ENSPIRE Contributor: Dorianne Lewis
It’s not every day a Grammy winner drops a debut album—but then again, Coco Jones isn’t just any artist. On April 25, the powerhouse vocalist finally unveils her first full-length studio project, Why Not More?—a moment that feels long overdue and right on time.
Paired with a nationwide tour kicking off in May, the release marks a significant milestone for an artist whose journey from Disney breakout to R&B force has been anything but typical. For longtime fans, this moment is more than just a debut—it’s a full-circle arrival.
Jones recently revealed the official Why Not More? tracklist on social media, instantly sending fans into a frenzy. The album features a mix of fresh material and beloved tracks, including the Grammy-nominated “Here We Go (Uh-Oh)” and fan-favorite “Most Beautiful Design,” featuring Future and London On Da Track. Leading the project is the sultry new single “Taste.”
“Taste” sets the mood for what’s to come—a hypnotic, slow-burn R&B cut built around a slick interpolation of Britney Spears’ iconic “Toxic.” Produced by Stargate and Jasper Harris, the track oozes confidence and desire. It’s the sound of an artist stepping fully into her own. The accompanying Ava Rikki-directed video showcases Coco in full command, effortlessly blending elegance with edge.
More than just an album title, Why Not More? is a declaration. It’s a nod to Coco’s steady, strategic climb—one that’s earned her Grammy recognition even before releasing a debut LP, a feat few artists achieve. The kind of slow-burn rise proves staying power over viral flashes. While many artists debut with an album straight out of the gate, Coco played the long game, which paid off. Her 2022 breakout single “ICU” became a viral sensation, landing on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping R&B Airplay charts. The track earned her a Grammy for Best R&B Performance and honors from the BET, Soul Train, and NAACP Image Awards. A remix with Justin Timberlake only expanded her audience, solidifying her crossover appeal.
Now, she’s taking it all on the road. The Why Not More? Tour kicks off May 6 in Philadelphia, hitting over 30 cities across the U.S. and Canada—including major stops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and her hometown of Nashville. Houston fans can catch her on June 17 at the House of Blues, joined by rising stars Lady London and TA Thomas.

This tour isn’t just for the “ICU” diehards or the day-one believers—it’s for everyone who’s watched Coco Jones defy the odds and claim her moment. Why Not More? isn’t just a question—it’s the answer we’ve all been waiting for.
