YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

We like to pretend we're all sophisticated here at Shiny & New - "oooh yes Björk is popular music's great unsung genius, Tori Amos this, Tori Amos that, BRING BACK KATE BUSH, Madonna isn't just a popstar she's a feminist warrior, Erykah Badu transcends genre, style and ZeItGeIsT, Antony and the muthafucking Yohnsons rule yo world".

Well anyway, perhaps 'pretend' is the wrong word, because as misguided and pompous as that sounds, it's exactly how we feel. STILL. At the same time, we also feel that THIS (click click click) is a bonafide modern pop CLASSIC. Not to mention that three of the songs leaked from JoJo (for it is she)'s upcoming album All I Want Is Everything, are actually officially certified topnotch: "Wrong Man For The Job", "Keep Forgetting (To Forget About You)" and "Forever in my Life". They are shimmering modern power ballads and JoJo has (gosh we don't know what it is) but a certain je ne sais quoi (bleh) that lifts them from snoresome Leona territory to triumphant, euphoric pop.

Anyway her new album is finally coming out 'soon'.

Yay!
