Why Not More? is the debut studio album by American actress and singer-songwriter Coco Jones, released on April 25, 2025, by Def Jam.[1] The album features guest appearances from Future and YG Marley. Production was handled by various producers, including Stargate, Cardiak, Eric Hudson, M-Phazes, Cirkut, Sam Wish, Happy Perez, London on da Track, Protoje, and Larrance Dopson from 1500 or Nothin', amongst others. The album was supported by four singles: "Here We Go (Uh Oh)", "Most Beautiful Design", "Taste" and "You"; of which the former received a Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The album received acclaim from music critics, with many of whom praising Coco's vocal delivery and the album's cohesiveness and production.

Critical reception

[edit]

The album was met with acclaim. Gary Gerard Hamilton from Associated Press lauded the album as "fearless", "travers[ing] through a spectrum of R&B sonics and vibes, from introspective to seductive, [while] not shying away from any of the pressure that can come with attempting to replicate the success of a song like "ICU."[1] It also received positive reviews from NME and Rolling Stone.[2][3]
