Coco Jones Redefines R&B with Her Debut Album 'Why Not More?' – Listen Now

Coco Jones’ Why Not More?, released via High Standardz/Def Jam Recordings, is proof that the artist belongs among the top-tier R&B talent today.

The 14-track project is a vibrant tapestry of soulful melodies, genre-blending experimentation, and unflinching candor, showcasing a young artist unafraid to push boundaries while honoring the genre’s roots.

Jones approached Why Not More? with a radical question: what music would she create without fear of comparison or external expectations? This mindset, born from her Grammy-winning success with ICU, allowed her to craft an album that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.

NME describes the record as “deeper, richer, and more wide-ranging” than her previous work, noting its ability to capture Jones as a woman unafraid to evolve.

From the sultry confidence of tracks like Taste to the introspective balladry of Here We Go (Uh Oh), the album traverses a spectrum of R&B sonics, blending classic soul with modern flourishes like amapiano-inspired rhythms and jazz-inflected grooves.

At just 27, Coco Jones has already worn many hats—Disney Channel alum, Bel-Air actress, and now R&B trailblazer. Why Not More? feels like the culmination of years of grinding, as Glamour noted in a recent cover story, positioning her on the cusp of superstardom.

The album’s critical acclaim—four stars from Rolling Stone and glowing reviews from NME and Clash—signals that Jones is not just meeting expectations but exceeding them.

Her upcoming tour, announced alongside the album’s release, promises to bring her dynamic energy to stages worldwide, further solidifying her as a force to be reckoned with.
