Grammy-nominated singer Ari Lennox ramps up her 2025 run with the release of her third studio album, Vacancy. With sweet and vivacious tracks "Soft Girl Era," and vocally vibrant tracks like "Under The Moon" Ari's step into her divine feminine is expressed throughout the album. Vacancy reflects both an empty space and a new beginning – a recurring theme in Ari's journey. Ari now steps into a new chapter ready to fill the space with a new love, new life, and new experience.

Great  Cover is a little simple

But sis looks good and it fits with the others

So far:

Under the Moon>Vacancy>Soft Girl Era

Under the moon is so good. I want some weirder tracks though. I miss her new apartment type songs. 

cover is amazing, it goes so well with the rest of her discography and she looks fantastic as usual

Her voice is something else

Love that this feels like a return to the SBB vibe.

are you my twink flame?

Loved the album. Sounds more confident than her first two.

The singles were cute, but I think I'll end up liking some of the album tracks more, especially the more jazzy ones.

Amazing intro btw.

really good album, deep strokes, horoscope, 24 seconds and company highlights, but i think this album will get better with time

I enjoyed my first listen. She's doubling down on the modern R&B girlie sound opposed to her new age neo sol sound of Shea butter baby.

However her voice is always gonna have a neo sol tinge to it [complimentary]. I do think this is her best album off a first listen with potential to grow even more.

the end of twin flame, cool flame and hocus pocus are my favs.

This 1-2 punch

I love this album, the second half is amazing.

Horoscope is such a highlight.

Mobbin in DC (love the callback to Chicago Boy on this one), Twin Flame, Cool Down, and Horoscope were my faves on initial listen, but overall it's very cohesive and smooth. Soft Girl Era sticks out like a sore thumb but I get why they needed a tempo boost in the middle so I'll let it slide lol. Is it better than a/s/l though? I'm missing a song on the same level as Mean Mug / Leak It but this album is defo more consistent so maybe it'll dethrone it eventually

Great album, she has my attention now

Damn this album is so good from start to finish. I had been underrating her as a vocalist but she is one-of-a-kind. I even got on board with Under the Moon.

I really like High Key ... you can hear Tommy Brown on there; sounds like something he'd give to Ariana Grande (in a good way). Horoscope is probably the album highlight for me, like a lot of folks have said.
