Screen Shot 2017-08-30 at 11.16.01 AM

Jhene Aiko enthusiasts have a reason to celebrate with the songstress announcing her forthcoming sophomore album, ‘Trip 17’.

The announcement was made in the September/October 2017 issue of Playboy, where she shared her intentions to release the album. While describing her album, Penny said she’s taking listeners on a trip and compared the album to a map.

“It’s inspired by every type of trip you could imagine: mental, physical, even psychedelic,” explained Aiko. “I’m at a point where I put it all in the music. It’s a puzzle I want people to put together.”

‘Trip 17’ will be Jhene’s first solo album since her 2014 freshman offering, ‘Souled Out’. Aside from her solo album, it is expected that Jhene and her beau, Big Sean will release a follow-up ‘Twenty88’ project. It’s unclear which will come first, but any new music from the beautiful singer is always welcomed.

Just yesterday 2 Chainz shout out a couple of angry tweets about a “#vibekiller” for leaking his newest single “It’s A Vibe” featuring Jhene Aiko, Trey Songz, and Ty Dolla $ign. Chainz drops the official audio for the raunchy single, and it definitely is a vibe.

The leak of “It’s A Vibe” was quickly removed off of SoundCloud yesterday and may be the reason, Chainz also decided to drop “Smartphone” along with it today.

“It’s A Vibe” finds all the contributors getting freaky as they all share explicit lyrics about their sexcapades, which are guaranteed to get the right vibes going.

Both “It’s A Vibe” and “Smartphone” are expected to be on Titty’s forthcoming ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ album, set to be released on April 7th.

Listen to “It’s A Vibe” below via Spotify.

New Video – Jhene Aiko – “Maniac” [WATCH]

Draped in a straight-jacket and Hannibal mask, Jhene Aiko shows how much of a “Maniac” she is as she attempts to escape from an insane asylum in the video for her single “Maniac.”

According to Jhene after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she began to research insane asylums by watching films and enlightening herself about “bizarre techniques that were used back in the day to treat mental patients.” The research she did inspired her to pick the location for this video.

“Ironically, I released ‘Maniac’ at a time where I had recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder,” she said. “So my interest in the research was genuine. I think we all have some sort of imbalance, but I also believe that we can overcome it. I find my balance through creating art. The ‘Maniac’ visual is the story of a mental patient who finds her own cure.”

It is not known where this single will land, but Jhene is working on the follow-up to her 2014 LP ‘Souled Out’.
