Days after roasting her boyfriend Big Sean on the sixth anniversary of his fan-favorite album Dark Sky Paradise, Jhené Aiko returns with some new music of her own. A week ahead of the release of Disney’s next animated film Raya and the Last Dragon, the Chilombo artist has released “Lead The Way,” the album opener for the upcoming movie’s soundtrack.
Jhené’s contribution to Raya and the Last Dragon‘s original motion picture soundtrack is a heartfelt song about the importance of following one’s heart. “Lead The Way” is packed with themes such as trust, family, love, and perseverance, and the bright, lush production is the perfect soundscape for this inspirational effort. Despite it being one of the biggest songs on the soundtrack for a kid’s movie, “Lead The Way” is still an impressive release from Jhené that isn’t too far off from her own musical output.
Does Jhené Aiko’s new song make you want to check out Raya and the Last Dragon when it hits theatres and Disney Plus next Friday?
Quotable Lyrics
When you’re broken, open up your heart and feel
There’s no difference, we’re all family here
It’s ’bout all of our doubts, all our up and downs
There is never really anything to fear
