Jhené is a master of soul.

Jhené Aiko is an artist who takes time in between each release. It is a double-edged sword because she is ultra-talented and we always want to hear her more often. The 35-year-old soulful balladeer has not dropped a full-length in nearly four years. Her last effort was Chilombo, a project that featured the likes of H.E.R., Ab-Soul, Nas, Ty Dolla $ign, and more.

Even on the single front, Jhené has remained fairly quiet. The last release came in May with "alive & well (gratitude)." Then, about a month and a half before that was "calm & patient." Hopefully, those two outputs last year are signs of a project coming in 2024. We say that because Jhené is back to start of the year with a bang.

Quotable Lyrics:

Waited awhile, don't know where you was (Where you was)
I prayed out loud and then there you were
Made for the veil, you're the way, the one (Way, the one)
No doubt about it, you charge me up, you chargе me up (Sun son, sun son)
My solar power, I'm so in love (Sun son, sun son)
You chargе me up, you charge me up (Sun son, sun son)
