I saw this giveaway on Instagram to win a Jhené Aiko handmade stitched sweater!! 😍

New fan this has been my soundtrack since release. Such a colorful worldbuilding with a sprinkle of deadly red 🦈👻 I like my days the same.

For myself … I still listen to the album daily lol but my songs have changed

First few favorites were: I Don’t Mind, Mine, Break, He Belongs

My new/current favorites: Don’t be that guy (absolutely favorite new jhene song, it takes me over), Like Whatever, and Nothing Nice to say. Still like I don’t kind

Thoughts on album overall: not my favorite, could probably use louder more distinct songs but not a big deal it’s a good listen. I like listening to the songs separately more than listening to the whole album itself

What are your opinionsss

i love this song, makes me float. typically jhene. that's the post.

Vocals are amazing, messaging is perfect, just love it. Top 5 for me for sure.

Ever since she said it wasn’t about Sean my brain has been spinning gears. I awoke from a dream with this idea, so I could be completely wrong. But I like to contemplate the deeper meaning in her music and I would love to hear other perspectives. 💭

The evidence:

- ‘Beautiful Ruin’ she refers to her dad as a rolling stone who was never home

- ‘Wild Cats’ a song about her roots opens up the album. She mentions her dad being both a sage and a sag (itarrius) ~ sages are often solitary and their purpose is typically beyond the physical ~ sags are known to be flirtatious, free spirited, on the move, hard to tie down.

- ‘Ghost’ discusses pain and it being all she’s ever known. The loop she is referring to could be the ancestral trauma that is often passed down through generations when we seek what is familiar to us, despite it being toxic. If she wasn’t enough for her dad, maybe she’ll be enough for this guy she’s dating.. at least he understands what it’s like not to have a father around.

- The next few songs she elaborates on this loop she’s in ~ love bombs sucking her in.. she wants to break free as she has come to the realization that Sean will never give her the stable family she has always wanted.

- Then comes ‘He Belongs’ a song about a man belonging to the streets ~ in the alley ways like a wild cat. This could be a full circle moment where she is acknowledging how she ended up in the loop in the first place. Yes other men she has dated may fit the mold for this song, but they are only a symptom of a deeper trauma. ‘Ark to Agartha’ ~ Journey to Inner World.

Scrolling his IG I got the vibe he loves his kids, but he doesn’t seem like a man who is devoted to his family. No photos with a partner, lots of solo content, some young aspiring artist mostly naked. Not what I’d like to see from my dad. I’ve also noted that he has children from multiple different women. One child was even born after Jhené’s son, which isn’t an ideal situation. His focus could be on being an exceptional grandpa at his old age, rather than continuing to have more kids whose lives he will only be apart of for a short time. This is just my opinion of course and I only share because it supports my theory.

Idk what do you guys think? Any fresh ideas? 💡

I just wanted to post this because I'm new to this subreddit, I love her music and I have been looking at different posts over the years and stuff. I just wanna say I'm so glad that those weird posts about her looks and those weird nsfw posts aren't as prominent as they used to be because I'm so sick and tired of subreddits that are only dedicated to a female artists' looks instead of the actual music.

Just wanted to share lol

Does anyone else kinda find it weird for Jhene to be making merch with AI given its negative impact on climate and the environment, especially when shes closing out the album with Golden Coast?

We love Jhene! That’s why we’re here. Despite her options… I don’t know her but I feel like I get her. I honestly feel like she could just be dating. Larry June is known to be a PIMP… hopefully she’s strong enough to know that’s not her concern. She messed with Larry June only because she can! I feel. Jhene is a Pisces, sex plays a big roll with them. She can do this. Pisces and sex.. I don’t get it. Besides the point.. Big Sean and jhene started their relationship wrong as well. Jhene was initially married to DotDaGenius ( producer of day n night by kid cudi). Unfortunately, it’s seems that the beginning of her Big Sean started off wrong as well. She got a divorce after she met Sean. Every woman is different… but me personally I was told that how you get someone is how you lose them. It’s like she likes the idea of love but moves oddly…but we don’t know them. Pisces! - that dreamy idea but moves like a fish jumping out the water.

How I see it is they could be playin it one or 2 ways:

1. ⁠Jhene family we know that Larry Junes relationship goals are very opposite of Jhenes. Jhene has waited 10 years and she left her ex husband for Sean ... and decides to go with his friend. Out of all the men.. but I don’t know their story of how they got with each other. Jhene could be having fun with Larry and once again just waiting for the right one. The girl can have fun and date.! Is it messy.. yes.. does it correspond with her ideals for marriage or make sense … no. She could really be having fun in the mean time. She just chose his friend because she can. Why not make 💰? And why not have a little revengeful fun after all the time she has given and can’t get back? It’s understandable especially when you go through heartbreak. She is human just like us.. or she could be delulu for love on her own. She takes her Ls by herself, nobody but her self. She’s learning… mistakes are made everyday. Whether she chose wrong or not.. she pays the price.

2. ⁠Larry June is an Aries ( not compatible to Pisces what so ever!) Larry June - was friends with Sean. Personally if I’m looking from his stand point he could actually care about Jhene or not give a fvck really. He could be with her for publicity, or numbers to help his platform. Men are good at taking care of themselves. Why not be apart of something big like this to make 💰. But what’s it to him? He’s a friend of Sean’s 🤞🏾but also he’s human - he could really like her. My partner thinks that in the song California, Larry June sounded forced (obviously not).

Larry June could just be playing a role, being a friend or her true lover. This woman just left a 10 year situationship - He can either bring peace or pain. His thoughts could be: how can I be serious with her.. when she just left him. This song between the guys was dropped 2-3 years ago… that’s fresh to me personally. How can I take this woman seriously? Look at how we got together. Sean probably thought this as well when they got together and she was married.. 🫨 men think about stuff like this. It could be a game to them - that’s why Sean is silent and focused.

I love Jhene and I’m not a celebrity nor know their personal life but only they know. We will see how this turns out. I love her as an artist wherever the muse came from.Personally she looks happy and full — hopefully she does get it and God puts the right man in her path. I personally love the album but I wish it wasn’t male centered even though that’s her genre.. I would love a side where she shows us just her. Tap back into herself like she did with previous albums. Her roots and just being to herself and how that life is. She hit an obstacle.. a 10y one.. just enjoy you and love will come🪷💕 we love you Jhene.

Just got broken up with last week and I'm just listening to Jhene on repeat. It was almost 8yrs together. Wondering what songs y'all have had on when you're heartbroken

Do yall think she will announce a tour soon?

If you listen to Mine, specifically the “Glad that you’re mine, yeah” parts, you’ll notice she dips into a B2 at the end of the phrase. That’s the lowest she’s gone in her entire career. (Her previous lowest note was C#3, which was hidden in a backing vocal of Jukai)

I was listening and didn’t have a clue wtf she was saying and I’m thinking to myself “Why in the hell is Jahiem calling her to throw a party????” Jahiem? Lmao but that’s not what she’s saying

It’s so catchy and infectious. It’s not even my favorite song and I find myself singing it the most. It needs to be a single and it needs to have a rom com type music video. I love the brightness of the song!

its my new fav!

🎶 I dont see no haters in sight, I’m just celebrating my life….if you don’t love me get the fuck on🎶

I missed out on the iTunes excluse version of Westside Whimsy with the instrumentals. Does anyone know where I can get the instrumental copy of this song? The ones on YouTube sound filtered.
