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 jalapeΓ±o in the middle of a sauna.
You heard that rightβit’s her first traditional album in nearly a decade! Thatβs right, sheβs been living her best life, sipping tea, and maybe rewatching American Idol reruns just to remind herself how legendary she is. But now, sheβs 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 Sheβs 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 spaghettiβcareful, yet with enough flair to get sauce on your favorite white shirt.
And oh, the sauce is real. Because sheβs sprinkling in some magic with the help of T-Pain (yes, the T-Pain), Stonebwoy, and Shawn Stockman (from Boyz II Menβdonβt act like you didnβt cry to End of the Road).
Jordinβs 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:
βI am so elated to reveal the No Restrictions back cover! It was SO tough to choose from 150+ songs (because clearly, Iβm the queen of options), but I narrowed it down to 15 of my top faves! Weβve been through the fire together, yβall, like toast in a toaster, and I canβt wait for you to hear these jams.β
Let me pause for a moment to reflectβ150+ songs? Jordin really out here like, βI got enough songs to cover the next five presidential elections, but Iβmma give you 15… because I care about your emotional stability.β
She continues, βThese songs are really special to me, and Iβm ecstatic for you to meet me and who I amβ¦ now. (Spoiler: Iβm still amazing).β
She also threw in a line about how she knows weβll find something to connect with. Thereβs βsomething for everyone,β she promises. Whether youβre a serial cry-in-the-car singer, a bedroom dance party enthusiast, or that person who canβt decide between three moods in one day, Jordinβs 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 youβll need a fan) are also along for the ride.
Jordinβs basically saying, βIβm here to make your ears happy, and Iβm bringing some legendary friends to help me do it.β
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 Jordinβs vocals? Only time will tell. But one thingβs for sureβwhen 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 isnβt just droppingβitβs about to somersault into your life with all the grace of a majestic eagle… wearing sunglasses. π¦ π§
