Jhene Aiko

I've been listening to A LOT of music lately, but I really wanted to post about Jhene Aiko and her album Sailing Soul(s), because she is an artist a lot of people are not familiar with. To me, this album has it all. Her vocals are soft and elegant, and the way that they are placed over-the-top of the smooth instrumentals creates an easy-listen and enjoyable experience throughout the entire album.Her voice sounds sincere and truthful, especially on tracks like "July (feat. Drake)," "My Mine," and "Stranger." I find that her lyrics are easy to relate to, and due to that, she is very likable. I could see possible comparisons to Rihanna, but Jhene's music is more mellow and less mainstream, in my opinion. She is definitely an artist that you should check out, and Sailing Soul(s) is an album that should be added to your collection.
