The fact that Jhené made two music video versions for this song is genius. Exploring her Japanese side as well as her African American/Slauson Hills side as well. Two different videos, Two different styles, 2 different point of views as well as vision. This woman is other worldly. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I feel like it'd make more sense if it was her ex and not her brother. She shows no remorse at the funeral and it ends with her getting a call from "Fucc Boi".
Its great to see that Jhene aiko embraces her Japanese heritage just as much as her African American heritage. She is/will undoubtedly be an inspiration to many mixed children in this modern age.
Xtra Timid Muzik yeah but alot of mixed kids get told they are not black enough to be black personally I'm mixed with European and indigenous native but I don't wanna person to call me native just cuz I have more features personally I'm done with ethnicity I'm human fuck the ethnic stuff put onto us
[]Xanalimarie[] Give a damn about anybody about what anybody else says cuz at the end of the day you know who you are. If you choose to neglect who you are and who your ancestors were thats fine but just know don’t nobody know ya the way u do.❤️
Aamiina Lovely telling me to shut up for voicing my opinion I've been picked on and bullied y don't know ive been thru please don't act like u do especially to someone who has been bullied for it that's why I'm done with it have a beautiful dat
Quote from a Complex article on the video- ‘The other version of the "Never Call Me" video takes the more symbolic route, and sees Aiko portrayed as the Japanese Shinto goddess of creation and death, Izanami no mikoto. In this version, Aiko acts out a funeral ceremony, which she explained to Refinery29 as being for her ex's ego. "The funeral is for a man I knew personally. A man who lost his way," she explained. "This funeral is the funeral for his ego. In this visual, I portray the goddess of creation and death, coming to collect his poor spirit and set it free," Aiko said.’
I've loved Jhené since her B2K days. I'm glad she's back on the music scene. She's so chill even her name sounds like a breath of fresh air (Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo). Love her!
I really LOVE both of these videos. Her embracing every part of her is dope. Although I won’t lie, this video don’t hit the same as the other one when she starts talking bout “bros are really in the field, neighborhood is really real” and she’s throwing that 60s up! That part is kinda dope to see I won’t lie lol 😂
I saw the Slauson Hills edition and then this. I must say, the vibe I got from this is different. This video gave other kinds of feels. It's deep. This is definitely one of my favorite songs from the album. Great job, Jhene and team! 👍👍👍
Her music tho omg...it just makes me feel all the feels and emotions! Like her music is just so relaxing and beautiful . Listen to this shit if you have anxiety. You’ll just be chilling rocking with this awesome vibe and her perfect voice 💕
I am so freakin in love with this woman it's unreal, she's been killing it from the beginning. The visual to this song is everything, i wouldn't say this is the best song on the Trip, it's one of the many as the whole album is straight up dope. Anyone else feel a UK garage vibe when listening to this song?
I love Jhene Aiko she sticks to her Chinese or Korean or Japanese roots which whichever background she is on top of sticking to her African American roots never change keep doing good sister you and Big Sean keep doing you
No prob, the cultures are very different from one another so I like to be specific. I agree with your first comment and love how Jhené stays true to herself and lets the authenticity shine through. She's the best
Omg Jhene I don’t know which one I like better, this one is probably my favorite outta the two. Your so talented & when you put a Visual with your songs it’s way better cause we get to see you, and how things really look in your mind I just love this woman !!!
She is so bloody stunning. The song was amazing give me goosebumps xxx

If music is food for the soul, than you have everything needed here to feel awesome in life. Feeling like it is time to get back into the studio myself.
Damn .. pass the tissues , this just got deep outta no where .. PLOT twist, wasn’t expecting that ... makes the song make so much more sense now & why she added Kurupts voicemail to her at the end .. well done 👏🏼

True. that wading song she did. ...I wonder was in her her heart because that song is art. Wading was underrated song in the world. love her

Ong 😂😂😂

Prod don’t sound as good in Japanese
Sumaita SAbu me too!!! Lmaoooo😂😂
Same😂
The funeral at the end is for her ex's ego and she is portraying the Shinto goddess of creation and death coming to collect his spirit. GENIUS!!!!
Yes!!! she said so in an interview
thanks for the explanation, it makes hella sense now bc I thought somebody actually died lol
Yeah it makes since ego death is something she talks about but What interview?
No thats for her brother who died bro.
I feel like it'd make more sense if it was her ex and not her brother. She shows no remorse at the funeral and it ends with her getting a call from "Fucc Boi".
I love that she embraces her heritage...i really like her spirit...just beautiful inside and out
Damn.....you should've called her, but then again....we wouldn't uh heard this beautiful music ●
She should have called him!
flowmaster2010
maybe she couldn’t or
maybe it wasn’t her responsibility...
@@flowmaster2010 lol maybe wanted to break up and tried to push her away without being honest and real...hmm 🤔
He called her at the end
Peytonfan ur funnyyyy ctfuuuu

Wolf o
kl
same here, thank u aiko
Jhene must be from another planet because she is so ahead of her time. Her creativity is on another level. There is no one like her!
Manny G. Forever I agreeb
Ahead of her time? She reminds me of any biracial “woke” girl but okay lol.
Rochelle Cadogan looool
Manny G. Forever accurate
Rochelle Cadogan Woke? Not sure what that means. I was speaking as far as her creativity. But okay..
probably my fav since her features with drake. and July is my fav.
AMAZING !!!

