With superproducers Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox behind the board, Ari Lennox earned the biggest hit of her career yet with 2021’s ‘Pressure.’

Undoubtedly looking to meet or beat that feat, Lennox has reassembled the dream team to help craft her latest single – the September 26-released ‘Vacancy.’

A sexual innuendo-laden, slow-burning groove, the new tune sees Ari drop no shortage of hints that she’s in the mood for the special man in her life to come fill the void in her bed.

“Got some walls that need paintin’, rearrangin’ / See them legs on the table, kind of shaky / Got some pipes that be leakin’, do you see it? / You can stay here for the weekend, no leaving,” she wails over the 70’s-inspired production.
