According to Voice Mail member Craig Jackson, This album is so hot. The fans are going to be surprised by the material on the album. I think its our best album to date, Jackson opined.

The 16 track disc will feature collaborations with producers Christopher Birch, Steven McGregor, Danny Champagnie and the Ballaz.

Missing from this album will be the signature Voice Mail dance tunes. There wont be any dance songs on the album. Were trying different things so you can look out for a bit of R&B, dancehall, reggae, and a little bit of techno, said Jackson.

While the album is scheduled for European release on July 16, a stateside release is currently being negotiated.

The members of Voice Mail recently completed a photo shoot for the Jump Off album in Tokyo, Japan.
