Jhene Aiko has addressed her break up with Big Sean a few times and looked for closure but hasn’t really laid it all on the line. Her latest song “Triggered (Freestyle)” might be talking about Sean Don with lines like, I realized that instead of running away from my emotions…I needed to sit with them, express myself and say whatever came to mind.”

Having recently announced a short film that was going to be accompanied by a book of poetry, Jhene Aiko seemed to be gearing up for an album rollout. Instead the beautiful songstress releases her surprise album, ‘Trip’.

‘Trip’ follows Jhene’s 2014 effort, ‘Souled Out’, which she also released with a short film titled “Girls Trip.” Over 22 songs Jhene takes listeners on “epic, psychedelic journey beyond the boundaries of R&B.”

Collaborates include with her beau, Big Sean on “Moments,” John Mayer on “New Balance,” Brandy on “Ascension,” Swae Lee on “Sativa,” the OG Kurupt on “Never Call Me,” TWENTY88 on “OLLA,” her father Dr. Chill, daughter Namiko Love, and others.

Yesterday she dropped her “Map Mission” spoken word, where she detailed the pain she has been going through since the loss of her brother Miyagi’s death in 2012. The death of her sibling has taken her on a ride trying to find herself and rekindle the love and warmth her brother brought to her heart.

“My brother and I were very close. We were only two years apart,” she says in “Map Mission.” “I never thought of him as a separate person, but an extension of myself. He was my reflection. In his presence I was confident and always so sure.”

Next week it is expected Jhene will release her full-length short film to accompany this album. In the meantime stream ‘Trip’ below.
