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 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'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!
Her beauty is different and on another level. No shame to other women but most people look the same now. It’s easy to be conventionally attractive and people are happy so I’m happy. But Jhene is not your average 😍😍 Edit: she is conventional I guess because a lot of people find her attractive but she’s not the same average girl we see on instagram all the time.
Butter Fly I agree she’s conventionally attractive, but hardly anyone is as pretty as her. If you go to the shopping centre you’ll find a lot of Kim K look-a-likes (not denying that they’re pretty) but you won’t see many on par with jhene. It makes sense in my head ok lol Edit: I think the word I was looking for was common, not conventional 🤦♀️
No hate of course.Many people these days go OD on layering the makeup,the filters,the botox,fillers,surgeries.But she's just different and stands out,in a good way. 😊
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
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 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! 👍👍👍
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 !!!

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
I thought she was bouta sing in Japanese I was bout be like ohhh she lit 🤪😂. Naw but this still fire🔥.
Ong 😂😂😂
righttt😂😂😂
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".
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
I love that she embraces her heritage...i really like her spirit...just beautiful inside and out
Dope that she made two versions. Shot out to all the blasians 🙌🏾

All her music videos look like movies 👏🏽🔥
Hello guys, if you love Jhene and love this song check out my bast boosted version: ua-cam.com/video/hje5mEEjFjE/v-deo.html
SupremeDreamss this is the second video she did to this song and both look like they could be movies. The other is like a old school 90s vibe
SupremeDreamss Indeed my Queen💕
SupremeDreamss
SupremeDreamss she should make one though like they would be rlly good
She's got that Black + Japanese magic ♥️ So beautiful and unique!
Did she throw up her set at 0:48 😂 love her
Ondrea Bentley she most definitely did 😂 60s crip affiliated 🤪
Ondrea Bentley she sure did!!!
She did it so quick I still don’t know what I’m looking at lmao 😂
Sheala Sutton she grew up around Slauson that’s definitely crip 😂
Did she throw up Cs or something? Lol I keep replying it tryna catch it Lmao

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
YES one of the best songs on the album
I agree
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..
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!!♥️♥️♥️

Who's still listening to this song in 2020?!
I love that in both video she's embracing her japanese and african american roots 💖 much love Jhene 💖

I love her vibe and energy....
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!
she looks so beautiful 😍😍
*She's sooo laid back and chill I love it😍*
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
JHENE IS SUCH A LEGEND FOR THIS SHE WENT IN!!!!!!
The makeup here is CRAZY 😍🔥🔥
haleigh totally😍😍
I love you my soul sista🌾🍃
One of my favorite tracks from Trip 💜💜💜
Fazlin Mohamed Love u 💞🌹
I believe she said on a Spotify podcast that this song was her favorite also (: Maybe that explains why she put put 2 videos for it
Her beauty is different and on another level. No shame to other women but most people look the same now. It’s easy to be conventionally attractive and people are happy so I’m happy. But Jhene is not your average 😍😍
Edit: she is conventional I guess because a lot of people find her attractive but she’s not the same average girl we see on instagram all the time.
I’m sorry, you’re right, she’s stunning, but she’s very conventionally attractive

R people are following others .if everyone choose to be unique probably we would enjoy more this world.
No hate of course.Many people these days go OD on layering the makeup,the filters,the botox,fillers,surgeries.But she's just different and stands out,in a good way. 😊
R Everyone wants that Kim Kardashian trash and fake and unattainable bodies, and it’s not wrong, but it’s not attractive. Natural always wins.
The fact that she made 2 music videos is amazing! 2 perspectives of two different cultures. African-American and Japanese
This is what I call Art and Talent
Blasian chicks are the 🐐
Thank you 💅🏾
Thank u
I would deffiently be her man.i never had a blasian chick
Trey Trey Fun fact she is more white then asian and black 🤷🏽♀️ but yes Blasian Women are beautiful.
African are the best
Daaaamnnnn big sean wrong for doing her like that now she gonna send the ninjas out 😂😂😂👍💯🆗🆗🆗 we see you jhene ♥️♥️💯
This about her ex husband he did her dirty
Love this but I live completely for that Slauson Hills Edition 😭😭

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
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’s embracing her Japanese heritage in this video.

You're a piece of art, Jhené.
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?
iqbalf3 more of a TRAPSOUL-esque vibe but yah I see what you mean.
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.
Wow. This is so vibezy 🍃
Salute for having Kurupt as a feature I see her hip hop roots go far
She’s looks so stunning in this vid love the cultural aspect of this
She looks so effortlessly gorgeous in this video 543 viewerr!
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! 👍👍👍
One of my favorite songs on the album.

Morgan Taylor ms Taylor
Good thing I’m on break , dropped right on time
She has the most pure heart in the world ❤
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.
Her voice is so soft and soothing.
This video is so good and her voice is amazing. I don't know why people would dislike this. I love how she brings out her Japanese side so beautiful.
I love her so much! 💙💜❤️ she is so precious to the music industry 💯❤️💜💙
a whole entire ass different feel than the "Slauson Hill" version... I love you sis Jhene #piscesgemini connection
I’m in love with Jhene. Her music always speaks what’s exactly on my mind and heart
Kurupt is hands down the big brother we have been looking for.
Here from the “Hood Edition/Version” 🙌🏽

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL...IM INLOVE
She is so talented it's ridiculous that she is basically just sitting on it.
Luis A. Gonzalez for real
Luis A. Gonzalez seriously ..but to be honest i think she really wants to remain low key and do just her music the way she wants
Beautyisforus33 definitely agree
Luis A. Gonzalez wait how is she sitting on her talent?
