Jhené Aiko's highly anticipated fourth album, Westside Whimsy, has finally arrived after more than six years, delighting fans eager to hear what the seven-time Grammy nominee had been working on. The 20-track album, which pays homage to her hometown of Los Angeles, features a star-studded lineup of fellow L.A. natives and friends, including Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Tyga, OHMA, and Larry June.
The album kicks off with the ethereal ballad "Wild Cat(s)," followed by the dreamy "Ghost" and the reflective "Break." Collaborations begin on track four with Ab-Soul's "Love Bomb," showcasing his ad-libs over the song's subtle beat. From there, listeners can expect a mix of midtempo tracks like "Ceiling (Freestyle)" and "Nothing Nice to Say," as well as slow rollers such as "Like, Whatever" and "Neighbors."
The album takes a more introspective turn with "Unicorn," "Nami's Haiku," "A Living Light," and the OHMA-featuring closer "Golden Coast." The latter pays tribute to the resilience of Los Angeles, with Aiko singing, "Shining through your darkest nights/ You still got a lot of light/ You're still a classic/ Magic every time." Westside Whimsy is now available for streaming.
