Why JheneAiko believes her new album, Chilombo, 'is an eruption'
Aiko, who will head out on tour this May, believes the notion of the phrase “none of your concern,” in particular, extends well beyond her love life, saying that self-discovery played a crucial role in the creation of, for which she trekked to Hawaii to record. It was there that she decided to turn her last name into the album title. “ ‘’ is a word that means ‘wild beast’ — they’re strong, confident and grateful,” she says. “Beasts are also beautiful.
She likens herself to the many active volcanoes that surrounded her while she recorded on the Big Island, saying: “In a sense, I am like a volcano, and this album is an eruption. It starts with ‘Triggered,’ and there’s a lava flow with all these songs where it’s a free-flowing jam session. We didn’t settle — and it became this beautiful land where there’s new life.”, Jhené Aiko used sound bowls, commonly known as singing bowls.
[This album] is an introduction to sound bowls for people who don’t really know about them — this is me introducing my newfound love. These bowls are crystal alchemy sound bowls, so they are made from gemstones. Gemstones are fused with things like platinum or made out of rubies and diamonds — and all of these different elements and properties contribute to their healing factors.
There are bowls on every single song on this album. Some of them you can hear more than others, but they are throughout the whole album. Obviously, there’s other instruments, and this isn’t [solely] a healing album — the bowls were just a component I wanted to add because this is something that I’m moving forward with. You’ll see a lot more of me owning this.
I’m still in transition, but I’m still me. I still love to write all types of songs and listen to all types of music, butdefinitely has a lot more acoustic instruments because I wanted it to be music that you can feel. You can hear what the mic was picking up in the room. Everyone was playing actual instruments, [and] those resonate with you differently than digital.is all of my projects that I put out prior to this combined. This is the baby — but it’s the evolved version.
