‘Vacancy’ Era Ari Lennox Hosts ATL Album Listening Party
Everyone's favorite “Shea Butter Baby” recently set Atlanta on fire with a listening party for her awesome new project, complete with celebrity cameos, panoramic rooftop views, and her signature sound that keeps fans enthralled forever.
Ari Lennox was spotted at Atlanta's on Tuesday RETREAT by The Gathering Spotwhere she marked the release of her third studio album, Vacancy.
Joining the Grammy-nominated singer as the stunning rooftop event were industry heavyweights and cultural tastemakers, including So So Def founder Jermaine Dupri, cultural curator Kenny Burns, David Banner, Gathering Spot owners Ryan Wilson and TK Petersenand Grammy-winning songwriter/producer Bryan-Michael Cox.
The evening's guests were given a first listen to the album that signals the sophisticated new chapter of the singer, which she has defined by “creative autonomy, confidence and growth” after a three-year recording process.
The album's standout tracks include Ari's most recent release, “Twin Flame,” produced by Tommy “TBHits” Brown and Leather Jacket, as well as the title track “Vacancy”, which reunites her with her album collaborators, Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, the forces behind her Billboard-charting, RIAA platinum-certified hit “Pressure.”
Inside RETREAT, Atlanta's vacant cultural sanctuary that has quietly hosted icons like Ludacris and Usher, the evening included not only music, but the down-to-earth baddie connecting with fans, signing memorabilia for Hip-Hop historians NuFace, and happily pose for pictures.
