Why Not More? (Extended) Official Artwork CRITICAL PRAISE FOR WHY NOT MORE? “…varied, intimate, and always on-message…. a confident, sumptuous statement of intent that places her firmly in R&B’s upper echelons.” *4/5 stars* -Rolling Stone “…Coco Jones is stepping fully into her moment” “….Coco Jones isn’t waiting on anyone. She’s owning her narrative, amplifying her voice, and delivering the kind of debut that asks — and answers — the question: Why not more?” – Billboard “Judging by ‘Taste’—the undeniably sexy and viral single—Jones is more than primed for a new level of pop stardom. The track is meticulous in its production, with her soulful voice floating over silky synths and trap beats.” -GLAMOUR “…showcases what’s made her one of R&B’s brightest new stars: lyrical openness, a love for sampling R&B classics, powerful church-bred vocals, and a knack for magnetic melodies. “ -GRAMMY.COM

She signed with High Standardz/Def Jam in 2022 and released the EP What I Didn’t Tell You with the lead single “ICU,” which has been certified platinum. In 2024, she was nominated for an impressive five Grammy Awards—including the coveted Best New Artist accolade— and won for Best R&B Performance “ICU.” The song was lauded by fans and critics alike and peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Airplay chart, leading to Best New Artist wins at the BET Awards, The Soul Train Awards and NAACP Image Awards. With the recent release of her debut album, Why Not More? this next chapter finds the multihyphenate singer/songwriter and actress stepping into an era of empowerment and connection while challenging the standards of R&B. Coco Jones returned to the Grammys this year for nominations for Best R&B Performance & Best R&B Song. Coco Jones was raised in Nashville, TN by a mother who was also a singer, and a father who played in the NFL. Early on, she learned the importance of following her dreams. She began recording at the age of 9 and was called to acting—first as a recurring guest on Disney’s musical sketch comedy, So Random!, and in 2012, as the golden-voiced love interest in the network’s TV movie, Let It Shine. Since then, she’s showcased her formidable acting skills playing Hilary Banks in Peacock’s Fresh Prince reboot, Bel-Air, which has recently been renewed for a fourth season and Netflix’s Vampires vs. the Bronx. Coco Jones recently wrapped production on an upcoming romantic comedy, That’s Her, in which she is starring and executive producing. Connect with Coco Jones: |
