Full disclosure: I have to admit that when I got an email about JoJo's comeback, I thought that I was getting ready to read about JoJo of Jodeci fame. Yeah, wrong JoJo. This is JoJo who we told you in March was dropping a new album when we shared her song "Wait a Minute (For Your Love)." Well, we're still waiting on that release, but in the meantime she has dropped a mixtape (which have become the new albums, but that's another discussion), Can't Take That Away From Me, and the first official single from it is the song "In the Dark." The video, you'll see, revolves around the concept of being in the dark by being unable to see. JoJo and her love interest are blindfolded throughout the video as words in an over-sized font flash sporadically. Overall, there is just an ill match between the song and visuals that are monochrome and, well, plain boring. Nothing more than that, really. The video is just really boring. Low budget does not always have to equal cheesy, but, unfortunately this vid drowns in it. While JoJo can blow ordinarily as a vocalist, this video and song blow in a way that is not good. Watch at your own risk.
