When Drake's album 'Nothing Was The Same' leaked across the internet, Jhene Aiko became one of the most exciting female vocal discoveries for music lovers the world over. Featuring on stand out track 'From Time', Jhene captivates fans with her effortless, soulful and emotionally charged lyrics and delivery due to their ability to capture the soul within.Although her catalogue of music has already been highlighted in the United States, accumulating a YouTube presence of over 35 million hits in the process, Jhene Aiko has only recently come to light in Britain and prior to her inclusion on 'Nothing Was The Same', the singer songwriter also featured on Big Sean's latest single alongside Lil Wayne, 'Beware'. However, dig a little deeper, remove the layers of commercial charts and mainstream hits and there's an incredible library of music readily available at your fingertips from the beautiful songstress.
Debut mix-tape 'Sailing Souls' was released in 2011 and featured the Hip-Hop heavyweights Drake, Kanye West, Miguel and Kendrick Lamar. Whilst Jhene has a sweet and sensual voice, her choice of lyrics and beats very often take a deeper and more aggressive stance giving her music an empathetic and relatable edge over the fanciful and romantic, something which has had huge appeal to the Hip-Hop crowd she works so closely alongside, aswell as the young no-nonsense generation.
You can rest assured the dainty vocalist will grace UK shores in the very near future to bless us with her ever growing and powerful presence.
