Sailing Soul(s) is the debut mixtape by American singer-songwriter Jhené Aiko. It was originally released on March 16, 2011, and later re-released through Def Jam for streaming platforms on March 12, 2021. Aiko began working on the mixtape after she gave birth to her daughter. Aiko wrote all the mixtape's songs except "July," which was written by Micah Powell. Most songs on the mixtape were produced by Fisticuffs, except "July" and "You vs Them" which were produced by Bei Maejor, "Real Now" which was produced by Roosevelt, "Do Better" which was produced by J. Lbs and “Growing Apart Too” which was produced by Tae Beast. The mixtape featured several guest vocalists, including Miguel, Drake, Gucci Mane, Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar as well as others. Critically, the mixtape received positive reviews, with reviewers saying that the mixtape was one of the "freshest", another reviewer said that the mixtape is making "noise in the R&B spectrum". The concept follows the story of Aiko having a meeting with a label and she was told by people at the label "I love everything but when you come into these meetings you have to sell yourself."
