Jhene Aiko takes us in the studio while she and Cocaine 80s' Steve Wyreman jam out, and create what looks like a new song, "Beautiful Ruin."
Aiko shares the lyrics on her YouTube page along with the visuals, which show the two just relaxing in the studio and creating music together. She's putting the finishing touches on her Def Jam debut album Souled Out, due out later this year.

I remember
Like lightning to the heart,
I saw things clearer.
The day you came inside,
I felt brand new,
So what am i to do now?
Well you don’t have to say it,
Cuz I can read your mind.
You do not have to stay here
If you don’t have the time.
And if you must go, just know I gave you my whole world,
Trusted & loved you, must’ve been cuz I’m a crazy girl.
Yea you really took things to far….
And there are some things that you should know….
My mama was a gypsy,
My daddy was a rollin’ stone.
I wonder did he miss me….cuz he was never home.
So I thought you would, I thought you could,
Be the one (I never really knew love)
So I thought you would, I thought you could
Be the one (But already knew love)
From a beautiful woman and your beautiful child,
Left me in beautiful ruins, instead of pullin’ me out.
