Sail Out - Jhené Aiko
Sail Out

The full lyrics to Jhene’s EP were released by her, and you can see them here. Jhene described the album cover: I wanted to keep the theme along with the mixtape and I actually saw a picture of this woman walking towards boats – but it wasn’t as hopeless looking it was a pretty picture — and I just wanted to do that. I really feel like it’s a symbol of me walking into a scary world fearlessly and just having faith and going with the flow and not being afraid basically. She also talked about the concept of the EP and how it relates to her last mixtape Sailing Soul(s) and her upcoming album Souled Out: Well, “Sail Out” is basically like a continuation of “Sailing Soul(s)” the mixtape. And the whole idea of “sailing” is like a play on words, “selling” and “sailing.” It’s like the complete opposite of “selling” yourself for money and fame. To me, “sailing” is going with the wind and being free and not really having a price, sticking to who you are and going with your own flow, which I’d like to think that I do. So “Sail Out” is 7 songs that I really feel like are introduction songs to the people who are just now getting familiar with me and that are more familiar with my feature work. Kendrick Lamar is on there, Ab-Soul, Childish Gambino, Vince Staples. And I think people are used to hearing me with the rappers, so that’s why I wanted to put out this project, to give them more of that but on my terms, just a prelude before the full-length album [“Souled Out”] that I’ll be putting out.
