NEW MUSIC: Jhene Aiko Feat. Brandy ‘Ascension’

Off the heels of her gut-wrenching short film, Trip, Jhene Aiko just dropped her sophomore studio album of the same name. This is the songstress’ first solo album since 2014’s Sailed Out. The surprise sophomore album featured one of Aiko’s idol’s Brandy Norwood on the track, “Ascension.”

Aiko told Billboard.com, “Of all those ’90s heroes, however, it was Brandy who really shaped her influence as an all-encompassing performer. “She has the perfect voice,” she recalls of her early fandom, picking out Never Say Never as her personal favorite record, next to Eminem‘s The Marshall Mathers LP.”
