What I Didn't Tell You is the fifth extended play by American singer and actress Coco Jones. It was released on November 4, 2022, by High Standardz and Def Jam Recordings, marking Jones' second major label release since 2013's Made Of (which was released through Hollywood Records). The EP features the singles "Caliber" and "ICU", the latter of which was her first entry on the US Billboard Hot 100.[1]
A deluxe edition of the EP was released on January 20, 2023, featuring 4 bonus tracks, including the previously-released Babyface collaboration "Simple".
Background
In June 2012, Coco Jones played the lead role of Roxie in the Disney Channel television movie, Let It Shine.[2] Starring alongside Tyler James Williams and Trevor Jackson, the movie was the most watched Disney Channel Original Movie and most watched movie of the year for kids and tweens in 2012.[3][4] Jones and the other main cast of Let It Shine performed at the 43rd Annual NAACP Image Awards Nominees Luncheon prior to the movie's release.[5] Around the same time, Jones also signed a record deal with Hollywood Records and released her debut single, "Holla at the DJ" at the end of the year in December 2012.[6] Her extended play Made Of was released on March 12, 2013, and she toured with Mindless Behavior later that year.[7] Jones performed with Mindless Behavior at Radio Disney's Radio Disney Music Awards, and took home an award for "Funniest Celebrity Take." Following the release of the EP, Jones worked in the studio with David Banner, Ester Dean and Jukebox, planning to release her debut album by August 2013.[8]
After leaving Hollywood Records and Disney in early 2014, Jones released multiple singles and EPs as an independent artist between 2014 and 2020, including the EPs Let Me Check It and H.D.W.Y. Jones would also release a new YouTube video in September 2020, in which she talked about her negative experiences in the industry, dealing with colorism. According to her, executives decided she was not marketable enough after featuring in Let It Shine.[9][10]
The next year, in November 2021, Jones was cast in Peacock's The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reimagining Bel-Air, portraying Hilary Banks. The show would eventually premiere in February 2022,[11] and around the time its first season was airing, it was announced that Jones had signed a new artist deal with High Standardz and Def Jam Recordings.[12][13]
