Ari Lennox is back! The DMV-reared songbird has hatched news of her highly anticipated third studio album, ‘Vacancy,’ and has dropped its latest single, ‘Under The Moon.’
Full story below…
‘Vacancy’ has been confirmed for release on January 23, 2026.
To mark the moment, Lennox dropped the new single, which is a dreamy blend of 1950s doo-wop charm and her signature soulful sonics.
The song follows the album’s title track, produced by hitmakers Jermaine Dupri and Brian Michael Cox, who also crafted her Platinum smash ‘Pressure.’
Together, the two singles tease a lush and evolved soundscape that sees Lennox reclaiming her artistic freedom, after parting ways with Dreamville Records earlier this year.

She came out before either of those two.
Doesn’t justify her sounding like a shoutier version of either.
