“It’s something you wanna put in your car it’s perfect for the summer time.” “ Sail Out has a lot of the hip-hop/rap influence on it, even with the beats,” she says. Rather than leaving some of the album’s 20 recorded tracks on the cutting room floor, Aiko decided to release an EP. Speaking with Rap-Up TV, the rising R&B talent announced plans to release the Sailed Out EP in advance of Souled Out, her first full-length effort since 2011’s Sailing Soul(s) mixtape.
The EP will “bridge the gap” until the release of her debut album.
