Launched on December 25, 2017, Aiko dedicated the organization to offering financial support to cancer patients and additional support for their families. She sings practically a cappella about her gratitude for small pleasures on BS, her emotional immediacy (reminiscent of Ariana Grande on Thank U, Next) preventing it from getting saccharine. Aiko has a tattoo with tiny characters on her left wrist that says, 'Why arent you smiling' The Californian singer founded the WAYS Foundation in honor of her late brother.
Chilombo has a similarly large scope, following her journey out of the ruined relationship. The production balances the sacred and the profane: Aiko airs her grievances with a meditative, should-have-known-better sigh, while the production is liquid, mellow and self-possessed.Īiko is no stranger to an ambitious concept project: her 2017 album Trip turned her grief at the death of her brother into a psychedelic odyssey. “You ain’t no friend of mine, motherfucker,” she sings on Triggered “get your bitch-ass off my phone, I am not your girl any more”, on None of Your Concern. Seemingly documenting the bitter dissolution of a relationship, Chilombo also thrives on a less spiritual form of healing: the unvarnished kiss-off. The Def Jam signee penned a moving tribute to her brother and best friend Miyagi, who died from cancer. Pu$$y Fairy (OTW), for example, features a bowl in the key of D, which apparently corresponds with the chakra that governs the sexual organs “to help balance you out in those areas”. on her debut album, Jhené Aiko had to suffer a family tragedy.
She incorporated the vibrational hum of crystal alchemy singing bowls into every track of Chilombo. P rior to recording her third album, Jhené Aiko got immersed in the practice of sound healing. The autobiographical soundscape of Aiko's healing journey follows the loss of her brother, Miyagi Chilombo, to cancer in 2012, and her futile quest to replace that love with romantic relationships.
