Ladies, gents, and everyone in between, brace yourselves because Jordin Sparks is about to spark up your playlist like never before. Forget everything you thought you knew about albums, because her new studio album, No Restrictions, is dropping on September 13, and let’s just say it’s going to be hotter than a jalapeรฑo in the middle of a sauna.
You heard that rightโit’s her first traditional album in nearly a decade! Thatโs right, sheโs been living her best life, sipping tea, and maybe rewatching American Idol reruns just to remind herself how legendary she is. But now, sheโs BACK, ready to bless us with the sounds of the future, while also probably causing a few of us to sob uncontrollably in the shower.
Remember When We Said Sheโs Got the Juice?
The hype started with her single Remember (yes, we remember, Jordin). And just when we thought that was enough, she decided to take off the lid on her album tracklist. I imagine she did this with the grace of someone lifting a pot of freshly cooked spaghettiโcareful, yet with enough flair to get sauce on your favorite white shirt.
And oh, the sauce is real. Because sheโs sprinkling in some magic with the help of T-Pain (yes, the T-Pain), Stonebwoy, and Shawn Stockman (from Boyz II Menโdonโt act like you didnโt cry to End of the Road).
Jordinโs Thoughts (Which Are Basically Prophecies)
In the most Jordin Sparks way possible, she shared the tracklist with a message that practically oozes excitement. Picture her bouncing around with glitter cannons while typing this:
โI am so elated to reveal the No Restrictions back cover! It was SO tough to choose from 150+ songs (because clearly, Iโm the queen of options), but I narrowed it down to 15 of my top faves! Weโve been through the fire together, yโall, like toast in a toaster, and I canโt wait for you to hear these jams.โ
Let me pause for a moment to reflectโ150+ songs? Jordin really out here like, โI got enough songs to cover the next five presidential elections, but Iโmma give you 15… because I care about your emotional stability.โ
She continues, โThese songs are really special to me, and Iโm ecstatic for you to meet me and who I amโฆ now. (Spoiler: Iโm still amazing).โ
She also threw in a line about how she knows weโll find something to connect with. Thereโs โsomething for everyone,โ she promises. Whether youโre a serial cry-in-the-car singer, a bedroom dance party enthusiast, or that person who canโt decide between three moods in one day, Jordinโs got your back.
The Guest List That Slaps
And did we mention T-Pain? Yes, autotune royalty is gracing us with his presence on this album. Stonebwoy, the dancehall maestro, and Shawn Stockman (probably serenading us all with harmonies so smooth youโll need a fan) are also along for the ride.
Jordinโs basically saying, โIโm here to make your ears happy, and Iโm bringing some legendary friends to help me do it.โ
Countdown to Musical Euphoria Begins
Now, the countdown has officially begun. Will your headphones survive? Will your car speakers give out from the sheer power of Jordinโs vocals? Only time will tell. But one thingโs for sureโwhen September 13 rolls around, Jordin Sparks will be in your headphones, laptops, radios, cars, and yes, hearts. (She said it, so it must be true.)
So mark your calendars, and prepare for a musical experience with No Restrictions. This album isnโt just droppingโitโs about to somersault into your life with all the grace of a majestic eagle… wearing sunglasses. ๐ฆ ๐ง
