Souled Out, Jhene Aiko, LP

Vinyl LP. Examining enlightenment in the wake of heartbreak, relationships and personal challenges, Jhene Aiko delivers a sparkling R&B album that is influenced by old skool R&B, psychedelia and hip-hop. Some electronica is thrown in for good measure. It is a mix that works well on 2014's "Souled Out" because it debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at #3! The singles "To Love & Die," "The Pressure" and "Wading" all helped to promote the album, which was produced by No I.D. "To Love & Die" features a guest spot for the artist Cocaine 80s, and the rapper Common contributes to "Pretty Bird." A veteran of the R&B scene, this original double LP pressing is Aiko's debut as a solo artist. Def Jam Records.
