Def Jam’s newest singing sensation Jhené Aiko is ready to release her first official album, “Souled Out.” After two successful internet-driven mixtapes, the 26-year-old mother has worked her way to the mainstream with emotional songs and melodic runs.

Her new song and video, “The Pressure” stayed consistent what her fans love about her—her impeccable ability to be cool, vulnerable and 100% herself at all times.

In the video, directed by actor and rapper Childish Gambino (whom she’s worked with several times in the past and is rumored to have dated), Aiko shows how she deals with the daily stresses of being a mother, celebrity, friend and girlfriend. While rocking faux-blonde dreads and various boho-chic ensembles, she sings...

Pay attention to the signs
Stay and listen, you will find
Everything, ain't rocket science
Every gem is not a diamond

Watch the video here, for yourselves.
