It’s been over two years since Jhené Aiko fans have been able to boast ownership of a new studio album from the 31-year-old, but the wait ended Friday (March 6) with the arrival of her third LP, ‘Chilombo.’ An ode to her family name, the set’s title derives from the singer’s full moniker (Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo).
A 20-track affair, the effort was first brought to public consciousness via the R&B hits “Triggered (freestyle)” and “P*$$y Fairy (OTW)” before treating fans with the Future and Miguel-assisted “Happiness Over Everything.” The latter houses just two of many high profile features on ‘Chilombo’ as it also boasts appearances from boyfriend Big Sean, H.E.R., John Legend, Nas, Ty Dolla $ign, her father, Dr. Chill, and many more.
