Beautiful songstress Jhene Aiko dropped her mixtape entitled Sailing Souls on her birthday March 16th. For those who aren't familiar with Jhene, she may be recognized from the B2K era, being featured in their videos; as well as having her own song and video for the 2001 hit No L.O.V.E, while being part of the then popular T.U.G Ent. Since then she has had underground hits such as Wait No More and the summer hit July featuring rapper Drake.
This mixtape showcases her smooth melodic voice as well as her laid back "hippie" style, in these r&b and neo-soul reminiscent tunes. Tracks such as H.O.E. featuring singer Miguel showcase her now grown up demeanor, much different from her former teenie songs.
Overall, Sailing Souls showcases Jhene's pure talent through this independent project. Having features from artists such as Drake and Kanye is sure to draw attention and produce more mainstream exposure for the singer; though her die hard fans will agree that whatever she produces is gold.
