Jhené Aiko And Ab Soul Bring A Different Energy To “Love Bomb”

Jhené Aiko brings Ab Soul into the mix on “Love Bomb,” one of the tracks from her new album Westside Whimsy. While Ab Soul does not take on a full verse, his background vocals and ad libs add a familiar touch to the record. His presence works well alongside Aiko’s more relaxed performance.

Aiko also steps outside the usual R&B sound fans may expect from her, keeping her voice in a lower range and leaning more into a rap style. The production gives her room to experiment while keeping the song smooth and easy to follow. “Love Bomb” is another example of the different sounds Aiko explores throughout Westside Whimsy.
