ABOUT ARI LENNOX

Ari Lennox first captured global attention with her 2019 debut Shea Butter Baby, an R&B album that produced the platinum-certified title track and “BMO,” alongside gold-certified fan favorites “Whipped Cream” and “Up Late.” The album earned Ari nominations from the GRAMMYs, Soul Train Awards, and NAACP Image Awards.

In 2021, Lennox released “Pressure,” her chart-topping anthem and first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100. That momentum carried into her critically acclaimed 2022 album age/sex/location. Her third studio album, Vacancy, is available now.

Recent performance highlights include multiple sold-out nights alongside Robert Glasper during his Blue Note residency in Los Angeles, a featured performance at the 80th EBONY Power 100 Gala, and a national television appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where she delivered a performance of the new single “Twin Flame.”
