JoJo’s ‘Jumping Trains’ has been chronically delayed for quite some time but it appears that the singer is finally nearing a decision regarding a concrete release date for the record. However, don’t expect to hear the material in the very near future because the album won’t debut until spring.

Despite promising that the LP would arrive in early 2012, ‘Jumping Trains’ will hit stores in April - the start of the second quarter. The project’s lead single, ‘Disaster’, peaked at #87 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September and has since fallen off the chart.

JoJo and her label – Interscope Records – are certainly playing the waiting game with her supporters but at this point almost all of the anticipation for ‘Jumping Trains’ has faded. She is undeniably talented and definitely deserves a spot at the top of the charts but she won’t get that success until her album is released.

What exactly is the cause for all of these delays? ‘Disaster’ was slowly gaining momentum but JoJo suddenly stopped promoting the tune as it began attract attention from Top 40 radio. Something has to be wrong with her team if they couldn’t understand the major flaws in her recent promotional campaign.

On the bright side, JoJo could use this most recent delay to record some stronger material. In fact, it would be a fantastic opportunity to craft a well-rounded album that would target both the Pop and Urban formats instead of just the former.
