MyJukebox: Jhené Aiko - Sailing Soul(s) [2011]

Jhené Aiko
"Sailing Soul(s)"
[2011]


Tenho andado a ouvir com mais atenção (no momento) o género R&B/Soul, e um dos sub-géneros que me encanta é o chamado neo-soul. Na verdade, considero-o mais como neo-R&B, e este trabalho de Jhené Aiko apresenta-se numa toada downtempo muito sensual, charmoso por vezes, intrigante noutras, intimista quase sempre e polvilhado de muito hip-hop. Os arranjos sonoros são duma electrónica calma de aparente simplicidade e os convidados que neste álbum colaboram são interessantes, passando por Drake, Kanye West, H.O.P.E. ou Gucci Mane entre vários e não deixa de ser uma proposta curiosa.

A destacar faixas como (a excelente) "Stranger", "July" (ft. Drake), "My Mine", "Sailing, Not Selling" (ft. Kanye West), "Do Better Blues" (ft. H.O.P.E.), "Space Jam" ou a "You vs. Them" (chill-out em regime quase épico).

Para quem quiser descobrir outros sons menos populares, recomendo.

"Stranger" lyrics:

Yea yea , ah
Similar ways, similar game
starting to feel the similar pain
are you sure we haven't met before?
I know ya face, i know ya name
but I don't know you?
isn't that crazy? isn't that crazy?
i think we may be
In a different book
on a different page
you said you are different
but you're the same
stranger.

i can not tell you,
how many there have been
that were just like you
i do not need you
cause you're just like them.

i meet em' everyday..
they...all seem to be the same.
lame. okay?

i meet em' everyday..
[ohhh ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh]
they...all seem to be the same.
it's strange.

ah.

Familiar time, familiar place
starting to feel the familiar shame
cause i know what you have come here for.
you know my name, you know my face,
but you don't know me? you must be crazy.

Ive been here times before and

Didn't I tell you what all the rest have done?
they were just like you, they have all tried to.
you're not the only one.

I meet em' everyday..

[they are all the same they are all the same]

I think we may be
In a different book
on a different page
you said you are different
but you're the same
stranger.
