Jhene Aiko Receives Helpful “Guidance” In A Relationship Thats Run Its Course

by

Jhene Aiko possesses some of the most effortlessly soothing and stunning vocal chops of anyone in the R&B/soul genre. Sadly, though, the Los Angeles, California native has not been gracing us with her talents that much over the last few years. Her last studio album, Chilombo, dropped all the way back in 2020. However, if you want, you can count the rerelease of her 2011 debut mixtape Sailing Soul(s) in 2021. Or you could mention the fact that she put together a sleeping soundtrack for babies in 2022. As far as singles go, Aiko has more to offer in that department. In fact, her most recent is “Sun/Son” from January. This has us more and more hopeful that she is nearing a new album. Also helping that is this new Jhene Aiko single, “guidance”.

It comes in the midst of The Magic Hour Tour, with openers including Coi Leray, Tink, Umi, and Kiana Lede. Jhene Aiko is approximately halfway through, as today she will be performing in her hometown. She will wrap things up on August 22 in Columbus, Ohio, so maybe around then a new LP will be upon us. In the meantime, what does “guidance” have to offer. To be honest, it delivers and then some. On this 3:36-long record, Jhene is feeling free after finding the courage to move on from a relationship that is weighing on her. The track’s instrumental is so captivating that she decided to give fans a piano version, just like how she did with “Sun/Son”. Be sure to give each version a spin with the links below.

“Guidance”- Jhene Aiko

Quotable Lyrics:

And you’re not enough for you
It’s nobody’s fault, it’s nobody’s loss
Just had a lot to learn
You were the match that lit up my path
To show me what bridge to burn

Jhené Aiko Searches For ‘Guidance’ On Her Gentle New Song, Which She Shared In Two Different Versions

by

Jhené Aiko has taken to an interesting release strategy for her new songs lately. In January, she released two versions of “Sun/Son,” including a stripped-down, piano ballad edition alongside the original. She continues the trend on her new song, “Guidance,” another gentle ballad that finds the LA singer recognizing, “I got a lot of God in me, and I can stand alone.” In addition to the original, which features a soft beat defined by an acoustic guitar loop, there’s also a piano version, which you can check out below.

It would actually be very cool to see Jhené release her next project in two versions — like a “buy one, get one” sale for music.

While fans await news of this project, Aiko also released videos for Chilombo singles “Surrender” and “Love,” which she filmed to accompany the album four years ago but withheld as a result of the pandemic shutdowns.

The singer is currently playing songs from that album — as well as fan favorites from Sailing Soul(s) and more — on her Magic Hour Tour with fellow hip-hop-influenced soul singers Kiana Ledé and Tink, and rapper Coi Leray. However, despite the peaceful lineup, the tour hasn’t been without some discord, as seen at the recent Atlanta stop. You can recenter, though, by listening to “Guidance” above.

Jhené Aiko Fans Apparently Overlooked Her Peaceful Messages, Starting A Brawl At Her Atlanta Show

Sometimes, it’s easy to assume that a recording artist’s fans are a reflection of that artist. Trap rappers appeal to real-life hustlers, conscious rappers attract the crunchy granola crowd, Taylor Swift fans are VERY dramatic. But sometimes, an artist’s image just doesn’t appear to match the attendance at their shows.

For instance, Jhené Aiko’s show on The Magic Hour Tour is a lot like her performance at Coachella; there’s a lot of breath work, guided meditation, and sound bowls, as Aiko sings her soothing mantras. However, at the tour stop in Atlanta, fans apparently overlooked all that, opting to settle their problems the old-fashioned way: with a brawl in the lobby.

Now, getting dressed up in your finest just to stomp somebody out is crazy enough, but doing so after Jhené Aiko sings about healing from trauma and teaches the crowd semi-advanced yoga is wildly incongruous behavior for the circumstances, as pretty much everybody on Twitter pointed out:

However, as others noted, it might not have been as inconsistent with Aiko’s music as it seems. After all, the Los Angeles-born singer is equally as likely to shout, “Slauson, hoe!” on her records or break out into spontaneous bursts of C-walking. So yeah… maybe they got a little too turnt to “Post To Be” and returned to the pre-work personality.

The Magic Hour Tour takes a two-week break after this, then picks back up on August 1 in Phoenix, so maybe everyone can use this time to realign their chakras.

Big Sean And Jhene Aiko Treat Fans To Romantic Coachella Performance

by

Big Sean and Jhene Aiko have chemistry. Anybody who has seen the two artists perform, or listened to their joint album, Twenty88, can attest to this. Both have lessened their output in recent years, but Aiko’s recent Coachella performance was a reminder of how charming they can be when performing alongside one another. Aiko’s weekend set was loaded with guests, including Omarion and Saweetie, but the real highlight was when Big Sean popped up to perform the 2013 single “Beware.”

Both Sean and Jhene were in top form as they traded verses. The part that really hit audience members in the feels, however, was during the song’s outro. The instrumental slowed down, and the artists looked into each other’s eyes while singing in unison. Aiko can be seen laughing near the eight-second mark of the accompanying video. The crowd helped them shout the chorus, and the two hugged and kissed as soon as the song ended. Big Sean gave Jhene Aiko a pat on the butt as he left the stage, and the latter urged the crowd to cheer on the father of her son, Noah. It doesn’t get more wholesome during a Coachella set.

“Beware” was a fitting choice for Big Sean and Jhene Aiko’s lone Coachella performance. It was the first collaboration between the two artists, and would eventually be certified three times platinum. They have since gone on to record several collabs, including “Moments” (2017) and “Body Language” (2020). Aiko told Elle that she and Big Sean have very different approaches to making music, but she feels they bring the best out of each other. “I work on songs little by little, and he doesn’t,” she explained. “He’ll finish a song in one night. It motivates me. I’m never mad at it because it does help me be more productive. It’s always a good time, though, because we’re always just being silly and making jokes.”

Despite having an infant son at home, Big Sean and Jhene Aiko have big career plans for 2024. Sean will release a book titled Go Higher on October 8, and he released his latest single, “Precision,” on March 22. Aiko doesn’t have a solid release date for her next project, but the tentatively titled JA4 is also theorized to drop this year. Both have credited parenthood with redefining their approach to art. “It’s funny how [kids] end up being the teachers,” Sean told People Magazine. “Even though you’re there to guide and teach them, they teach you. That’s something I really appreciate.”
