In addition to sharing the tracklist for Chilombo, Aiko also revealed what the album title means, which is also her given last name. Chilombo is “a name JhenĂ©’s father chose for himself as a young adult, proclaims the artist’s full name, JhenĂ© Aiko Efuru Chilombo,” Aiko wrote on Instagram.

The “Sativa” singer also revealed that she has been studying the practice of sound healing and with Chilbombo, she has incorporated crystal alchemy singing bowls on every track. “This form of sound healing has been found to be both physically and mentally healing on the cellular level,” Aiko wrote.
Aiko also describes Chilombo as a “time-lapse of an unassuming volcano erupting gracefully with its lava flowing freely… settling and creating new land and new life.” It also âcelebrates her coming into her own personal power.â The album is comprised of freestyles that Aiko recorded in Hawaii where JhenĂ©âs great grandmother was born.
âI make music for healing purposes, for myself,â JhenĂ© told Essence. âItâs like journaling or when people paint. Itâs sort of an escape. Itâs turning pain or frustration into something; into art. Sharing it is also therapeutic because when people express to you that they are relating to it, youâre like, âOh, Iâm not alone in what Iâm going through.’â
