Jhené Aiko sailed into the hearts of many this week with the release of her debut album “Souled Out.”

Aiko’s highly anticipated album was finally released Tuesday, Sept. 9 after a number of production setbacks during the past few years.

The 26-year-old hails from Los Angeles and has been garnering up a fan base quickly and quietly over the past few years. Aiko is best known for her appearances on Big Sean’s “Beware” and Drake’s “From Time.” She also opened for Drake on his “Would You Like a Tour?” tour in October 2013, shortly before her EP was released.

Aiko’s debut album includes 12 songs, with two additional on the deluxe version. Blending R&B and hip-hop with traditional pop melodies, the songs feature recurring themes of love, heartbreak and loss – all stemming from events in Aiko’s personal life.

Known for her soothing voice and slow musical melodies, Aiko’s lyrics often question how she could have changed a situation or done better somehow.

The album’s first single is “To Love & Die,” and it is one of the more up tempo, hip-hop influenced songs on the album.

From there, Aiko grows more heartfelt in “Promises,” a song for the brother she lost to brain cancer a few years ago.

You won’t hear this album blaring at parties, but it would be perfect for cruising in the car or chilling out at home.

Aiko’s debut album is worth checking out if you’re interested in peaceful tracks to play after a breakup or while doing some homework.
