![]() ![]() Chilombo slipped past me upon initial release around the time it dropped I was focused on Doja Cat and Niall Horan and the anniversary of *NSYNC’s No Strings Attached. The album debuted with a highly impressive 152,000 equivalent album units and 38,000 in sales - good enough for #1 in many weeks, but Aiko finished second behind Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake. It’s a self-titled project of sorts, named for her surname (her full name is Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo). She’s one of her generation’s defining R&B singers and maybe the single most underrated star in music today.Īiko released Chilombo, her third album, back in March. Yet Aiko, 32, has spent the past decade quietly building up a sterling catalog with a subtly massive influence. She’s never had a #1 album or a top 10 single, and no militant stan army has mobilized in her name to beat back online dissent. You wouldn’t necessarily know it because Aiko has always been a moody and understated presence - someone who lays back in the cut letting you come to her rather than making herself inescapable. ![]()
