Jhené Aiko Drops Soothing 15-Minute Mantra ‘I'm Not Afraid' With Visual
Jhené Aiko is back with a soulful healing experience. Over the weekend, the six-time Grammy-nominated artist surprised fans with the release of her long-awaited 15-minute mantra, 'I'm Not Afraid.' Read more and check out the visual inside.
The sonic offering, layered with crystal alchemy sound bowls and intentional megahertz frequencies, continues Aiko's artistic mission to use music as a tool for emotional healing and spiritual alignment. Released via ArtClub/Def Jam, the mantra is available on all major streaming platforms.
Jhené's latest sonic offering is accompanied by a calming visual: a flickering candle glowing gently in complete darkness, captured through a custom-engineered water basin that turns low-frequency vibrations into mesmerizing light patterns. Created by visual artists Lachlan Turczan and Conner Griffith, the visual evokes the inner stillness Aiko's work often encourages fans to cultivate.
Aiko introduced the track with a poetic letter on Instagram, titled 'i am not afraid (creation mantra),' urging listeners to embrace the unknown and lean into fear as a canvas for creativity. 'Darkness is not meant to be feared, but embraced,' she writes. 'When you find yourself in the midst of abyss… You must consider this: You are the light… And right where you are meant to be.' She closes the letter with a call to transform fear into imaginative freedom and spiritual wholeness.
This meditative offering follows Aiko's previous healing-centered releases like her 2019 single 'Trigger Protection Mantra,' and 2023's 'Alive & Well Mantra,' along with her groundbreaking Chilombo album, which was the first contemporary studio album to feature therapeutic sound frequencies.
The release also comes just after her Go To Heal campaign for Mental Health Awareness Month in May, where she led guided meditations and sparked conversations around mental wellness. Using her platform, Aiko continues to make healing accessible while encouraging her audience to explore mindfulness, sound therapy, and intentional living.
'I'm Not Afraid' is a sanctuary. Whether you're meditating, journaling, or simply seeking a moment of calm, Aiko's latest creation invites you to lean into yourself and let your soul breathe.
Plug in your headphones and press play. Jhené is helping the world heal, one vibration at a time.

Jessie J Battling Infection and Chest Pains Following Breast Cancer Surgery
Six weeks after undergoing a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis, Jessie J was admitted to the hospital once again to address her ongoing complications. The musician shared in a recent Instagram Story post that she discharged herself ('I hate being in the hospital') after being assured that the symptoms she has been experiencing are not related to a blood clot in her lungs. '6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery,' Jessie wrote on Saturday, Aug. 2. 'Not expected or planned. I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD.' The singer's testing revealed an infection and fluid in her lungs, but has not been explicitly detailed.

Who Is Luiza Rozova? Putin's Alleged Love Child Breaks Silence
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Elizaveta Krivonogikh, also known as Luiza Rozova, has gone public with sharp criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin—her alleged father—more than a year after vanishing from social media. Now living in Paris under a new name, she's distancing herself from the Kremlin and the luxury lifestyle she once displayed online. In a series of Telegram posts obtained by the German newspaper Bild, Krivonogikh wrote about a man "who took millions of lives and destroyed mine." The 22-year-old did not name Putin directly, but the reference was widely interpreted as her first public break with the Russian leader. "It's liberating to be able to show my face to the world again," she added. "It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life." A New Life in Paris Born in St. Petersburg in 2003, Krivonogikh has been long rumored to be the daughter of Putin and former cleaner Svetlana Krivonogikh. After Luiza's birth, her mother's financial fortunes rose sharply. While there has never been official confirmation of Putin's paternity, Krivonogikh's patronymic—Vladimirovna—and past investigative reports have fueled speculation for years.

On right, Elizaveta Krivonogikh. More Getty Images / Telegram She once posted regularly on Instagram, sharing photos of private jets, elite nightclubs and designer fashion. But her account disappeared around the time Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Now, according to multiple reports, she goes by Elizaveta Rudnova and works at two Paris art galleries—L Galerie in Belleville and Espace Albatros in Montreuil—both known for hosting anti-war exhibitions. She graduated from the ICART School of Cultural and Art Management in 2024 and helps organize shows and produce video content. Caught Between Politics Krivonogikh's new life has not been without controversy. Russian artist Nastya Rodionova, who fled Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, ended her collaboration with both galleries after learning of Krivonogikh's involvement. "It is inadmissible to allow a person who comes from a family of beneficiaries of the regime to come into confrontation with the victims of that regime," Rodionova said in a public statement. Krivonogikh defended herself, asking, "Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can't even hear me?" Some in the Paris art community have supported her. Dmitry Dolinsky, who runs the association that oversees both galleries, told Bild: "She looks like Putin, but so do 100,000 other people. I haven't seen a DNA test." Others described her as cultured and committed to her work. Her mother was sanctioned by the United Kingdom in 2023 over her ties to Putin's inner circle. Krivonogikh has since traded designer labels for activism, signaling a full break from the image she once embraced. "My life is ruined," she wrote recently, referencing the man she holds responsible for both personal and national destruction. She now appears focused on rebuilding her identity—and making it clear that she wants no part of the legacy she inherited.

Chappell Roan Gives Second Album Update: 'There Is No Album'
Chappell Roan may be counting down all of the days 'til you're just another girl on the if you're counting down the days until she drops a new album, you might have to rethink your strategy. In a new interview celebrating the release of her newest single, 'Subway,' Chappell gave an update on her second album—and it's not exactly encouraging. 'The second project doesn't exist yet,' Chappell recently told Vogue. 'There is no album. There is no collection of songs.' So, that's a definite no on a new album, and a likely no on any hopes of a mixtape or EP to tide us over. I think I speak for all Chappell fans when I say, we're not mad, we're just disappointed for our playlists. Though, we really shouldn't be, because the Grammy winner has plenty of very good reasons for taking her time. Her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess was only released two years ago, and she's essentially been performing it and promoting it ever since. Yes, she's dropped a few songs in the last year or so—'Good Luck, Babe!,' 'The Giver,' and now 'The Subway'—but three singles does not a new album make. You know what does make an album, according to Chappell? Time. 'It took me five years to write the first one, and it's probably going to take at least five to write the next. I'm not that type of writer that can pump it out,' she told Vogue. As for all the fans begging her to get back in the studio, Chappell says she's seen the memes, but you should know, it doesn't help much. 'I don't think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything,' she said. 'I see some comments sometimes, like, 'She's everywhere except that damn studio.' Even if I was in the studio 12 hours a day, every single day, that does not mean that you would get an album any faster.' Oh, and you also shouldn't expect a lot of updates on how that second album is coming along, either. 'The album process is purely, only mine,' she told the mag. 'No one on TikTok gets to see it.'
