À propos de cet audio
A breathtakingly candid memoir by Joanna "JoJo" Levesque, the chart-topping, multi-platinum recording artist behind hits like “Leave (Get Out),” “Too Little, Too Late”, and the Grammy Award-winning "Say So"
Signed to a major recording deal at just 12 years old, JoJo catapulted to the top of the pop-and-R&B-infused charts in the mid 2000's. The relatability of her youth and the appeal of her cool-girl mystique earned her millions of fans around the world. JoJo was an undeniable superstar and pop culture fixture, spanning roles in major studio films, omnipresence on Top 40 radio, frequenting magazine covers, and appearing on national TV. Then, out of the blue, everything came to a halt and JoJo seemingly stepped out of the spotlight, leaving many fans to wonder: What happened to JoJo?
In OVER THE INFLUENCE, JoJo holds nothing back as she brings her against-the-odds story of adversity and triumph to center stage. From being raised by parents who were both battling addiction and depression, to emerging victorious in a never-ending lawsuit with her record label, to putting the fragmented pieces of herself together after a maddening period of rebellion and self-betrayal, she takes the listener through the turbulent years that led her to where she is now: releasing new music under her own imprint, performing in shows and festivals around the world, headlining a Broadway show, and beyond. In this raw, behind-the-scenes look at her life, both personal and professional, JoJo’s unflinching vulnerability allows listeners to connect with her on a whole new level through stories of success, heartbreak, redemption, and resilience.
More than a victory lap from an artist with over two decades in an ever-changing entertainment industry, OVER THE INFLUENCE is an unapologetic rallying cry to anyone who’s ever been terrified to fail and still said, “Count me in.”

Nothing Is Missing is a “sparkling and impassioned story” (Glamour) of what it takes to show up for yourself—and the joy that can come once you do. Raised in a home where food was unstable and anger was the norm, Nicole learned that she needed to take charge of her own safety and security. So she did: She got into an elite private school by talking to a stranger in her dad’s cab, she strategized her way onto Wheel of Fortune to pay for college, she adopted three girls after meeting their mother panhandling, she quit her job to launch her own business, and she struggled.

Born in a country that has repeatedly traumatized her and her loved ones, Maya Wiley grew up in a household that prioritized activism, hope, and resilience above all else. This attitude landed her father on President Nixon’s enemies list as her mother organized third-party political platforms. Still, they modeled hope for their children. In the decades since, she has borne witness as presidents and political figures used racism and fascism to gain power, and as cities have again and again elected white men, effectively shutting out people of color and women from having a political voice.

We are living in the Wild West of college sports. Name, Image and Likeness endorsements, the transfer portal, collectives, conference realignment, the powerful influence of media companies have all rendered the notion of amateur athletics a quaint relic of the past, replaced by a Brave New World where money and self-interest rule. The Price is a sweeping, in-depth, thought-provoking look at an inflection point in big-time college football.

With a play opening on Broadway, and every reason to smile, Sarah Ruhl has just survived a high-risk pregnancy when she discovers the left side of her face is completely paralyzed. She is assured that 90 percent of Bell’s palsy patients experience a full recovery—like Ruhl’s own mother. But Sarah is in the unlucky ten percent. And for a woman, wife, mother, and artist working in theater, the paralysis and the disconnect between the interior and exterior brings significant and specific challenges.

What happened was this: Jenny Slate was a human mammal who sniffed the air every morning hoping to find another person to love who would love her, and in that period there was a deep dark loneliness that she had to face and befriend, and then we are pleased to report that she did fall in love, and in that period she was like chimes, or a flock of clean breaths, and her spine lying flat was the many-colored planks on the xylophone, but also she was rabid with fear of losing this love, because of past injury.

Al Ward lives on an isolated mining claim in the high desert of central Nevada fifty miles from the nearest town. A grizzled man in his sixties, he survives on canned soup, instant coffee, and memories of his ex-wife, friends and family he’s lost, and his life as a touring musician. Hampered by insomnia, bouts of anxiety, and a chronic lethargy that keeps him from moving back to town, Al finds himself teetering on the edge of madness and running out of reasons to go on—until a horse arrives on his doorstep: nameless, blind, and utterly helpless.

Your autonomic nervous system is responsible for the constant but mostly subconscious communication between your brain and body. When you experience stress, anxiety, or trauma, your nervous system formulates responses to keep you alive. But you can also become trapped in survival mode if you’re consistently exposed to unsafe environments, toxic relationships, or destructive thought patterns. Mind-body practitioners Jen Mann and Karden Rabin now provide the first in-depth look at nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, Polyvagal theory, the vagus nerve, and the mind-body connection.

For a long time, scientists have wondered how life has emerged from inanimate chemistry, and whether Earth is the only place where it exists. Charles Darwin speculated about life on Earth beginning in a warm little pond. Some of his contemporaries believed that life existed on Mars. It once seemed inevitable that the truth would be known by now. It is not. For more than a century, the origins and extent of life have remained shrouded in mystery. But, as Mario Livio and Jack Szostak reveal in Is Earth Exceptional?, the veil is finally lifting.

