Ari Lennox, a stalwart of contemporary R&B, takes it easy on her new album 'Vacancy', embracing the genre-bending spirit while still staying true to its sophisticated roots.
On "Under the Moon", she unleashes her inner wild child, painting a vivid picture of a lover who's as fierce as a werewolf, and even breaks out into a chilling, moon-inspired howl that will leave listeners in awe. The contrast between Lennox's jazz-infused sensibilities and her tendency to lean into playfulness is undeniable.
Her album 'Vacancy' showcases the perfect blend of wildness and tradition, with tracks like "Cool Down" – a feel-good reggae/R&B fusion that embodies the essence of summertime lightness – and "Mobbin in DC", where Lennox expertly juggles lounge-singer coolness with sharp come-ons. It's this confident swagger that cements 'Vacancy' as her most fun outing to date.
Lennox has certainly had her fair share of struggles in the industry, including harassment from radio DJs and public feuds with past labels. However, on "Vacancy", she exudes an undeniable air of self-assurance, proving that there's still plenty of road ahead for this talented artist.
