JoJo admits the lyrics were influenced by real-life romantic events.''I was confused about a boy,she says, so I wrote this to tell him how to touch a girl's heart.'' The record's simple and sumptuous sonics are reminiscent of soul and jazz classics from back in the day. Perhaps the record she's most proud of is ''How to Touch a Girl,'' which she co-wrote with Steinberg. On the hard-hitting track, ''Anything'' (Bo Dozier), JoJo puts a funky new spin on a familiar 80's megahit Toto's Africa. With JoJo's complex vocalizations over highly-infectious beats, these songs are impossible to listen to sitting down. She picks up the pace with straight-out party jams like ''This Time'', produced by Scott Storch, and ''The Way You Do Me'' by Swiss Beats.

Armed with a top lineup of writers and producers, namely Swizz Beatz, Scott Storch, Diane Warren, Sean Garrett, Bo Dozier, Billy Steinberg, Josh Alexander, Ryan Leslie, and SoulShock and Karlin. JoJo (aka Joanna Levesque) releases her second major label CD titled The High Road. JoJo is a very talented singer and from the several previews to her stand out single, she has done another great job with this record.
