Although some have followed Aiko (her name’s pronounced juh-NAY AHH-ee-ko) for years, many others came aboard more recently, grooving to her hit “The Worst”-a song about a complicated relationship that only fueled anticipation for her first full-length album (released September 9 on Def Jam Records). Then there’s her look, which straddles the borders of her African-American, Japanese and Native American heritage. So much about the 26-year-old artist feels right for the time: Her vocal stylings are a moody mosaic of R&B and hip-hop, built around deeply personal lyrics. Free-spirited Jhené Aiko breezes onstage like a barefoot gypsy, quickly engaging her audience with a quiet mystique.
