Jhené Aiko is the ultimate “my man is not acting right I need to relate to someone” artist. Whatever situation you are going through Jhené has a song for it. Breaking up with your boyfriend? “The Worst”. Bedroom music? “Maniac”. Late night drive? “Sativa”. Her new song “P*$$Y Fairy” is perfect if you are planning to have some fun this Valentine’s Day. The sexually-explicit track describes the ins and out of Aiko’s intimate and seductive relationship with her lover. The song is the latest single from her new highly anticipated project Chilombo, making it her third studio album. The song holds nothing back as she turns the table on her lover and gets what she wants. Alongside the song, the LA-based singer-songwriter released a sultry dance video with a purple haze setting. The song is far from PG, so if you’re planning to listen to it make sure to put the kids to bed first.
Wonderland.
WONDERLIST
Snoh Aalegra has got us in our feels this Valentine’s, and Jhené Aiko gets down and dirty in this week’s Wonderlist.

Mnelia – “Say Yeah”
New kid on the block, Mnelia is capturing our hearts this Valentine’s Day as the north-west London town singer is giving us 90s R&B lovin’ in “Say Yeah”, delivering old school vibes and catchiness. Her silky- smooth voice will have you singing with chest in the shower, (trust me you’ll be wishing you could hit those notes). Not much may be known about Mnelia, but what we do know this girl is someone we need to watch this year.
Brent Faiyaz – “Fuck the World”
Listen to one Brent Fayiaz song and that’s it. You’re hooked. The Grammy-nominated Maryland native has just dropped his new EP “Fuck the World”. Something we all can relate to on a Monday morning. This EP explores his skillset and artistry while paying homage to today’s societal issues, ranging from the state of our society to our social climate. Brent’s sweet melancholic melodies guide you through all 10 songs on the album, but phenomenal standout song “Rehab” sees him falling in love with a drug addict but hiding her demons from the rest of the world. The EP is more than worth a listen and trust me you won’t be skipping any song.
