I'm 52 years and my 22 year old niece put me on Ari Lennox, I can't stop listening, she have definitely created a move in life the same way Erykah Badu did when she came on the scene!
23 and put my 49 year old mom on. I catch her all the time singing BMO to herself. Your niece is probably as humbled and honored as I am to do such a thing
I'm ashamed to say my 48yr old butt saw her in concert & didn't know who she was, had to ask the youngins during a bathroom break, she opened for Lizzo...instantly became a fan!!!! 💜 her!!!
B.E.T. 106 & park wildin out Wednesday's about 2010ish is what put me on her covers... she got 2nd place to some girl from Charlotte... she should have won... she performed random heartbreaks
You mean as in right now? Because there was Heather Headley, Angie Stone, India Arie, Erykah Badu, Lauren Hill and countless others that represented us chocolate women.
Ari Lennox is very original I hate that people keep saying that she reminds them of Erykah Badu she's so much more than a reminder of Erykah Badu, she's Ari Lennox in her own right and she is phenomenal
Just finished watching The Photograph, for the 20th time. Just had to come here also and listen to this song. I even grew up in Corona Queens, walking distance to dat museum. This movie, just like that Unisphere, brings me to a full circle.
The intro gives me goosebumps. That’s what music is all about. I love everything about you Ari Lennox! ❤️ You are the definition of what feminine is. 🎀
I’m TELLING YOU I’m not an emotive person but the way my eyes were WELLED full of tears during the intro 😭 I felt the chills shiver throughout my entire body
Ari !! I'm from the inner city SouthSide of Chicago and this joint Dope, it has our steppers flow to it to, IDK if that was on purpose but whatever rather it was or not it's HOT ... Mannnn you keep hooking me in as a fan. I already was but Yooo girl @arilennox #girlonfire
I need to know the full story to this song lol . I love how this is just a regular story and she turned into something so smooth and soulful. Can we get into the production of this song!? That saxophone break!? So dope. Love this song
The first time I heard this song I was at a jazz bar and if anybody been to a jazz bar with good music then you are aware of the vibe that can kick off in there! So anyway I'm buying my drink and the beat come on and I start nodding my head like everybody was when they first heard it then strobe lights come on! So as I'm leaning against the bar sipping my drink I look out amongst the crowd and it was like perfect timing because a few people moved out the way and there was this lady there in a super sexy brown dress with some thigh high boots on! She had medium milky brown skin like a Hershey Symphony chocolate bar with tha natural curly hair! It was bouncing as she was moving and twisting and turning to the beat and I was just like damn! So in the midst of me being stuck in the moment of saying damn like damn she saw me looking at her and she did the sexy little hip dipping thru her hair over her ear and looked up at me with this super seductive smile like this beat is behind her words! At that moment everybody in there disappeared but her so I walked out there and let me tell you I ain't never dance with nobody like that in my life! It was like a real life movie scene and she felt what I felt! Why I say that is because I'm a tease when I be slow dancing with somebody and she carry the same energy so without words it was like our bodies said we going to make this little five minutes a movie! And that's exactly what we must have done because after we were done dancing the other people that were there we're standing around us clapping like we just performed for them!?! No I don't know about her but I didn't see nobody in there but her for 5 minutes! So we did one of those oh my God I can't believe that just happened laughs and escorted each other to the bar for a drink. People walking up to us asking how long we've been married how long we been dating they like our chemistry and some more stuff LOL. After the drinks and the bar with shutting down walk each other outside didn't exchange numbers just gave each other a hug and she kissed me on the cheek and said thank you oh, this will be a night I will remember for a very long time and I agreed to the 5th power do you hear me LOL! If y'all ain't never had one, have yourself a movie Moment I wish you at least one! Miss Ari Lennox, how you did this song brought back all of that memory thank you
You must be a writer. I held on to every word in anticipation of what was next. I loved it! I read it as the music was playing and I lived it! Thank you!
This my alter ego song 😂😂😂 acting like my husband a random...excuse me sir.. P.S. Lol god gotta send me a husband first, im literally speaking this into existence 🙏🏾
This is a quiet storm track...wine...rain..and bubbles! Perfect end to the weekend before the week starts. Who knows what will happen...at least we have good music to listen to if it is the end of the world. Lol im sure if you listening to this you str8. Don't trip! Lol
The only reason I decided to give the CD a listen was because she went tf off about not getting an award at the Soul Train awards. The moment the CD started I was like "Okayyyyyyyyy Ari talk your shyt". Yasssssssssssss this was definitely needed for the culture. #BringRealMusicBack #RAndB #Soul I can't even pick a fav on the album. It legit bangs from beginning to end #ThanksAri #DCNative

Yesss!
Yeah she do
Timeless is the word
All facts!! You said it the absolute best TIMELESS!! I start my day EVERYDAY with Ari!!!

J Cole is a very smart man for signing her, she's keeping the soul vibes. Remind me of Eryka Badu
Facts.. Ari is the ultimate cheat code in Dreamville
JAY, toujours le coup d'avance. Visionnaire.
Ari Lennox is very original I hate that people keep saying that she reminds them of Erykah Badu she's so much more than a reminder of Erykah Badu, she's Ari Lennox in her own right and she is phenomenal
@@coronarysteaka1213 infact it's a huge compliment anyone can hear the similarity but she has her own vibe.
She sounds like her
Ari's vocals are stunning but dude the trumpet on this track, and all throughout this album is spectacular.
IT'S MASEGO I BELIEVE
