It appears the wait for Ari Lennox‘s much-anticipated sophomore album is almost over. Tonight, she has dropped a new single called “Hoodie.”
On the sultry new track, Lennox’s vocals reach new highs, as she asks to wear her man’s hoodie.
“Tangled up on your waist / Dreaming of how you taste / Underneath that North Face,” she sings over a seductive drum beat.
In the accompanying video, Lennox is seen enjoying a party with friends, grinding up on a man in a literal hoodie factory, and arriving at a grocery story, where she receives an unpleasant surprise.
This is the first we’ve heard from Lennox in a while, as she’s recently decided to stop doing interviews. She hasn’t posted much on social media, however, yesterday, she announced that she has completed her album.

Earlier this year, she shared a picture of herself by a whiteboard, with what appeared to be a list of 80 tracks she was considering for the album.

We now know the album is titled Age/Sex/Location, as she revealed tonight on her social media handles upon “Hoodie’s” release. The album is set to drop early next month.
Check out “Hoodie” above.
Age/Sex/Location arrives 9/9 via Interscope and Dreamville. Pre-save it here.
R&B fans have been eating well this year, thanks to releases from the likes of Giveon, Kehlani, and Syd and the upcoming release of SZA’s CTRL follow-up. However, one name has been missing from the lineup: Dreamville’s Ari Lennox, whose 2019 debut album Shea Butter Baby was also her last. But that may be changing soon, as the Washington, DC native recently announced that her next album is done on Twitter. “Are you guys ready??” she asked.

She’s also announced that “Hoodie,” the lead single for the new album, drops this Friday, August 12, sharing the devious cover art. The design sees Ari sitting atop a water tank in which she’s apparently trapped a man who struggles to get loose as she looks on.
The singer’s fans could use the good news after she’s had something of a rough year so far. Late last year, she ran into some trouble at the airport in Amsterdam, saying she’d been racially profiled and arrested and later remarking that she was not okay, even a month later. Then, an early appearance on a South African podcast led to the singer feeling disrespected and even expressing a wish to be dropped from her label. However, things have been looking up since Ari contributed to Dreamville’s D-Day Gangsta Grillz mixtape and changed her management. She certainly appears to be in a better place mentally, and hopefully for her fans, that translates into music that makes the wait worthwhile.
Ari Lennox is coming. The Dreamville star announced her sophomore album is complete, and the first taste of the collection of music will come this Friday.
“My album is done! Are you guys ready??” Lennox wrote on Twitter.
In a separate tweet, Lennox announced her new single “Hoodie” would drop on August 12. There is no release date for the album.

Enough is enough. I’m so sorry to all that are inconvenienced by this. Don’t know what this will mean for my career but I just can’t do it.”
