Title: #LoveJo
Artiste: JoJo
Genre: Pop/Soul

Love
1. The orchestral intro and her low voice
2. The fact that it's a short album (EP really); just over 15 mins
3. Violin at the end of “Caught up in the rapture”
4. The surprise at how her voice sounds; had I note seen her I would think she was black
5. Her take on Collins' “Take me home”, one of his better songs before he went totally pop.

Hate
1. That none of the songs are written, or even co-written by her. I know these are all covers but I checked her albums and they're all pretty much written by other songwriters. I never like that.

End result: I really liked this, a pity it wasn't longer. Of course, given that they're all covers I wonder if I would like her original material, and may check it out at some time. Still...

So, Love or Hate? This has to be a first for Love!

Chances of a full review: 3/10, but only because it's so short and I usually don't do EPs. I may look into her albums though. She's certainly got a better chance of getting the full Trollheart than any of the others so far. Goofle wins this round!
