I had the best time catching up with the one and only Coco Jones! She just dropped her Why Not More tour dates, and while she’s not stopping in Indy, Columbus and Chicago are calling our names! Road trip, anyone?

Coco is all about taking her time—not just with her music but with life. She’s been working on this album and tour for a while, and now she’s finally getting to enjoy the moment. “I wanted to experiment,” she told me. “Not just do what people expect.” And let me tell you—her latest single, “Taste,” is straight-up fire. That Britney Spears sample? Chef’s kiss!

But Coco isn’t just about the music. She’s balancing acting (yes, we see you, Hilary Banks on Bel-Air), her mental health, and her relationships. She even shared that therapy and journaling are her go-to self-care moves. “I love growing as a person,” she said.

Of course, I had to hit her with my Five in 25 game! What’s her must-have purse item? Chapstick—non-negotiable. And when she’s not working? She’s in bed, watching the same shows over and over and ordering ramen. Relatable.

So, what’s next? Her album “Why Not More” drops April 25th. She is manifesting chart-topping hits, a killer tour, and a well-earned vacation.

Coco, you’re a vibe. Keep soaring!
