Souled Out is the debut album by American recording artist Jhene Aiko, expected to be released in 2013, through Def Jam Recordings. It will be Aiko's first release under the label after leaving her contract with Sony Records in 2003. After leaving "Sony Records" Aiko released her first mixtape "Sailing Soul(s)" independently, the mixtape featured appearances from well known artists and was met with critical acclaim. In 2012, Aiko met with No I.D., record producer and vice president of A&R at Def Jam, who ended up signing Aiko to his Artium Records imprint through Def Jam.[1]

The writing, recording and producing of the album began shortly after Jhene was signed to Def Jam in 2012. Most of the album was wrote by Aiko herself and will feature production from No I.D., Dot da Genius, Key Wane, TDE and Fistcuffs, who is responsible for producing the majority of Aiko's debut mixtape "Sailing Soul(s)"(2011). The album is expected to feature several musical guests including Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul and Kid Cudi.
