Jhene Aiko

Happy Wednesday! We have once again made it to the halfway mark in the week and the weekend is fast approaching. So what better way to get over the hump in the week than another "Artist Of The Week"! This week's artist breaks the mold of what a female music artist should sound like and making music that is both seductive, classy, unique and breaking boundaries. It is a lovely female artist who goes by the name Jhene Aiko. Jhene Aiko was born on March 16, 1988 in Los Angeles, California. She started her music career singing vocals on songs for R&B group B2K and appearing in music videos. 2003 she was set to release her debut album titled "My Name Is Jhene" through the Sony music label. The project was never release and she asked to be released from her record deal. In March 2011 she Jhene made her music comeback by releasing her mixtape called "Sailing Souls. This help her to land her record deal with Artium, distributed through Def Jam Recordings in December 2011. In 2013 Jhene her EP called "Sailing Out" that included one of my favorite songs "The Worst" and "Bed Peace". She has this amazing melodic vocal tone that sucks you in. She so far away from the a typical pop princess or diva. I think that is what I love most about her. She is able to bring her sexiness and seductiveness of her lyrics in a subtle way, which makes her unique and special music artist. Jhene's latest album does not disappoint bringing the same style she made us fall in love with from the start but showcases her musical growth as an artist.
