Jhené Aiko's emotionally-charged third album Chilombo entered the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart at No. 1 and the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 2 on the strength of its five massive advance tracks: "B.S." (featuring H.E.R.), "Triggered (Freestyle)," "None Of Your Concern" (featuring Big Sean), "Pu$$y Fairy (OTW)," and "Happiness Over Everything (H.O.E.)" (feat. Future and Miguel).

Chilombo proclaims the artist's full name, Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo, as it celebrates her coming into her own personal power. The initial jam sessions where she freestyled the lyrics to each song, took place on The Big Island of Hawaii where Jhené's great grandmother was born. Jhené was inspired by the beauty and power of the island's volcanoes, having visited throughout the years. Chilombo means wild beast. The volcano is symbolic of the beautiful, yet powerful beast. Jhené Aiko is Chilombo.

In contrast to her 2017 album, Trip, which intricately detailed the process of grieving, Chilombo finds Jhené embracing her strength and power, coming into her confidence as a woman, a creator and a healer. She has always embraced magic in her particular brand of soulful, trippy, ethereal R&B, but now on Chilombo she has taken it all to another level.
