R&B singer Jhené Aiko has the Internet sizzling on her 26th birthday by celebrating the special occasion with the release of her new "My Afternoon Dream."
The Key Wane-produced track bubbled online Sunday (March 16) evening.
It is remarkably subdued for a Key Wane instrumental, which shows the hit producer’s range as he enters into the Los Angeles songstress’s wheelhouse. No word on whether “My Afternoon Dream” will appear on her upcoming debut album, Souled Out, which should be coming out soon. (Complex)
Recently, producer Noah “40” Shebib likened Aiko’s sound to late singer Aaliyah.
Noah “40? Shebib agrees that Jhene Aiko is Drake’s “musical soulmate”, and even went as far as to compare the “From Time” vocalist to Aaliyah. “She has a very beautiful, very unique voice,” complimented the Nothing Was The Same producer. “She’s not a big powerhouse Beyoncé vocalist but she has something like Aaliyah. She has a tone that’s beautiful, recognizable and very much her.” (XXL Mag)
