WinterRun Posted May 7, 2023 Posted May 7, 2023 Thought this was pretty cool from the Lovers and Friends festival yesterday.
WinterRun Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 I was shocked when I saw this, but not surprised. She didn't take much of a break after having her son and was even saying on stage recently how tired she was. I thought it was kind of strange that she hadn't really promoted these NJ shows and that she didn't acknowledge the presale going on today for her arena show in August. Hope she really takes this time for herself. @EarStyle Thoughts?

I may go to the Newark show to still see Jazmine. im all for her taking her time. Like I thought we probably won’t be getting an album until 2024 which I’m totally fine with.

I feel like she took too long of a break.

I was surprised when she announced the shows in the first place, considering they were on the East Coast and 2 weeks apart. Good thing you were able to sell your tickets for the first show. I agree about her taking her time. She's gone about 3 years between each major project, so I think she will be fine waiting another year to release.
EarStyle Posted July 14, 2023 Author Posted July 14, 2023 Random, but why is "Sativa" #150 on Apple Music right now? Is this going viral on Tik Tok or something?
WinterRun Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 https://www.instagram.com/p/CvdbuwDv_7Y/ Randomly came across this video of Jhene rehearsing for her arena show on August 5. I can't make out everything she's singing, but possibly an unreleased song? @EarStyle @KING ACE

KING ACE Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 There's a Creative Director jhene works with (luckiepov on IG), he hinted at a tour.......i think a new era is upon us! @EarStyle @WinterRun

Folks were upset about the canceled Chilombo tour + cancelled Jersey shows and she said she can only do shows near Cali for the baby’s health etc at the time and she would consider a tour once the baby is done breast feeding. Sean also kind of hinted to a tour on stage with Jhene this past weekend. Maybe a Twenty88 album/tour next year, but probably won’t be any time soon.

I was a little surprised since Jhene herself has basically said that there won't be a tour until her new baby is older. But the visuals from her show this past weekend are stunning, so I'm sure a tour will be worth the wait. 8 hours ago, EarStyle said: She put in the comments for the show’s promo that a tour won’t be coming until after the baby is done breast feeding.

I also saw that Big Sean mentioned a potential tour with the two of them, but it looks like he's getting ready to release new solo music himself soon. For what it's worth, Jhene pinned a comment on IG about her album coming next year.

WinterRun Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Playing Sundays at Coachella this year. I remember seeing a comment somewhere that her recent arena concerts were likely setting her up for a spot at Coachella and was a bit skeptical, but seems like that person was right.
EarStyle Posted February 2 Author Posted February 2 Either we will get a new album this year or it'll be a year like the Pre-Chilombo year. A couple of singles a la "Triggered & NOYC" along with some features and then album next year.
WinterRun Posted February 5 Posted February 5 She’s added #iambuildinganARK to her Instagram bio (again?). I completely forgot about that whole ARK thing. Still don’t know what it stands for. I’m not really sure what to expect from her this year. I would hope that she plans to release something around the time of Coachella so she can start building some momentum for her album or whatever projects she has in the works. It looks like she’s partnered with a new creative agency, which should be good. I’m kind of hoping for her to start working with new people (producers, writers, directors, stylists... management ). I think she could use some new energy.
oshyms Posted February 5 Posted February 5 (edited) revisiting trip a lot recently, a lot of tracks on it and souled out evoke such a happy nostalgia for me the run from never call me -> nobody -> overstimulated on trip is something else. that album is so slept on imo Edited February 5 by oshyms
WinterRun Posted February 9 Posted February 9 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3De89qRJUe/ New snippet posted to one of her other Instagram accounts.
WinterRun Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3O-8MvrCVX/ Another snippet of the same song. I'm pretty disappointed with the sound of her last 3-4 released songs. They all sound the same or are very similar in production and lyrical content. Like, it's become so predictable that when I heard the first snippet, I bet myself that she would mention a particular topic, and she actually did in the second snippet. The thing that's getting me, is that she’s done songs with similar subject matter in the past, but in so much more interesting ways. And I feel like what she’s been putting out lately sounds so forced and inauthentic. I don’t know if it’s because she feels like she has to put new music out, doesn’t have anything else to talk about (or that she wants to publicly talk about), or that she’s too musically isolated and needs to work with other writers and producers, but something seems off. I don’t see why we now have 3-4 songs that are basically the same. Her voice sounds better than it ever has, but at this point, you can pull out a checklist for everything she’s released recently: piano/guitar driven production, lyrics about God or her son, and layered background vocals with some (out of place) runs thrown in. I get that she doesn’t like to work with many writers and producers, but if she’s going to go in the gospel-ish leaning direction, I think she needs outside help. Like, Mali Music, who she’s worked with before, is right there. I never subscribed to the criticism that all of her music sounds the same, because it doesn’t. But this new direction she’s going in isn’t it to me. She can do better and we’ve heard better from her. I think that’s the end of my rant. Lol. Edited February 12 by WinterRun

Yeah she teased this last year with her post to help a family during the holidays. Agreed. Calm + Patient is the strongest of this new bunch, but yes hopefully these are all ideas of the same vein that she will release and then the album (whenever that comes) is diff.

I didn't even recognize it was the song from the holiday post. I've been listening to these songs and snippets only once or twice, and not going back to them. I hope she does move on from this approach/sound (quickly) and gets to her full album material, but I have serious doubts. The fact that "Sun/Son" had some semblance of a push behind it really stunned me.

In my head these are the maniacs, bs + hs, snapped, wasted loves (even tho this song is a 10/10) before the real material is delivered.
