JoJo's Old Soul

It's been three years since JoJo released her last album, and you may be asking yourself where she's been -- but probably not, since she's best known for two sugary "TRL" friendly singles and starring in a movie with Robin Williams about a trailer.

Don't sleep, though: the sexy singer (she's legal now, I can say that) has been keeping busy in the midst of label drama (Blackground Records is currently in limbo between distributors), deciding to go to Northeastern University in the fall while putting the final touches on her forthcoming album, All I Want is Everything.

Take one listen to some of the covers she's done while on hiatus (she absolutely murdered the original versions of Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" and T-Pain's "Can't Believe It") and it's apparent that JoJo has a more diverse taste than one might expect a white girl from the 'burbs thus far portrayed as a teeny bopper might have.

She most recently tackled Drake's "Houstatlantavegas", and while she didn't shame Drake's version quite the way she did with the other two, she definitely showed a wise-beyond-her-years lyrical sensibility as well as emotional growth in her vocals (or it could just be puberty). Double props for incorporating Jay-Z's "I Know", the video for which might play with JoJo's take as an alternate soundtrack.

Here's hoping the all grown up JoJo will get a chance to shine once the technical logistics are figured out.
