As she gets closer and closer to the release of her debut album, Jhené Aiko does what she does best and went unplugged as part of MTV’s ‘Artist to Watch’ series.

Joined by her guitar player, the L.A. native performed stripped-down versions of her Cocaine 80s-assisted single “To Love & Die” and the recently leaked “Spotless Mind.”

“I feel like my personality is a mix of a whole lot of things, so my music reflects that and you can’t really define it,” she said.

Jhené’s much-anticipated debut album Souled Out will hit stores September 9. Enjoy her smooth acoustic performances below:
