Coco Jones Gets Real: Speaks On Her Growth, Love & The New Album

Coco Jones may have a trophy shelf that could rival some of the industry’s biggest stars, but if you ask her, she’s just getting started. In a candid sit-down with the iconic Angie Martinez, Coco opens up about the journey from being a child star to stepping fully into her grown woman era — on her own terms.

The two kick things off by running through Coco’s long list of accolades. From her BET Award for Best New Artist to a Grammy nomination for her powerhouse vocals, Coco has been turning heads and silencing doubters. But despite the recognition, Coco makes it clear — she’s still in her early chapters.

“I feel like my EP was the first date,” she says with a laugh. “This debut album? That’s where I learn and grow.”

And speaking of her album, Coco is bringing the heat with a lead single featuring YG Marley. “It’s giving island vibes,” she says, beaming. The track sets the tone for a body of work that’s not just musically rich — but emotionally honest.

But while Coco’s career is taking off, her personal life is something she’s keeping under lock and key. Angie tries to slide in a few questions about Coco’s love life, but the singer keeps it classy and mysterious.

“I have to live my life,” Coco responds firmly. “It’s new, and it’s scary. I’ve been in this media-trained bubble since I was a kid. Now it’s like — who am I in the middle of what I’ve been taught? I don’t want to overshare or undershare. I’m just trying to be authentic with my fans.”

That authenticity hasn’t gone unnoticed. Angie points out the massive shift in Coco’s public presence — from flying under the radar to now having the world’s eyes on her every move.

With the spotlight getting brighter, Coco is more focused than ever. Her debut album drops this Friday, April 25, and she’s hitting the road on tour with Lady London soon after. And while she juggles music, she’s also saying goodbye to her TV role in the hit series Belaire, which is wrapping up its fourth and final season.

“I’m excited to end it, knowing that it’s gonna be ending,” she says with a sense of peace.

Whether it’s closing chapters or starting new ones, Coco Jones is navigating it all with grace, growth, and just the right amount of mystery. And if this is just the beginning — we’re more than ready for what’s next
