Aiko has completely opened herself up for this work, bravely mourning in public and exposing all the ways she tried and failed to do so in private. It’s all part of a larger multimedia project comprising an emotional short film, the album, and a forthcoming book of poetry. Where her peers often drift towards dense electronica or hip-hop to inform their sounds and give them commercial appeal, Aiko keeps this music light and ambient, a space where she’s at her best. The airiness of Aiko’s voice blends well into the spare, psychedelia-inspired productions courtesy of Dot Da Genius, Fisticuffs, and Amaire Johnson among others. Befitting its length, these are highs that last for hours on end. As a concept album, Trip aims to translate the hallucinogenic highs of weed, LSD, and shrooms into sound.
