Coco Jones Breaks Through With Her Honest, Soulful First Album

Coco Jones

Coco Jones has officially arrived—and she’s not just knocking on the door of greatness, she’s kicking it down. Why Not More?, her long-awaited debut album released via High Standardz/Def Jam, is both a personal declaration and a genre-fluid showcase of a voice that refuses to be boxed in.

The 14-track album is polished yet emotionally raw, riding a seamless arc between lush R&B, airy pop, hip-hop bravado, and reggae-fused meditations. It’s led by the Grammy-nominated hit “Here We Go (Uh Oh),” a song that now feels like the thesis statement to a record about self-discovery, vulnerability, and ownership of one’s narrative.

On tracks like “Most Beautiful Design” featuring Future and London on Da Track, Coco balances sultry elegance with rhythmic heat, while “Taste” delivers flirtatious confidence over velvet-soft production. But it’s the title track, a thoughtful reggae-tinged collaboration with YG Marley, where Jones shows her hand as both a singer and philosopher—questioning love, self-worth, and the ache of longing.

Throughout Why Not More?, Jones’ voice moves like smoke—graceful, rich, occasionally stinging. There’s pain in her lyrics, but also power. “This album is about leaning into whoever you are right now,” she says—and it shows. She leans all the way in.

The upcoming Why Not More? Tour, kicking off May 6 in Philadelphia, feels less like promo and more like a victory lap. With labelmates TA Thomas and Lady London in tow, Jones is setting the tone for a new era in R&B—one where introspection and swagger coexist.

Coco Jones is no longer just a rising star. With Why Not More?, she plants her flag as one of R&B’s most compelling voices. And if this is her starting point, we’re lucky—because she’s just getting started.
