    A Tour Fueled by Chart-Topping Success

    This tour comes on the heels of Carti’s critically acclaimed second album, “MUSIC,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album has achieved massive success, selling nearly 300,000 units in its first week and accumulating over 3 billion streams globally. Rolling Stone hailed it as a “rap-reconfiguring album,” while Billboard recognized Carti as “one of the most distinctive voices in rap.”

  • Coco Jones Drops Deluxe Album & Alicia Keys Remix

    Coco Jones is keeping the momentum going! Fresh off the success of her debut album “Why Not More?” and her headlining tour, the GRAMMY Award-winning R&B star is extending her “Hot Coco Summer” with a deluxe edition of her album. Titled “Why Not More? MORE!,” this expanded version is packed with new tracks and a highly anticipated collaboration.

    Eight New Tracks and Dream Collaborations

    The deluxe edition boasts eight brand-new songs, including flirty and cool tracks like “Control Freak,” “Love So Big,” and “Passport.” Adding even more star power, the project features three collaborations. Jones teams up with her tour mate Lady London for “Is It Mine,” joins Leon Thomas on the remix of “Here We Go (Uh Oh),” and fulfills a dream collaboration with the legendary Alicia Keys for “Other Side Of Love (Remix).”

    The remix of “Other Side Of Love” transforms the heartfelt ballad into a powerful duet. The synergy between Coco Jones and Alicia Keys is remarkable, with their voices complementing each other beautifully and blending seamlessly in the harmonies. Keys’ addition feels like the perfect missing piece, enhancing the foundation Jones had already built.

    Accompanying the “Other Side Of Love (Remix)” is an intimate behind-the-scenes visual. The black-and-white video offers a glimpse into the studio sessions with Jones and Keys, capturing their genuine connection and creative energy. Scenes show the two artists hugging, Coco stepping up to the microphone, and Alicia playing the piano, bringing the song’s creation to life.

    Coco Jones truly delivers a deluxe experience with “Why Not More? MORE!.” The new songs are described as excellent, first-class R&B that perfectly complement the original album’s mission. It’s appreciated that she chose to share this wealth of new material with her fans.
