Jenevieve Recruits Freddie Gibbs and SALIMATA for 'Flight Risqué'

April 17, 2026·1 min read

Miami-born singer Jenevieve returns with “Flight Risqué,” a sun-drenched collaboration featuring Freddie Gibbs and SALIMATA. Built on resonant piano chords and rising strings, the track leans into a sophisticated soul-rap hybrid that feels less like a studio session and more like a high-altitude lounge act. Jenevieve’s hushed, effortless vocal delivery anchors the production, providing a soft landing for the sharper edges of her guests. Freddie Gibbs delivers a characteristically tight verse, trading his usual grit for a buoyant flow that matches the track’s breezy tempo. Alongside a charismatic turn from SALIMATA, the trio achieves a rare balance between technical rap proficiency and smooth R&B textures. It’s a significant evolution for Jenevieve, moving her further away from the synth-heavy nostalgia of her earlier work toward a more organic, live-instrumentation sound. While no official project has been announced, “Flight Risqué” signals a refined direction for Jenevieve as she prepares her next full-length statement.
