Jhene Aiko’s latest offering ‘Souled Out’ hit the #1 spot in just under a week on iTunes US and is now sitting at the #3 spot in the R&B chart, it has already entered the UK top 40 album chart. Prior to its release we were treated to the beautiful visuals, directed by Donald Glover, for ‘The Pressure’ which saw huge support across the online world.

Having worked with many artists previously and her releases being relatively feature

heavy, ‘Souled Out’ sees Jhene in her entirety with only 3 tracks on the album being

collaborations, one of which is with her beloved daughter Namiko and reiterates just how much of Jhene has been put in to the creation of the tracks.

For many, her previous E.P ‘Sail Out’, (released in late 2013), was the first discovery of the songbird and her ability to captivate. The content of the release and her unique sound and style, resulted in a number 1 on the U.S Billboard with ‘The Worst’ and the biggest selling E.P in Def Jam history.

Jhene went on to make her first surprise UK appearance in March 2014, to the sheer delight of fans, as she stepped out on stage alongside Drake on the UK leg of ‘Would You Like A Tour’ to perform both her collaboration with Drake, ‘From Time’ and her solo track ‘The Worst’. She returned to the UK recently to perform at V-Festival to an equally elated crowd.
