Jhené Aiko has spent the six years since Chilombo navigating setbacks and false starts. “It’s like every time I tried to lock in, life knocked me on my ass,” she said ahead of Westside Whimsy, a suite of mellifluous odes to her Los Angeles hometown. To mark the occasion, the R&B singer enlisted a slate of trusted pals and L.A. royals—plus Tyga—to join her in an itinerary of languid ballads, jazz-bar jaunts, and pensive, acrobatic monologues that flow like waterfalls but roil beneath with whitewater intensity. Longtime collaborator Kendrick Lamar returns with a verse on “So Good,” and Larry June and Ab-Soul are among the other guests.

Alex G: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (Original Score)[Waxwork]
Alex G has a knack for conjuring the strange, dreamy, and frightening worlds director Jane Schoenbrun has become known for. His soundtrack to her new film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, in which a young director rebooting a famed horror franchise connects with its aging former star, is another testament to the the pair’s like minds. Tapping the Blue Nile’s Paul Buchanan for a new original song and sprinkling in tracks from R.E.M., Donna Lewis, Counting Crows, and more, Alex G invites you to stay a while at a place you’re not likely to soon forget.
