May 3, 2024 – Following a GRAMMY® Award win, widespread critical acclaim, and a groundswell of excitement this year, powerhouse singer/songwriter and multi-hyphenate actress Coco Jones returns with new single “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” out now via HIGH STANDARDZ / DEF JAM RECORDINGS.It notably marks her first new release of 2024 and extends her streak of unforgettable moments.
“Here We Go” chronicles the vicious pattern of heartbreak— trying to get over someone and endlessly being pulled back in. Co-written by Coco, the track was produced by Cardiak (Drake, Kendrick Lamar, H.E.R., PARTYNEXTDOOR) and Kelvin “Wu10” Wooten (J. Cole, Jazmine Sullivan), and samples Lenny Williams’ simmering 1978 soul ballad “Cause I Love You.” Her vocals swoon with confidence and charisma on the chorus, and she sings, “I know when you said goodbye, it don’t mean no goodbye, here we go, uh oh.”
About the song, Coco explains, “It’s the impossible mission to move on from this chapter, from this person, from this cycle.”
She initially previewed the song on social media, inciting widespread anticipation amongst fans. The teasers have gathered over 30 million views across platforms with 7,000-plus comments on Instagram alone.
Most importantly, it sets the stage for the release of her anxiously new full-length album, coming soon.
In 2024, Coco has skyrocketed to superstar status. Out of five nominations, her platinum-certified smash “ICU” picked up a 2024 Grammy Award® for “Best R&B Performance.” Meanwhile, she has incited widespread tastemaker applause. In an extensive feature, Billboard raved, “The pureness and clarity of Jones’ full-bodied vocals call to mind R&B’s traditional soul roots and its 1990s heyday, but she puts a modern spin of her own on the proceedings,” while Associated Press, Variety, Business Insider, Complex, and more profiled her. Perhaps, NYLON put it best by christening her an “IT GIRL.”
2023 was a landmark year for Coco, she notably took home Best New Artist honors at the BET Awards, The Soul Train Awards and the NAACP Image Awards. She was selected for MTV Push, BET Amplified, YouTube Music’s Black Voices ’23, Spotify’s ‘23 R&B Artists to Watch, Pandora’s ’23 Artist to Watch, Apple Music’s Future 40, and Essence’s 35 Under 35: Young, Black, & Amazing.
