 (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 of 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.

 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!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 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.

| | Pink Funhouse CD (2008) Explicit
High Road
$11.59
Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the album deals primarily with aftermath of her divorce and includes serious moments of self-confrontation like "Sober," fans needn't worry that Pink has lost any of her chutzpah.
If anything, there's an increased sense of confidence and newfound liberation on tracks like the chest-thumping "So What" and the mischievous, ...

| | Fugees Score CD (1996)
High Road
$6.79 
THE SCORE won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, and "Killing Me Softly" won a 1997 Grammy for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. The album was also nominated for Album Of The Year.
On their second album, the Fugees utilize a couple of the mid-'90s trends in hip-hop--cinematic construct and references to Asian fighting techniques. But THE SCORE transcends much of the genre's recent output, because it's as much about musicality as it is about beats. In fact, deep beats often take a back seat to tense, noir grooves. More importantly, all three rappers--Haitian males, Wyclef and Pras, and New Jerseyite female, Lauryn Hill--swing hard, syncopating around the beats like jazz instrumentalists, making THE SCORE a complex and challenging listen.
THE SCORE also boasts some of the most intelligent, non-exclusionary rhymes in recent memory. Wyclef claims to "run through Crown Heights/Screaming out Mazel Tov" and Hill draws parallels between herself and both Nina Simone and Elliot Ness. Too politically astute and musically talented to fall into the ruts of rap cliches and dependence on overused samples, the Fugees ...

| | Miles Davis Big Fun CDs (1974) Remastered
High Road
$15.95
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 ...
