Audiomack puts together a playlist of the most essential Ari Lennox tracks.

Ari Lennox is Dreamville’s not-so-secret songstress weapon. With a voice like honey and a pen that is sharp and affecting, Lennox’s music is equal parts touching and empowering. Ari is no stranger to leaving her heart out on wax, and it’s that particular vulnerability that has fans falling in love with her single after single, line by line. To get you familiar with the Dreamville singer ahead of her forthcoming album, Audiomack has put together a playlist of the essential Ari Lennox tracks currently moving music forward. You’re welcome.

Of course, we’re featuring her excellent single “Whipped Cream” alongside the Cozz-assisted “Backseat.” Her classic “Backwood” gets a spot next to the J. Cole-assisted “Shea Butter Baby.” Each of these tracks highlights Lennox’s silk-like presence and her uncanny ability to tap into the minutia of universal struggle and make it personal to herself, and equally personal to her fans. There’s a sly beauty and ephemera to Ari Lennox’s approach, making her a one-of-a-kind talent. Press play to discover your new favorite track from your new favorite singer.
