Power 105.1’s Angie Martinez welcomed Jhene Aiko to her radio home this week, catching up with the ‘Souled Out’ chanteuse for an interview to promote her forthcoming debut album!
What they discussed?
Motherhood, her sister Mila J and comparisons to ‘Smooth Operator’ performer Sade.
Find out what she had to say on all three, below…
On being compared to Sade: “When people make those comparisons to Sade, I see that. I would never say it myself because people try to kill me if I compare myself to anyone that is that great.”
On rumors she dated Drake and Childish Gambino: “I’m a young lady so if I work with you, that means we went out or whatever or that we love each other? I’m friends with both of them.”
On her sister Mila J: “We don’t work together. It’s weird, but it’s not. I feel like the style of music that I’m doing, where I wanna go, maybe doesn’t meet up with the style that she’s doing or where she is now.”
Want more from the interview?
Press play!
Sade can sing and Sade has range in her voice and her music. I’m sorry Jhene, but Sade you are NOT.
Umm she clearly said she’s not…. Read or Atleast watch the video and not just the header before making a comment. Jhene is amazing in her own right!
It is cheeky to think that there’s even one person who thinks they’re anything alike.
I love your name! Referencing two things I love,
Janet and East Enders!
Vocal-less. I’m tired of these no voice having girls hiding behind their boring ass music and calling it vibey. IT IS THE F*** NOT. IT IS NOT and I’m so happy the real vocalists like Tamar are around to show people how it’s done.
Which Tamar are you talking about? Cos I know it can’t be Tamar Braxton. If it is then let me tell you that you’re mistaken because Tamar has NEVER given us a good vocal performance EVER. Remember when they had to override her vocals on Arsenio for her show because they sounded so bad? Yeah, I thought so.
Tamar is a s***** singer tho
Beyonce lip synchs, Tamar always sings live.
Jhene is more of a poet than a vocalist. Bey is great but some people actually appreciates a lyricist.
She’s comparing herself to Sade, nobody else is… I read an interview where she was comparing herself to sade, they are nothing alike.
Then she’s just as delusional as Mariah.
She didn’t…. Angie did. Smdh
She’s been comparing herself to Sade in other past interviews
She has never. Up until now she’s only responded to Drake comparisons
Lol girl you’ll never be a “Sade”
What was the Mila shade about?! Genie or Jhene? however her name is pronounced…needs a piece of humble pie. Stop listening to yes men, you are NOT even close to Sade. More like a watered down Drake. I still remember the hot97 appearance, can’t even call that a performance. What’s up with the lame interviews that Angie is doing at Power?! Time to pack up and go back to Hot97.
WATCH THE INTERVIEW….. Lmao just so dumb. Lord help your children!
Id say more like cassie nt sade.d gal can never sing al she do is pillow talk her way through all her album
She must be talking about my friend Sade from down the street because it ain’t the one who sings “No Ordinary Love” *pulls out pen and starts writing “Delusions or a Tragic Place”
HA! Just spit up my drink, lol.
Furthermore I don’t think Drake or Jhene is alike. In her mixtape days maybe but now her sound is more of her own…… I’m such a Stan!
Clearly yall didn’t watch the interview, smh.
The level of stupidity from you guys saying shes comparing herself to sade when she clearly said she see’s why ppl say it but she’s not saying it there’s room for more stan out but don’t be ignorant
