Jhene also spoke with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 radio about working with John Mayer, Brandy, Swae Lee, and Big Sean on the album, her beliefs, her 9 year old daughter being featured on the album, and more. Below is an excerpt.
Jhene on how she has similar energy to Sean: “Sean’s energy is a lot like mine. I’m more of myself with everyone close to me and they know like that I can get like that sometimes like OK Well what’s happening with this? and that but I don’t like that. You know what I mean I’d like to feel more calm and Sean is sort of the opposite where it’s like now I’m talking to you like it’s fine. Like you know he’s like it’s weird because he’s an Aries but he’s very close to Pisces and I’m a Pisces very close to Aries so somehow we met in the middle and we’re alike in a lot of ways. So yeah I think he’s good he’s grounded and he knows how to relax and we both you know have a lot of people around us that keep us you know good and not stressed.”
