Why Ari Lennox is my favorite.
Somebody who has really impressed me over the years, is no other than the underrated genius that is ARI LENNOX. I was first introduced to her, when I came across her song “Night Drive,” off her album “Pho.” If you’re new to her, please go and check out her first album “PHO” and you’ll be happy you did, and your playlist will thank you.
Track 2, off PHO “Back Seat” is absolutely genius, and my favorite from her. It comes with a smooth 90′s concept with an unforgettable sound. Her voice gives Erykah Badu vibes, her style projects pure icon qualities a lot of artists are lacking now..; a distinctive style, and sound like no other artist has, she surely stands out in the crowd.
So it was no surprise when she released “Shea Butter Baby” that she hit the charts with a bang again. “BMO,” “Speak To Me,” “Up Late,” “I Been”, I could go on, and on, she consistently proves that when she releases a new project? She never disappoints. Ari is definitely in a league of her own, she brings a nostalgic feel with her music that the music industry needs more of. Just saying,
Only Ari Lennox can release a song about her new apartment, and it be a hit, not everyone can do what she does.

"An upbeat, fun song from the heart building on the phrase "the best ships are friendships." The final single from my upcoming EP." The Best Ships is the final lead single from my upcoming EP 'Take Care Of Yourself' releasing December 1st. It is inspired by a midnight drive through my town with my crew. I took the saying "the best ships are friendships," imagined my old beat up sedan car as a pirate ship, and made this fun, upbeat anthem. Without my friends the past few years I might have walked the plank. They picked me up, called me long distance, and told me to record some songs. They even invited me out to Los Angeles to make my dream version of this EP a reality. Those are the songs you're hearing now.

This is our first duet and the first single released from our Abbey Road Studios recordings. Ruth Picker - the songwriter - recorded Liam Isaac (from Toronto in Canada) and Muireann McDonnell (from Dublin in Ireland) at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London. It was a dream come true for everyone who travelled there for this recording and the first time we all met each other in person, having worked remotely over the course of the pandemic. It was a fantastic opportunity to record both Liam and Muireann in the same room at those iconic studios. Ruth wrote the song specifically for the two singers, knowing everyone would finally get together in person at Abbey Road. The song is about how we can bring out the best in each other, raise each other up and inspire positive relationships. Key lyrics from the chorus include "You lifted my arms when I couldn't reach, you raised my voice when I couldn't speak, you showed me what my eyes couldn't see... you bring out the best in me". Imagine a romantic dance to this soft love ballad or just listening to the chill vibe that will make you feel relaxed, inspired and positive about humanity. The Song Tailors is a creative project created by Ruth Picker - who writes both the music and lyrics. She works with singers & musicians from all over the world.

There’s a unique vocal effect that sets the scene on this nostalgic production filled with strings and grand piano elements. The song is enjoyable to music fans who love that grand ballad style.
I was inspired to write song “Completely Complete” after a twenty year battle of alcoholism. I had to overcome many obstacles prior to God bringing me into a point of total completion.
kill k3nny - ctrl alt delete
Release date: Nov 18, 2022
Genre: Pop Rock, Indie Pop
It seems like everyone is walking on eggshells, afraid to offend or be accused etc. As long as we come from a place of goodness, I think we should all strive to say what we mean and mean what we say regardless of how it will be received. CTRL ALT DELETE is my commentary .. This is my tongue and cheek commentary on cancel culture. if we come from a place of goodness, we should all speak our minds and be our most authentic selves regardless of what others think xoxo.
