Filipina American soul-pop artist Jolene Lozano makes a fiery comeback with her latest single, โEmotional Damage,โ released on October 10, 2025. The track marks the birth of her alter ego, JOJOโa fearless, unfiltered version of herself who refuses to be silenced or belittled. After years of crafting tender, self-questioning songs, Jolene flips the narrative, turning her scars into a badge of strength. Written after enduring hurtful remarks from someone close, โEmotional Damageโ is an act of rebellion against doubt, reclaiming self-worth with confidence and groove.
The song kicks off gently, almost deceptively, with soft guitar plucks and Joleneโs tender, rich vocals laying the groundwork for emotional honesty. Her voice, thick and velvety, carries a quiet ache in the verses, like sheโs reading straight from her diary. Then the drums stride in, steady, tight, and assertive, setting a punchy rhythm that feels like standing up after being knocked down one too many times. The horns soon follow, bursting brightly in the chorus like sunlight cutting through clouds, soulfully the whole track into anthem territory.
But the real magic lies in her delivery. She sings with grit and grace, balancing her vulnerability with unflinching power. When she belts, itโs not just about hitting notesโitโs about hitting back.
By the time the final chorus fades, โEmotional Damageโ feels less like heartbreak and more like a victory lap. Itโs honest, catchy, and catharticโa modern empowerment anthem dressed in soulful pop attire. With JOJO stepping into the spotlight, Jolene Lozano isnโt just healingโsheโs rewriting her story, one fearless note at a time.
