KUALA LUMPUR, May 27 — After successfully collaborating with Usher for Crush and DJ Premier for Places to Go, Yuna has released her latest single Used to Love You featuring Grammy-nominated neo-soul songstress Jhené Aiko.
Taken off her latest album Chapters, Used to Love You is a soulful masterpiece with a mix of pop and R&B, and the combination of Yuna and Aiko’s honeyed vocals makes this track stand out from the rest of the songs on the album.
Aiko possesses a gentle and sensually sweet voice that is kind of similar to Yuna’s soothing tone yet they’re not the same.
In 2013, Jhené appeared in Big Sean’s single Beware which also featured Lil Wayne, and the song became her first Top 40 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
She was also nominated at the 2015 Grammy Awards in three categories, Best R&B Song for The Worst, Best Urban Contemporary Album for Sail Out and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for Blak Majik with Common.
Yuna who is currently on her first US tour, performed Used to Love on stage with Jhené Aiko for the first time in Los Angeles recently. — TheHive.Asia
