I'm looking forward to the album. I wasn't really getting the hype at first, but she has grown on me immensely. She writes good melodies and has some clever lyricism.

She told Rap Up that the only feature is her daughter on a song called Promises.
Kind of disappointed, her features are usually dope.

I'd be interested in hearing a collaboration between her and Chirs Martin. On another note, does anyone think she has a chance at getting a Best New Artist Grammy nom?

Love it. I think I like that more than the single. So smooth and sexy for summer.

"The Pressure" is now on iTunes. I've seen some sources claim that it's a single. I wonder if they're switching it? I don't like how they're handling this release at all. The album should have been out weeks ago. But it's apparently been pushed back to September. On another note, here she is singing a few songs acoustically:

Love Jhene. The Pressure is much better than the current single. Can't wait for the new album. I think she would deserve a best new artist nod.

'The Pressure' is catchier, it should have been the single.

Why did they wait so long to release the album?

She sounds amazing in that acoustic video.
I've seen her live before and she was good but she must get nervous in front of crowds or have difficulty moving around or something because in that video, she sounds the same as she does on those records. Usually she sounds a little deeper and less controlled.

Despite a downpour not seen since the days of the Old Testament, she did a good job at Lolla. Some douchebag with my friend was like "oh, so is this next song going to be about getting high and fucking too?" Anyway, my complaint was her voice was slightly different live - like, higher/more nasal. She also seemed to be off-key for the whole show but the band was on point (a little too loud at times) and her whole vibe and energy was cool, especially given the terrible weather. People legit stayed and suffered through it just to see her though, so good for her!

She is being DRAGGED across social media for tweeting some "we are the world, we all bleed red, love and peace are the best forms of opposition" bulls**t, which given the timing many are associating with the murder of Mike Brown. She's also been tweeting Gandhi quotes and when someone told her that there is a pretty well documented history of Gandhi being openly racist against black people, she ignored it.
I love Jhene's music but, like SZA, I am not at all surprised by her apparent views towards this situation and towards the criminalization of black bodies in the US. She just doesn't seem like the type to really "get it."

Between her latest tweets and the other ignorant tweets a couple months back when she was being dragged for her awful set at Summer Jam, I'm just going to ignore her and hope the music is good.

New snippet: http://instagram.com/p/rvmHWZD31H I just realized...if they were going to release this album without a single anyway, then they could have released it months ago at the peak of her hype. It's been done since early this year.
