Sing Jhene

Life, as it usually does after 14, has been zooming pass. Never enough time for this or that, that or this, or even the occasional "fuck it, I'm doing nothing today" mood. In addition to the many writings and creations I've been, well, creating, I've been back to exercising my vocals.

Sometime last year I was prompted by a friend to give an LA local a listen. She goes by the name of Jhene Aiko and her voice is beautiful. Her lyrics are raw and real. And her sense of grace is matched with her down-to-earth/matter-of-factly urban aura. She's hippie flowerchild meets strong city gal, and me likes it. I relate to her lyrics about love, death, and casual sex. It's nice to hear a woman sing so openly about her emotions and sexual desires. 

Below are the two songs I've been attempting to perfect. Currently my two favorite songs to sing.* Sexy, smooth, and honest.
