Jhene Aiko teased us with a new album leak last month, "Pressure", and ever since we've been waiting on any sort of update when it comes to the album it's off, Souled Out. Although it was reported in June that the album was slated to drop on August 25th, it looks like that date has not stuck, and Def Jam has announced a new release date alongside the official album artwork today.
You can expect Jhene Aiko's Souled Out to arrive in time for the Fall, with a release date of September 9th. This works out well as fans will be able to see Jhene perform album cuts live following the project's release, when she's on the road with The Weeknd and ScHoolboy Q for "King Of The Fall" tour.
The artwork shows Jhene's body rising up through the clouds and the water, with a beam of light shining down on her.
