By Ni'Kesia Pannell on Oct 13, 2014

It’s been an absolutely amazing year for songbird Jhené Aiko and her number of nominations for the 2014 Soul Train Awards is one way to prove it.

Taking the stage at the Wendy Williams Show on Monday, the eclectic singer performed an acoustic version of her single, “The Pressure“. Backed by a single guitar, Jhené was seen sitting pretty as she belted out the lyrics to the fan favorite.

Fresh off of The Weeknd’s “King of the Fall” tour, Jhené also helped Wendy reveal this year’s Soul Train Award nominations on the show. Wendy – who will be hosting the famed award show this year – announced that Jhené is in the running for the “Best New Artist” category against August Alsina and more. In addition, Jhené is up for “Video of the Year” for “The Worst,” totaling her nominations at four.
