Coco Jones has dropped Why Not More (MORE!), the deluxe edition of her debut album, Why Not More?
The expanded set contains all the original tracks, including the hit “Here We Go (Uh Oh),” plus eight bonus tracks. The added songs include the previously shared “Here We Go (Remix)” with Leon Thomas and the Lady London-assisted “Is It Mine,” as well as the “Other Side of Love” featuring Alicia Keys.
In the latter ballad, Keys joins Jones in the second verse with slightly refreshed lyrics from the original. “I’m always lookin’ for love / I Know what it does / I can’t get enough, I’m not givin’ up,” she sings, before dueting with Jones throughout the rest of the track.
Jones teased a possible collaboration with Keys by posting a screenshot of a DM she received from the music icon on Instagram. “Let’s create some magic! Sending you love,” Keys wrote with a purple heart emoji. Jones excitedly replied, “Stop playinggg you know I’m down asf!”
The screenshot was shared the day after Jones posted an acapella cover of Keys’ classic “If I Ain’t Got You.”
Collaborations aside, MORE! features five solo tracks. “Delete It” finds Jones grappling with moving on from a failed relationship, wondering if she should send a text to try to rekindle the fire. “I wanna say what’s on my mind, wanna say what’s on my mind / Should I do it or just delete it?” she contemplates in the chorus.
Jones announced the deluxe edition on Aug. 1 with a skit of her present-day self giving a past version of herself an update on how she’s doing now in her professional and personal lives, including winning a Grammy and, most recently, getting engaged.
Why Not More? was released April 25 via High Standardz/Def Jam. The album was preceded by the singles “Here We Go (Uh Oh),” “Most Beautiful Design” featuring London On Da Track and Future, “Taste” and “You.”
“Why Not More? is the question I’ve been asking myself in hopes of understanding me and growing in confidence,” explained Jones. “This album is about leaning into whoever you are right now without worrying about who you’ve been or who you want to be in the future. Authenticity will never lead you to the wrong place, so why not lean in?”
On Sept. 10, Jones will kick off the European/U.K. leg of her Why Not More Tour? in Cologne. She will visit Berline, Brussels, Amsterdam and France, before wrapping up in London on Sept. 19.
