Ari Lennox Opens On Psychics, Finding Love in Brazil & Vacancy

Ari Lennox stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about her new album Vacancy, out now. She also addressed the viral moment that had the internet talking after she posted a confident photo that sent fans into a frenzy and had people rushing back to her song “Hocus Pocus.” Ari spoke about relationships and what she’s looking for now, including how she’s learned to recognize chaotic love versus the peaceful energy she actually wants.

Ari also reflected on taking several years to finish Vacancy, why she trusted her intuition and delayed the album until it felt complete, and the creative risks she took with her voice throughout the project. She also shared some unforgettable dating stories, including the moment a man told her he’d see her “if time permits,” and opened up about past relationship lessons that had Nessa in disbelief. Ari also talked about psychics predicting her future love life, why Brazil might be where she finds her person, and how her mindset about the music industry and relationships has evolved over the years.
