The wait is over. Four years after the release of her sophomore album The High Road, JoJo makes her much-awaited return to music. Not even label drama can stop the 19-year-old songstress from shining bright on “In the Dark,” the first offering from her mixtape Can’t Take That Away From Me, premiering September 7 exclusively on Rap-Up.com.

“I think ‘In the Dark’ is different than anything people have heard from me before,” JoJo says of the song, which was produced by Jordan Gatsby and co-written by JoJo and Gatsby. “It’s a very sensual record and there’s an undertone of sadness to it.”

The track’s experimental sound does not necessarily reflect the material on her upcoming third studio album All I Want Is Everything. Instead, it’s a thank you to her loyal fans who’ve stuck by her throughout the years.

Rap-Up.com has your first look at the artwork for JoJo’s mixtape Can’t Take That Away From Me, the prequel to her third studio album All I Want Is Everything. Photographed by Steven Taylor and designed by Mowie Inc., the 19-year-old songstress keeps her head to the sky on the black-and-white cover.

“This mixtape is more experimental,” JoJo tells Rap-Up.com. “I was able to do some things that were more soulful, incorporate live instruments, and say things that I wouldn’t normally say on an album. I was just able to take more of a risk. It is all over the place, just like me.”

“In the Dark,” the first offering from Can’t Take That Away From Me, will premiere Monday on Rap-Up.com, followed by the full mixtape on September 7.