Xuan Wang wow this is very genius
Xuan Wang thank you
Thanks I was looking for an explanation in the comments lmao
False god and idol worship , Beyoncé did it as well recently at Coachella ritual channeling .
Xuan Wang you just made this video much more meaningful
This is so slept on.
This gave me chills
Mr. Someone aye xotwod
XO
Yoooo same
XO ♥
Mr. Someone XOTWOD
She's a force to be reckoned with for sure and so chilled out as an artist ⛩️🇯🇵
WHY using our flag?!? She is NOWHERE near Japaneasy...!!
@@aosanshou she's a quarter Japanese, why do you think she made the video lmao
My Jams : Thanks,ah 😩what a shame on her...hearing that I have to conclude she purposely pained no respects to its own culture🖤.
Underrated artist list
Jhene Aiko
Tinashe
Chloe x Halle
Little mix
Blue Lion tv
Fifth Harmony
Lorde
Charli XCX
Lion babe
Iittle mix? Marketing everything from bread to face Wash? Idk...
Little mix is not underrated sweetie

Never call me, Overstimulated, sativa and while we're young are my favs off this album.
Love you Jhene!!♥️♥️♥️
I love that in both video she's embracing her japanese and african american roots 💖 much love Jhene 💖
Pao Pao is actually is of Japanese ,Dominican , Native American, and African roots
Can't choose between this or the hood edition 😫🔥🤔
Aaysha 98 I’m with you on this! 💜
With the hood one
For

Aaysha 98 this one is beautiful but the hood one gets it
Ayesha Go. Right though!💯 The hood one makes me feel some type of way To be real! ❣️
The fact that she made 2 music videos is amazing! 2 perspectives of two different cultures. African-American and Japanese
Who's still listening to this song in 2020?!

THIS SONG GOT ME THROUGH SHIT FOR REAL

I love seeing Jhené embracing her Japanese heritage& incorporating it into her music 😌❤️
Selena Dang yessss gawwwd ugh I was waiting for her to show her Japanese side

I've loved Jhené since her B2K days. I'm glad she's back on the music scene. She's so chill even her name sounds like a breath of fresh air (Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo). Love her!
This is what I call Art and Talent
This video version is more aesthetically pleasing but i like them both! She is so beautiful & talented😍💕
I really LOVE both of these videos. Her embracing every part of her is dope. Although I won’t lie, this video don’t hit the same as the other one when she starts talking bout “bros are really in the field, neighborhood is really real” and she’s throwing that 60s up!
That part is kinda dope to see I won’t lie lol 😂
I love her vibe and energy....
One of my favorite tracks from Trip 💜💜💜

iqbalf3 more of a TRAPSOUL-esque vibe but yah I see what you mean.
Good thing I’m on break , dropped right on time
The vibe I’m getting off this song 💕💞💓
I can't get enough of this visual, Jhene needs to release visuals for Oversimulated and Psilocybin... that'd be awesome!
iqbalf3 Overstimulated and Bad Trip would be a perfect combo for a video.
Love this Jhene! Both videos are so dope! ❤️
She looks so effortlessly gorgeous in this video 543 viewerr!
This woman is amazing .. I love her 😍😍 she's got so much character in her and she's just so amazing

She's Japanese
NeenaAndEmily thank u for the confirmation on tht wasn't sure new it was one of those.👍
No prob, the cultures are very different from one another so I like to be specific. I agree with your first comment and love how Jhené stays true to herself and lets the authenticity shine through. She's the best

SHE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE KYOSHI WARRIORS FROM AVATAR OMGGG
Yessssssss
The One omggggg yesss
The One we need an avatar 2
She looks more like the painted lady to me (also from avatar)
It's not from avatar. It's an actual cultural thing hence why characters look like this in avatar.
Oh she is a gem
xoxosh bhai
I love her so much! 💙💜❤️ she is so precious to the music industry 💯❤️💜💙
I’m in love with Jhene. Her music always speaks what’s exactly on my mind and heart
Both videos are so dope! I can't choose!!!

One of the few musicians around the whole world that when drops a song I know it is dope way before i listen to it.
Goshh....i love her 💖💖💖
Damn .. pass the tissues , this just got deep outta no where .. PLOT twist, wasn’t expecting that ... makes the song make so much more sense now & why she added Kurupts voicemail to her at the end .. well done 👏🏼
