JoJo spent the weekend in Austin checking off a major first: her very first F1 race at Circuit of the Americas. Before the Grand Prix, she performed an intimate acoustic set at the Tommy Hilfiger“Soundtracks”event at the Austin Proper Hotel, where she talked about the brand’s partnership with the Cadillac F1 Team and credited Aaliyah as her first introduction to Tommy Hilfiger. Her take on racing?“I like to drive fast, bi—! I love to go fast.”
But the bigger news for longtime fans is musical. This year marks 20 years since her second album, The High Road, and Seeker Music, which acquired her first two albums, is planning a special anniversary rerelease. That’s not all: JoJo launches“The High Road: 20 Years Unplugged,”a seven-city acoustic tour, in November, giving fans a stripped-back way to hear the songs two decades later.
Through it all, her outlook stays simple:“You just keep going.”Between racing, fashion, and a catalog milestone, JoJo is having the kind of year that proves staying power is its own kind of flex. Which era of JoJo has been your favorite so far?
