JoJo
|
Released: 7th May 2007.
After the Top 5 success of "Too Little Too Late" in January, JoJo returns with the second single from her sophomore album "The High Road". Given a unique sound by using a clever sample of Toto's "Africa", "Anything" is a sophisticated and chilled out track, much different to JoJo's previous singles, but it shows her ever-growing maturity as an artist. She may have only just celebrated her 16th birthday, but JoJo has one powerful set of lungs, and she definitely knows how to use them.

Headline news - JoJo covers ToTo! Yes, for JoJo's latest song, we have a sample of the Toto classic "Africa" opening up, followed by a dull R&B song over the backing of the Toto track. For my money, I'd much rather lsiten to the Toto original than this bland, R&B-by-numbers ballad.
