You will find yourself playing this EP over and over.

Sail Out's a great name for this release - it's certainly smooth sailing from this Angeleno with a sugar-sweet voice.

Jhene Aiko has featured on albums and songs with Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean, J. Cole as well as Drake's From Time.

Lamar and Childish Gambino are among the guest artists on Sail Out as well, and their tracks - Stay Ready (What A Life) and Bed Peace respectively - are standouts.

But Aiko has the goods to stand on her own. The EP's seven tracks ooze with a late-night, urban vibe, and a seeming pre-occupation with sex.

The music is sparing and moody with touches of ambient sounds - showcasing Aiko's sultry vocals.
