Jhené Aiko – Westside Whimsy  (ArtClub International / Def Jam Recordings) Jhené Aiko makes her long-awaited return with Westside Whimsy, a project that leans heavily into 90s West Coast nostalgia while staying grounded in her signature ethereal R&B. The album moves with a laid-back, sun-drenched ease, balancing smooth, surf-culture-inspired backdrops with intimate songwriting about romance, growth, and personal evolution.

Ladies First

Ladies First: Blessing Jolie

Courtesy of Artist Blessing Jolie is the kind of artist who makes growing up feel worth documenting — not because she has all the answers, but because she is unafraid to sit with the questions. The Nigerian-American singer-songwriter and guitarist raised in Katy, Texas, has built her music around the messy, funny, painful and often confusing process of figuring out who you are in your 20s. Her songs — including those on debut album 20nothing — are deeply personal without feeling distant and turn […]

NEW MUSIC MONDAYS: Busta Rhymes & J Dilla, Erykah Badu & The Alchemist, Dahi, Alabama Shakes, Fat Joe, Prince and more….

Erykah Badu & The Alchemist – Before The World Blows (Control FREAQ Records / Young Recordings) When one of the undisputed queens of soul links with rap's most prolific underground architect, the result is pure hypnotic alchemy. Erykah Badu’s cosmic, free-floating vocal runs nestle perfectly into The Alchemist’s crackling, loop-heavy soundscapes. The mood is dark, hazy, and undeniably smooth, blending psych-rock samples with deep, resonant basslines that hold your attention from start to finish. Badu sounds remarkably revitalized, effortlessly gliding […]

THE INTERVIEW with JALEN NGONDA

When Jalen Ngonda logged into his recent interview with HYFIN Music Director Anthony Foster, he was hiding out indoors, battling an uncharacteristic UK heatwave. But heatwaves aside, the Maryland-born, London-based soul powerhouse has been on a serious roll.
