JOJO GETS REFLECTIVE IN TIMELESS NEW SONG “AMERICAN MOOD”
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE
Acclaimed singer and songwriter JoJo shares her reflective new song “American Mood,” out today on Clover Music/Warner Records.
Originally penned back in 2017 alongside close collaborators Tommy Parker, Nikki Flores, and D’Mile, “American Mood” takes a page from the folk songwriters of the sixties. The sparse yet universal song serves as a meditation on our times, acknowledging that even as America enters a new chapter, there is always more work to be done.
In that spirit, a portion of proceeds from “American Mood” will go to the “I Have A Dream” Foundation, which provides individualized social, emotional, and academic support to young people from low-income communities. As the song’s lyrics assert, “To all the kids without a silver spoon…you deserve much more, this one’s for you.”
