[LISTEN] JoJo - #LoveJo EP

Just caught wind of JoJo's four-track Valentine's Day EP. I've always enjoyed the purity and range of the 23-year-old's voice, and even in just four songs she puts it on full display. Reportedly working on her first album in eight years for Atlantic, she strings together exquisite, soulful covers of Anita Baker's "Caught Up in the Rapture" and Phil Collins' "Take Me Home". My personal favorite, "Glory", is inspired by opera singer Kathleen Battle.

Check out all four songs from JoJo's new EP below.

[WATCH] Childish Gambino covers "I'd Die Without You"

It's no secret how much we enjoy Donald Glover's work. We'll be in Philly next month when he makes his stop on the Deep Web Tour. Check out Gambino doing a live cover of P.M. Dawn's 1992 song "I'd Die Without You" at a recent visit to BBC Live Lounge. I thought he showed just how vocally gifted he is on his December album Because The Internet, and he's on the same wavelength here. Check out his resonant performance below.
