Jhene Aiko releases debut album 'Souled Out'

Jhene Aiko has released her debut album 'Souled Out' via Def Jam/Virgin EMI on Monday. 'To Love & Die' and 'The Pressure' are just two of the tracks on the fourteen-track collection that have been made available so far and give an insight into how beautifully crafted the album is.

Having worked with many artists previously, 'Souled Out' sees only three tracks on the album featuring collaborations, one of which is with her beloved daughter Namiko and reiterates just how much of a personal touch Jhené has been put into the creation of the album.

For many, her previous E.P 'Sail Out' (released in late 2013), was the first time many of us discovered the songbird and her ability to captivate. The content of the release and her unique sound and style, resulted in a number one on the U.S Billboard Chart with her track 'The Worst' and the E.P itself became the biggest selling E.P in Def Jam history.

Jhené 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.

The aura that surrounds Jhené and her music is fascinating, and one which is filled with emotion, soul and spirituality; as the title suggests, 'Souled Out' is set to be the most engaging and exceptional offering to date.
