Coco Jones Announces Debut Album ‘Why Not More’

Coco Jones announced Thursday (Feb. 20) that she’ll be dropping her debut album Why Not More on April 25 via Def Jam Recordings.

“It’s FINALLY here,” she wrote on X with a crying emoji. “My DEBUT album ‘Why Not More’ is dropping 4/25 and will be available for pre-order tonight 9pm PST.”

Jones released a handful of singles last year, including her Grammy-nominated hit “Here We Go (Uh Oh),” which was up for best R&B song and best R&B performance at this year’s awards show. “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” also became her first No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay and received a remix with Leon Thomas. She’s set to release a new single, “Taste,” on Friday, Feb. 21, and is celebrating its release with a pop-up in West Hollywood, Calif.

Why Not More will arrive three years after her last project, What I Didn’t Tell You. The seven-track EP (with four more songs on the deluxe) included her breakout hit “ICU,” which became her career-first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 62. “ICU” was nominated for best R&B performance and best R&B song at the 2024 Grammy Awards, winning the former, while Jones was up for best new artist, What I Didn’t Tell You (Deluxe) was up for best R&B album, and her “Simple” collaboration with Babyface from his 2022 album Girls Night Out was up for best traditional R&B performance.
