Ari Lennox Drops New EP ‘Away Message’
After dropping her Summer Walker-assisted single “Queen Space” earlier today, Ari Lennox decided to release a 4-track EP titled, Away Message.
With 14 minutes in running time, the project should hold fans over until the release of her forthcoming album, ‘age/sex/location’ dropping September 9th via Dreamville/Interscope Records.
Dreamville’s J. Cole took to Instagram a message from Lennox explaining what the new album meant to her.
“I asked Ari what this new album means to her,” said Cole in the caption. “I needed to know cuz I f*ck with it so heavy. What I hear is the highs, lows, joys and pains of dating life in 2022. But her answer made it even deeper for me. Appreciate you @arilennox Looking forward to the rest of the world hearing it.”
In her message, Lennox said the album represents “Transitional space. Very vulnerable codependent and validation seeking part of my life,” she wrote. “I remember the countless times I was kicked out of dating apps because they didn’t think I was really myself, it reminded me of those age/sex/location days where I actually wasn’t being myself in those chat rooms.”
