This exclusive Apple Music playlist curated by Jhené Aiko herself carries a calm and relaxing energy that will rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit. From the smooth, meditative “Triggered (freestyle)” to the harp-led downbeats of “Born Tired”, both from her 2020 LP Chilombo and featured here, the R&B singer-songwriter sets a warm, inviting mood very much inspired by that album’s soul-searching escape to the Big Island of Hawaii. “I started to really look within myself and dig deeper into my roots,” Aiko tells Apple Music. “My great-grandmother was born there and her mother was born in Hilo. I feel like, because of the volcanic activity, it’s literally new land. You feel this sense of hope, growth and evolution.” Artists on the playlist besides Aiko include Anita Baker, D’Angelo, John Mayer and Frank Ocean, represented here with his Blonde track “Self Control”. “I'm a big fan, big fan of Frank,” Aiko says. “Everyone pretty much got tired of me playing Blonde. It's definitely one of my all-time favourites.”
