 (33 Customer Reviews)
R&B/pop singer JoJo rose to prominence on the television show AMERICA'S MOST TALENTED KIDS, but quickly established herself as more than a child wonder with her 2004 debut. The artist's sophomore effort, HIGH ROAD, builds on the commercial pop ... Full Descriptionof her first album, fusing hip-hop-tinged beats with swirling, soulful grooves, emotive balladry, and singing that's heavy on melisma. The lead-off single, "Too Little Too Late," powered by a big radio-ready chorus, is a case in point. Top-shelf productions from hot producers like Scott Storch, Swizz Beats, and Jermaine Dupri boost the album's already considerable pedigree.
Personnel: JoJo (vocals); SoulShock & Karlin, Ryan Leslie (various instruments, programming).
Recording information: Soulpower Studios, Los Angeles, CA.
Entertainment Weekly (p.72) - "She's a vocal phenom, capable of Mariah Carey-style upper-register flourishes." -- Grade: B
Q (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[She] has an appealingly distinctive voice....'The Way You Do' is a supercharged finger-clicker..." Hide Description High Road Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews JoJo, you have out done yourself!
I remember being really excited about her sophomore release. I received it for Christmas (would have gotten it sooner but there was a death in the family a day before her CD was released). I remember begging my dad to get it for me for Christmas. When I opened the box it was in (along with a Digital Camera), I screamed with joy! I rushed to the car and popped it in and when I heard her voice, I was completely blown away. I loved ALL the songs! My favorite being 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12. I absolutely loved "Let It Rain", it was brilliant! But the vocals on "The High Road" (the song, #4) were incredible! I L-O-V-E-D this album! Even more than her first(that was fantastic too). Jojo has really out done herself and I am astounded by her success. I am her #1 fan and I am proud to say I am a her loyalest fan from day #1. I LOVE YOU JOJO!

JOJO!!!! YES you FINALLY came up with better songs! Your first album was (I'm sorry) pretty bad, but this totally makes up! The songs are more catchy and your voice is so much stronger! ROCK ON, GIRL!

Blown away
I've been a fan of JoJo since her very first single and to be honest I was a little skeptical about this album, because of all the other work she's been doing, I thought the quality of her music would slip. But I was blown away when I listened to this album. She has increased her range so much, and really shows off her talent in this album and her versatility. Best songs are 3, 4, 9, 11, 12.

Purchase High Road CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
High Road album
 $6.39  
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only ...
| | Jojo CD (2004)
High Road CD music
$13.85
The title of JOJO's first track, the revved-up and funky "Breezy," sums up the spirit of the record, as JoJo's elastic vocals belie her age. She displays an uncanny ability to balance the sensuous and the sweet on the friendship-turning-into-love jam "Homeboy," and even shows a knack for ballads with a faithful rendition of SWV's 1992 hit "Weak." Sure, JoJo is young, but she proves herself to be a performer beyond her years on this ...

High Road CD music
$10.75 
Beyonce had little to prove on her second solo outing, B'DAY, having already demonstrated her taste, (solo) vocal prowess, and sparkling star quality on her first post-Destiny's Child release in 2003. Nevertheless, the singer and her crack team of producers and collaborators (R&B's finest, including the Neptunes, Swizz Beats, and Rich Harrison) have come up with a collection that's at least equal to her previous triumphs, and that shows off an almost angry intensity only hinted at on earlier releases.
The club hit "Deja Vu," with an extended rap from boyfriend/producer Jay-Z, boasts an addictive bass line that contrasts dramatically with Beyonce's emotive upper register. The haunting ...

High Road music CDs
$11.59
One of Collectables' many Percy Faith two-fers, this disc pulls together two albums with little in common other than their common 1966 release date. BIM! BAM! BOOM! (tracks 1-11) is Faith's Brazilian album, with originals and covers of songs by Bossa Nova pioneers like Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis Bonfa. Highlights include "Samba de Orfeu," from the film BLACK ORPHEUS, and the bouncy title track. THEMES FOR THE IN CROWD (tracks 12-23) consists of easy listening covers of mid-60s ...
| | Miles Davis Big Fun CDs (1974) Remastered
High Road songs
$16.15
In the period following Miles Davis' crossover breakthrough, BITCHES BREW, the trumpeter recorded incessantly, trying out new combinations of ideas and musicians. These progressive young musicians went on to forge a new alloy of music from the ore of funk, electric soul, psychedelic blues and progressive rock, with trace elements of classical and jazz. And Miles was the lightning rod for it all.
BIG FUN gathers up some of the trumpeter's choicest experiments in '70s cool, much of it with a profoundly Indian flavor, and Miles' attraction to raga phrasing mirrors his love of flamenco melodies, particularly on "Lonely Fire" (a late Miles ballad in the tradition of "Nefertiti," "Shhh/Peaceful" and "Sanctuary"). This moody arrangement is distinguished by floating tear drops of tamboura, sitar, tabla and Fender/Rhodes, as Miles sounds taps, shadowed by soprano sax and bass clarinet, before breaking into tempo over the crossrhythms of Billy Cobham and Jack DeJohnette.
Miles employs twin keyboardists, twin bassists and twin drummers, throughout BIG FUN, and the visceral starts and stops of "Great Expectations" highlight the sort of layered, collective polyphony he was trying to develop, his focused melodies acting as a lyric beacon. "Ife" is Miles in his ON THE CORNER mode, marked by the arrival of funk bassist Michael Henderson, percussionist Mtume ...
