Ari Lennox is leaving no vacancy for R&B music in 2026.
The neo soul songstress released her third album, “Vacancy,” on Friday – one of the first major R&B releases of the new year and her first LP since 2022’s “age/sex/location.” The 15-track, 51-minute album leans heavily upon Lennox’s past lyrical themes about sex and relationship woes while adopting a more jazzy sound than her previous work, complete with rich saxophone throughout.
