Audio: Jhené Aiko, “To Love & Die” Feat. Cocaine 80s

After the release of her successful Sail Out EP last year and “Drinking and Driving” featured track on the Saint Heron compilation, Jhené Aiko lets loose on her first official single “To Love & Die,” featuring Cocaine 80s. The track is from her forthcoming Def Jam debut Souled Out, with James Fauntleroy on the background vocals and No I.D. on production. The subtle melody is nested with warm vocal waves and coos about the spellbinding effects of love.
