Instantly and very personally, her followers responded. A lot of people shared their stories and told the singer how her music helped them to cope emotionally during the hard times. One user stated, “It changed mine too! This project reached me at one of the worst periods of my life, and it really helped me. Thank you Coco.” Another individual, expressing the same sentiment, said, “Coco I don’t know what I would have done without that project!!! You made my whole year and more!!!” The replies show the artist and her audience share a very strong bond that goes beyond the usual fan interaction to the point where they can support each other emotionally.
Although the EP is now three years old, it is still a favorite among listeners. “Oh baby it never left rotation for me,” one user expressed, while another said, “I still play it in the car every day.” The classic status of the EP was further confirmed by comments like “Still got it on my playlist” and “this is still & forever will be in rotation! gonna be spinning my urban outfitters vinyl today.” The words used by the audience are indicative of the long-term allure of the project and its current status in their lives.
While all the songs on the EP were great, some of them got more attention and discussion than others. A few listeners pointed out their favorite songs. “U chewed badly on Caliber,” was one user who gave a specific compliment to Jones regarding that song. Someone else confessed, “crazy for me has and will forever be on repeat,” and another said, “Double back is a favorite!” The prompt and thorough mention of specific songs indicates both the diversity of the EP and the strong personal connection of the listeners to specific tracks.
The anniversary also brought about the reflection of Jones’ artistic journey and growth. “Watching your growth as an artist has been so beautiful to see,” one viewer remarked, appreciating her progress since the release of the EP.

The anniversary also gave rise to some inventive requests from the audience, for example, a listener suggested, “In honor of it you should put the Terrell show version of ‘I put you on’ on streaming services.” Another one wrote in Portuguese, “canta todas no afropunk esse fds, amkr,” which means, “sing them all at Afropunk this weekend, please.” There is a desire for both the favored and fresh take on the beloved material based on what the audience has commented about the requests.
Some of the followers were somewhat surprised by the timing of the anniversary, as their comments: “3 years already? Wow time flies” and “Wow I can’t believe that it been 3 years” indicated how fast Jones’s career has advanced since the release of the EP.