Amazing Listen
I usually don’t do reviews but I was very pleasantly surprised with Jo’s memoir. I’ve been loving her music since I was in my pre-teen years and was so sad when her career took an involuntary hiatus. This was so well written and so very well narrated. I usually download an audiobook so I can drift off to sleep, but when I tried doing it for this, I just found myself lying awake in bed for an extra 3 hours because of how captivating her story is. I can’t praise and recommend this enough!

Her story is fascinating, she is honest and a joy to listen to. I knew a few of her songs back in the day but wasn't aware of how her label screwed her over so badly. She is a warrior!
Will definitely listen to it all over again!

Joanna shares her life story, but in a way that is relatable if you’ve struggled with addiction. This is an inspiring read for those in a dark place, looking for a way to carve and plan a way forward. It maintains a great balance of questions her fans have had, what she’s doing now, and how we can all heal together. Excellent listen - 10/10.

Raw and Captivating
I have been a fan of Joanna for twenty years, since the first moment I heard “Leave (Get Out)” and I have followed her along the years with all her endeavours. I unfortunately could not make it to a showing of Moulin Rouge but I stalked her instagram and read reviews anywhere I could! Reading this (actually I listened to it, because hearing it in her voice gave me chills) was so moving and profound. I honestly feel like a proud friend which also makes me feel silly since this is someone I’ve never met, or even had the pleasure of seeing live (I live in the maritimes in Canada, IYKYK). But overall my heart is so happy and grateful that she let us in like this and let her voice be free in more ways than one. As always, I cannot wait to see what comes next with all this empowerment, and I cannot wait to see what her soul creates. 10/10

The authors honesty, vulnerability and relatability.
I really like how Joanna just told the truth, she never sugar coated or tried to paint herself in a more desirable light. She never played victim even though, in her career there was almost no other way one could interpret her experience. I found her story of struggles with vices very relatable and real, I’ve never heard someone put it in such a way so grounded in reality. For many people, myself included, it is impossible to learn hard life lessons after just one mistake. An addicts experience is having no choice but to re learn lessons over and over again. She is such a stark example of how music labels really know absolutely nothing about artistry. Her commitment to authenticity is incredibly admirable and I cannot wait to hear her new music as an even bigger fan than I was when I started listening to this book. Joanna’s performance narrating was also very authentic. This book is a tear jerker and made me think back about my own life and patterns that have kept me stuck. That was a captivating listen.

The only memoir I’ve ever been waiting for!
I have been a die hard fan since day one back in 2004. I would consider myself one of those all out fans that would buy personalized engraved gifts on each tour she would do in Canada. I would literally spend hundreds of dollars on merch simply wanting to support her in any way a fan could. I spent many years googling weekly, when is Jojo’s album coming out and was very much part of the #freejojo movement. I remember regularly tweeting Blackground records things like, why are you sleeping on such talent, get a distribution deal, release Jojo from her contract. All this to say I was hoping one day a memoir would be released to learn what really happened all those years aside from what was public knowledge. Jo, I’m so F-en proud of you girl! This book has literally given me all the answers I’ve always wondered about! I took a road trip from Ottawa Canada this summer with my 2 kids to see you on broadway you were phenomenal!

Thank you Joanna!
Thank you for sharing so passionately your story with all of us. Raw artist Joanna Levesque! I was 13 and barely spoke any english when I first heard “Leave, get out” and sang my heart out with you understanding almost nothing lol but so inspired by your voice!When I saw the audiobook was available and you were narrating it, I immediately buckled up for a ride. And what a ride!

Incomplete
The way Jojo dips in and out of casual blaccent and Ebonics is uncomfortable at best. Jojo makes absolutely no acknowledgement of her privilege as a white woman singing black music. No mention of the black struggle, while consistently riffing off black culture throughout the book. She waxes poetic on her mediocre/underperforming songwriting seemingly unaware it is not her strong suit and likely insisting on doing it unlike a Celine or Whitney, is holding back her career. Her only hits are the ones she didn’t write.
If you are a white woman singing black music without participating in the struggle (speaking out, protesting, and putting your life on the line for black issues none of which I’ve seen her do on social media in any real way), you are not going to find the authenticity required within the genre to flourish. You’re missing the roots. Had Joanna not emulated black women in her speech and wording choices so heavily in this book, I might feel differently, but she did. If that’s the choice, then I want to hear in detail how you show up for black people, and use the opportunity to acknowledge your privilege and lift black culture up. At least in one chapter. I almost wish I’d read instead of listened, because every time she hit a line with an accent I cringed. It’s giving Ariana grande. This is probably totally fine with her friends, but not for the general public.
Overall I’m not really sure what life has taught her thus far, or what the real story was. It lacked an arc, which makes sense granted she didn’t use a professional ghost writer to assist her and writing a great book requires experience. This book screams LA from the matcha meetings to the astrology, to the disconnection. She sounds like probably a nice person, and clearly is a very talented singer but I don’t recommend this book.
