Jhené Aiko proves why she is one of the biggest names in female R&B right now. Just a few days before its release, the singer announced out of nowhere that she was releasing her fourth studio album. Without a single leading up to the release, we received a whopping twenty never-before-heard tracks on Westside Whimsy. Whoever doubted the singer can put some respect on her name. The bold move led to her first Billboard number one album of her career. On top of that, it’s the first female R&B album to reach the number one spot in 2026.

We can’t stop listening to the Kendrick Lamar feature on the project. It marks the first direct collaboration between Aiko and Lamar in over a decade and their third collaboration to date. ‘So Good’ is a midtempo duet exploring mutual devotion and romantic attraction. The track has that warm, late-’90s synthesizer feeling with a relaxed rhythm. Around the 2:30 mark, Kendrick takes the opportunity to turn the production into a more hip-hop-leaning sound as he delivers his funky rap. The two once again prove to be a magical duo.
