New single released by Jhené Aiko, “Calm & Patient”

New single released by Jhené Aiko, “Calm & Patient”

The fact that Jhené Aiko is returning to the music scene and has done so in such a graceful manner is testament to their talent. It is with great pleasure to announce that the Grammy-nominated songstress shares her first solo release, “calm & patient,” since having her son Noah, on March 31st. In the new song, she sings about overcoming the struggles in life by looking at the positive side of things as a way to remind ourselves to slow down and appreciate the moments in life:

The manager of Jhené Aiko, Taz, took to his Instagram Story to describe the significance of the release and shared with the world that it marks the beginning of a new chapter. “The era of Jhené Aiko has begun, bringing us back to simpler times of releasing music for the love of it, when we simply did it for the love of it. My apologies to Def Jam and Tea, but this one is meant for the two soulmates who have been through so much together.

The last full-length solo album that the “Stay Ready” singer Jhené Aiko released was Chilombo, which released in 2020. On the 20 track project, you’ll find guest appearances from Ab-Soul, Miguel, Future, John Legend, Nas, H.E.R., Big Sean, Ty Dolla $ign, in addition to averaging 152,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week of release. On the Billboard 200, it debuted at the No. 2 spot with 160 thousand album equivalent units. It was not long after the release of the album that she launched the deluxe version of it, which included nine new tracks.

Miggs and Marcela Recio were behind the accompanying video for the single, “Porsches In Spanish” which paints a very colorful picture of Larry June and Al catching vibes somewhere in Mexico, along with a couple of classic Porsches that quickly steal the show from them. In addition to enjoying fine dining together, the duo can be seen taking a stroll over the water, chatting, and enjoying some time together.

As a preview to The Great Escape, as a follow-up to his 2022 solo debut Spaceships on the Blade, the band offers a complete collection of 20 songs with guest appearances from Curren$y, Babyface Ray, Syd, DUCKWRTH, Herm Lewis, 2 Chainz, and Wallo267.
