Tracing her inner world, relationships, and career, Over The Influence gives an unfiltered look into JoJo’s decade-long legal battle with her record label Blackground, which she says stifled her ability to release new music at the height of her fame. It also explores the complex dynamics of her relationship with her parents who both struggled with addiction, and lays bare her own experiences searching for control and solace through substances, relationships, and an unhealthy relationship to work. It’s a story that is all the more powerful when heard in JoJo’s voice in the Spotify audiobook, a decision she insisted on.
