Jhené Aiko – CHILOMBO

Grammy®-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter Jhené Aiko has released CHILOMBO, her highly-anticipated third album via Def Jam Recordings/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company.

CHILOMBO ADVANCE SINGLES “P*$$Y FAIRY (OTW)”, “NONE OF YOUR CONCERN”, AND RIAA PLATINUM “TRIGGERED” COMBINE FOR OVER HALF A BILLION STREAMS GLOBALLY

CHILOMBO proclaims the artist’s full name, Jhené Aiko Efuru CHILOMBO, as it celebrates her coming into her own personal power. The initial jam sessions where she freestyled the lyrics to each song, took place on The Big Island of Hawaii where Jhené’s great grandmother was born. Jhené was inspired by the beauty and power of the island’s volcanoes, having visited throughout the years. Chilombo means wild beast. The volcano is symbolic of the beautiful, yet powerful beast. Jhené Aiko is Chilombo. In contrast to her 2017 album, Trip, which intricately detailed the process of grieving, CHILOMBO finds Jhené embracing her strength and power, and coming into her confidence as a woman, a creator and a healer. She has always embraced magic in her particular brand of soulful, trippy, ethereal R&B, but now on CHILOMBO she has taken it all to another level.

For years, Jhené has been studying the practice of sound healing. With CHILOMBO, she has incorporated crystal alchemy singing bowls on every track. This form of sound healing has been found to be both physically and mentally healing on the cellular level. Jhené hopes to introduce her fans to sound as a form of healing through what she calls “modern mantra” as illustrated by the “triggered protection mantra.”
