The Surfacing of a Hidden Gem
I know that most writers writing about this topic may want to start from the beginning of a musical era. Shining light on the black women musicians from the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and even the 90’s- but I would like to take the time to shine light on the new age artists. Just one in particular, Jhene Aiko Efuru Chilombo. Contrary to popular belief, Jhene just might be one of the most overlooked and underrated artists of today. Not only is she a singer/songwriter with a majestical and somewhat angelic sound, she is a musical healer. She incorporates sound healing bowls throughout her music to allow the frequencies from the bowls to resonate with your chakras; truly channeling your inner emotions and really connecting with the listener on a deeper level. Before you form your opinion, let me further explain. Black women from those early eras previously mentioned have paved the way for many. I grew up listening to some of the greats. My introduction to these women through my elders have shaped my life, and transformed me in indescribable ways. Some of the greats that I am referring to would be Carmen Jones, Roberta Flack, Etta James, Ann Peebles, Nina Simone, Deniece Williams, The Clark Sisters, Whitney Houston, and the list goes on. These women possessed a quality that was undeniable, and they outshined their competition. I loved music because of them; but I never aspired to be like them. In fact, hearing their tones and vocal capabilities discouraged me. In some way, all of their voices were strong and dominant. Their voices were unique like mine, but still met the industry’s standards of being considered a “real” singer unlike mine. It wasn't until I discovered Jhene, that I realized that I too, may have an actual chance at becoming a singer myself.
