Every time Jhené Aiko graces us with new music, it’s a moment to be cherished. Her work is anything but basic, she’s selective about her collaborations, and she often imparts wisdom through her songs. It’s important to recognize that crafting quality music is a process that takes time.
Considering the information from the previous paragraph, it’s evident that Jhené has been relatively reserved with her releases over the past three years. In both 2022 and 2023, she only dropped two singles, and her last significant project was Chilombo in 2020. There might be indications that she’s gearing up for a significant release in 2024. The optimism stems from her recent drop, a fantastic new single titled “Sun/Son.”
My therapist, who’s actually a dude from the hood with a little therapist hat, advised me to enrich my mind with positive, invigorating music. “Sun/Son” perfectly fits the bill. The song exudes purity, featuring gentle vocals, a pristine and atmospheric instrumental, and delightful melodies. In her verses, Jhené Aiko lyrically expresses being in love with someone who energizes her and brings out the best version of herself. Personally, I find every aspect of the song beautiful.
This song just made my hangover feel so much better.
