Editor's note

Jhené Aiko's quiet R&B and personal themes

A Los Angeles singer who built her audience through mixtapes before breaking through with the 2013 EP 'Sail Out.'

For a good frame, try 'Bed Peace' from that 'Sail Out' EP. Or 'Hello Ego' with Chris Brown for something more recent.

She grew up listening to Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu, and you can hear that lineage in her approach. Songs like 'Sativa' and 'B.S.' show her style of R&B that leans toward introspection. Her work with Kendrick Lamar and Big Sean places her in that West Coast conversation.

Her early career had a false start when she signed with Def Jam as a teenager. She built her audience through mixtapes before breaking through with 'Sail Out' in 2013, then released albums like 'Souled Out,' 'Trip,' and 'Chilombo.'
