Albums Jhené Aiko - Chilombo - March 6, 2020

[AAKing23]

Normally I would @ the falling asleep posts but Jhene's voice is mad soothing to me I can definitely see why it would put you to sleep

 

[GoldenGlove]

Sean won

 

[Lurking Class Hero]

I really like the song with John legend and 'smoke'. She's got a nice voice but a lot of this album is dull. Also, call me a prude but I just can't stand the crassness and vulgarity of the new rnb. 2 mics.

 

[CrimsonTider]

I enjoyed Trip waaaaaay better than this album....this is a meh for me!

 

[Yinny]

I really like Tryna Smoke, Surrender, Speak, None of Your Concern, Pssy Fairy and Triggered-finally getting around to listening.

Her voice and vibe on this is a peaceful Sunday early afternoon.

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

I'm just getting around to listening to Chilombo, got roped in a debate two days ago by muhfukkas telling me Jhene the Sade of her era. Which seems high to me, but when you put in context to me that Sade was of the same era as Whitney, Mariah, Janet, Anita Baker, Lisa Fischer, Tina Turner, Miki Howard, Regina Belle, Cheryl Lynn, etc...

You can make the case for and against Sade as Top 5 of her time. And I feel like the same can be said of Jhene for her era...

Her albums aren't iconic, legendary, or on eternal playback status. At the same time, she's hella creative, can ride different production and beats vocally, is a wonderful storyteller/painter of images, etc. She has a place and deserves recognition for it...

I'm not thru Chilombo yet, does feel bloated but it isn't bad. This just dropped on the deluxe and I think she did Summertime justice on this, this joint is smooth:
