Rounding off the rounding up of ish doing the rounds…
More Post-Drake-step (tipping hat to Speeakz for that coinage) style sonics on this – but effeminized of course. Aww. For what it’s worth though, production is this tapes strongest asset (bar the awfully corny sounding ‘Popular’ that doesn’t fit… deleted off my iTunes).
Featuring collaborations with Miguel (and his frequent producer Fisticuffs), Drake and Kendrick Lemar, .sailing soul(s). is an above-average R&B mixtape-album. Stylistically, Aiko doesn’t provide anything exceptional (inevitable Cassie comparisons), but delivers some fine, honeyed melodies that are easy on the ear to accompany her girl angst fluff. An enjoyable enough debut bolstered by some fat soundbeds of, erm, emosh. Let’s see how this lady does.
Below is a stream of her single, titled ‘Hoe’, with assistance from Miguel.
