JoJo has announced her sixth studio album ‘Trying Not to Think About It’.
The singer, who released two albums – ‘Good to Know’ and ‘December Baby’ – in 2020, will drop her latest LP on October 1.
Described as a “capsule project”, JoJo says the 12-track record “is a result of feeling sooooo lost, scared, and confused at the end of 2020 – desperate to believe in/find my light once again”.

“Sometimes we feel like we’re the only ones. But we NEVER are alone in our darkness,” she continues.
“If you listen, I hope this project makes you feel seen, validated, not crazy, and hopeful that you won’t feel bad forever. You’re more in control than you think.”
Its first single Worst (I Assume) is out Friday, August 20.
Additionally, the singer announced a string of “intimate” US tour dates in support of the LP, with shows taking place in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Nashville and Los Angeles throughout October.
The star, who released single Creature of Habit in May, had planned to embark on a UK and European headline tour this year but, after axing the dates due to Covid, she hinted at an extensive 2022 jaunt.
