Sept. 25, 2019 | Bobby Carter -- When Ari Lennox entered NPR Headquarters to perform at the Tiny Desk, we soon learned she was a little under the weather. Draped in a long, leopard-print coat, she greeted the band and approached the desk. I asked her if she was in any shape to sing, and she assured me she was. "Oh, I'm fine and I'm ready!" With that, she slipped off her coat, took her place behind the desk and began her warm up.
Earlier this Spring, Lennox staked her claim not only on J. Cole's Dreamville imprint as the sole female artist but also in the upper echelon of R&B with her debut album, Shea Butter Baby. Her nuanced but explicit - and sometimes lyrically graphic - approach to seemingly surface-level emotions and situations immediately struck a chord with fans, while slowly moving to the top of my favorite-albums list for 2019.
From the opening riffs of "Speak to Me," her rich tone and vibrato drew the audience in, making the room feel small. The bonus in Ari Lennox's set is the glimpse you get of her bashful charm, which bought her much more leeway than a lot of us in the room expected. From the introduction of "Pop" to her NSFW call-and-response, to the song "New Apartment," her personality beamed almost as bright as her voice. The D.C. native told NPR's Michel Martin that's she's always been slept-on. Those days may be in her rear view mirror after the year she's having.

I first heard Ari in a movie called "The Photograph" with her track "Chicago Boy". I liked that song so much I had to find out who it was. After 50 years of rock and heavy metal this is the change I really needed. To old for the heavy stuff and no fan of country music. Ari has opened up a whole new world of music for me and I love it. Tiny Desk has opened that world even more.

She fine all the time 💕
“Hey, y’all welcome J. Cole y’all!” [Laughter] “sing Jay, ah!” Fabolous‼️✨
I just watched this for the trillionth time and I tried to LIKE it as if it was my first time.
She sooo wholesome. Hilarious AF.

Could it just be she has loose limp, naturally relaxed black hair. Let's stop trying to find out how to get her genetics, most of us need a texturizer not her regime or Shea moisture to be her and that's okay.

Shea butter products but she has natural curls
I’m so infatuated by her 🥰
She was sick here nd she still killed this performance everytime I go back to watch this performance, her aura, the jokes, the vibes everything is just beautiful nd perfect abt this 🥺💗
I like the she’s comfortable with being herself. A lot of new artists are usually guarded and try to pretend to be someone they are not.
“how many of y’all got y’all own spot?” thought she was finna sing backseat 😂😂

Ari Lennox is one of my top Tiny Desk performances. Love all of the songs she performed.I listen to her everyday!
The Queen of Dreamville, Ladies and Gents
“Speak to me” was a good one to open up with. Sets the vibe 🤙🏾.

Truth.
New apartment is my favorite song of hers. Her whole first album was a vibe 🫶🏽
That first song,,,,,,, EVERYTHING
Man. Her appearance, her charisma, her vocal range, her humor, her humility, her crowd control....this is what R&B needed. Thank you Tiny Desk.

When my dad was alive he loved watching this one video of Erykah Badu singing Tyrone Live. He loved the way she interacted with the crowd and how natural and funny she was. When Ari was singing New apartment I felt like I was watching a young Erykah. So talented and a joy to watch live.
The beautiful thing about Ari is she makes music for grown people. She maybe a woman but as a man I can relate to her content. In a way she has that appeal that Lauryn Hill and Amy Winehouse has. She comes off as authentic. She can capture a female and straight male demographic.

Why Ari be playing? Talking about “it’s not that good y’all” * referring to her tiny desk performance .. like what? The vocals? The comedy? The beauty? The band? Come on.., your fav would never do something so intimate.

@@Trini190 I agree. I love her sound but couldn't play it out loud at home in front of my kids so I won't be buying because of that.
All I needed was 'New Apartment' in my life and that's exactly what I got. SOOOO glad she performed that song!
