Store Categories ARI LENNOX Shea Butter Baby / LP NEW VINYL / Dreamville 2019

In the case of Ari Lennox‘s debut album, Shea Butter Baby, Dreamville’s First Lady takes on inner and outer beautification elements and rewards listeners with the rich sounds of soulful R&B reminiscent of early 2000s Erykah Badu or perhaps, India Arie.

For many, the first introduction to the D.C.-bred singer was on 2015’s Revenge of the Dreamers II track “Backseat” with Cozz and on J. Cole’s “Change” off his 2017 album 4 Your Eyez Only, though she was also featured on Omen’s Elephant Eyes track “Sweat it Out,” before officially signing to Dreamville in 2015.

Shea Butter Baby essentially satisfies a thirst for the kind of rhythm and blues that feels good to spirit, much like a home-cooked meal after returning home from college for the first time. It’s a coming-of-age project, filled with honest words backed with real instrumentation and speaks for a generation of Black women who just want to be themselves — and clearly, no one, not Ari anyway, is waiting for permission.
