Vibe update

BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED: Debuting in our Vibe-Raters roundup this week is Artium/Def Jam/IDJ’s Jhene Aiko. The L.A.-based Urban-Pop songstress’ Sail Out EP enjoyed a Top 10 bow, and single “The Worst” has a January radio target date (a full-length release is slated for May). With over 400k first-week VEVO views, VH1 Soul love and mondo press, this veteran of the mixtape world—who has ties to superstars like Big Sean, Drake, J Cole and Kendrick Lamar—is seriously expanding her profile. In other Vibe news, Passenger and Kacey Musgraves advance, A Great Big World keeps blowing up at radio and e-tail, and American Authors pen another exciting career chapter. Check it all out right here. (11/21p)
