(Twinkle) Little (Star)
How I wonder what you (Are)
Sing it Nami
I've been coming home late night
I've been sleeping past day light
I'm waking up you're not by my side
Baby that ain't right
I wanna be there with you
I really do be missing you
Everything I do is for you
And I really do adore you
You're getting so big now
You're making me so proud cause
You are such a star
And you know that you are
So every single little moment
I can't be there to hold your hand
I need for you to know that
I need for you to know that
Anything should happen, anything should happen
Cause anything could, if anything should happen
Know that you'll be alright, know that you'll be alright

And you better believe that nothing holding me back
So everything is alright, everything is alright
Everything is alright, promise I'll be
Promise you'll be, promise we'll be alright

Artistry[edit]
Voice and music[edit]
Aiko's voice was described as having 'gentle pop-tinged vocals [...] [a] sensually sweet voice',[95] and Jim Farber of the New York Daily News described her voice as having a 'feathery tone, sky-high pitch and dazed delivery' that floats 'above the beat, sexy and aloof'; Farber said she was 'the female answer' to Frank Ocean.[96] Jordan Sargent of Pitchfork Media compared Aiko's vocals to those of R&B singers Cassie, Brandy, Ciara and, the late Aaliyah.[97] Thematically Aiko's work contains direct and 'acute', lyrics that can be sometimes 'girlish.'[98] Adam Fleischer of MTV described Aiko's lyrical content as being 'catchy and emotive,' continuing to note Aiko's lyrics as having no boundaries; which mix 'moments of sensitivity and love, but also moments of confusion and aggression.'[99]
— Bradley Stern, Time[100]
Jhene's musical style is associated with a new wave of music called PBR&B,[101] which is described as emerging, stylistic alternative to contemporary R&B.[102][103][104][105] Besides PBR&B Aiko's explores a variety of genres including psychedelic music, classic R&B and hip hop music.[106] Aiko has described herself as being part of this movement, she noted her own musical style as being 'alternative' and a 'new-generation R&B', which she compared herself to the style of Frank Ocean, Miguel and Drake.[107] Described by Erin Lowers a reviewer from XXL magazine, Aiko's music is alternative R&B, which the reviewer described as being created with the use of heavily used synthesizers and 'wooly drum loops,' the reviewer continued to say that her genre is caught in a 'revolutionized limbo.'[108] Bradley Stern of Time, compared the Aiko's musical style to the work of Sade, calling the album's genre 'future R&B', Stern continued to compare her music to the work of The Weeknd, Tinashe and FKA twigs.[109]
Aiko writes music every day, often writing lines or a poem, and begins to add them to melodies. She describes her writing style as 'freestyle,' where she just says how she is feeling, taking a day or up to a month to complete.[110] During the recording of the album Aiko opted to freestyle when writing the album, she would have a beat or would sit with producers and she would sing a melody until she had words, she described the process as not having a lot written down saying 'there's not a lot of writing down—I'll only write it down to make sure it makes sense after I come up with it. For the most part, I like to not have second thoughts.'[111] Aiko revealed that whilst writing music she enjoys being high in order to use the feeling as inspiration and that for the entire writing and recording process of her debut mixtape Sailing Soul(s), she was under the influence of cannabis. When writing for her debut studio album, she did the same but recorded while sober.[112] Aiko places great importance on writing her music, believing it defines her as an artist: 'After each song I've lost like a piece of me, because I've put it in to (sic) the song.'[112] Singer Nick Jonas cited Aiko as an influence during the recording of his debut album, noting her alternative R&B sound as his influence.[113]
Influences[edit]
Aiko cites American rapper Tupac as a major influence, saying he is 'a big inspiration for me just to stick to who I am and to actually stand for something through music' and 'an icon for speaking your mind and being you, even if it's controversial.' [114][115] Aiko also cites R&B singer Aaliyah,[116]Eminem and Kendrick Lamar as influences.[114] Aiko also calls recording artist Kid Cudi, a major influence, stating Cudi is 'pretty much one of the only people that I listen to consistently. No matter what he puts out, I'm one of those fans. He can do no wrong in my eyes.'[114]
Aiko also credits Brandy as a major influence, saying, 'I always say the person who taught me how to sing indirectly because I listened to her all the time was Brandy. I fell in love with her voice when I was six years old. I always loved Brandy.' Aiko also listens to Beyoncé to learn from her vocal technique and is also influenced by India.Arie and Amel Larrieux. Aiko is influenced by John Mayer saying 'He's probably one of my number one musical influences because of his writing ability and his voice.'[117]
During the recording of her debut extended play “Sail Out' (2013), Aiko stated she took a large amount of influence from hip-hop and rap music notably the genre's beats.[118][119] Aiko has stated growing up in a musical family influenced her, noting her siblings bands as an influence, Aiko also cited R&B band TLC as an influence when growing up. During the 1990s, she began listening to Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, and Lil' Kim, stating her influences were a mixture, following this Aiko began listening to Sade Adu.[120]
