Coco Jones returns to Genius, this time performing her latest hit, “Here We Go.” The ballad captures the struggle of moving on from an ex-lover who keeps pulling you back just as you start to move forward. Produced by Cardiak and WU10, the track was recently nominated for two Grammys: Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance. On today’s episode of OPEN MIC, Coco’s powerful vocals bring the song’s raw emotion to life.
