JoJo has suggested fans stream her re-recorded music after it was announced her first two albums will hit digital platforms for the first time. 

The singer made her chart debut back in 2004 with her hit single Leave (Get Out), lifted from her self-titled first studio album. 

‘JoJo’ and ‘The High Road’ – featuring her smash Too Little Too Late – were released on Blackground Records and, following the resurrection of the label, will be available digitally from September 24. 

However, when a fan on Twitter shared their excitement over the re-release of JoJo’s music, the star seemed less than impressed with the move. 

“never telling you what to do, but just so you know – a stream of the re-recorded 2018 version supports me and helps me continue to do what I love,” she said. 

“streaming the original unfortunately does not.”

Alongside the digital release, JoJo’s albums will be issued on CD and vinyl, along with records from other Blackground acts including Toni Braxton and Aaliyah. 

While fans were thrilled to finally have music from the late star online, however, her family hit out at Blackground boss, Aaliyah’s uncle Barry Hankerson, via lawyer Paul LiCalsi.

Insisting the company had “failed to account to the estate with any regularity in accordance with her recording contracts,” they raged: “In addition, the estate was not made aware of the impending release of the catalogue until after the deal was complete and plans were in place.

“The estate has demanded that Blackground provide a full account of its past earnings, and full disclosure of the terms of its new deal to distribute Aaliyah’s long embargoed music.”
