Ari Lennox Details ‘Shea Butter Baby’ LP, Unveils Sultry ‘Up Late’ Song
Ari Lennox has announced the release date and track list for her forthcoming album, Shea Butter Baby. The R&B Dreamville signee’s debut full-length LP will arrive on May 7th and it’s available for pre-order. She also unveiled its sultry new single, “Up Late.”
The new track finds the singer lustfully crooning about a late-night encounter. “Make your way to North Hollywood/Target lingerie,” she sings over Maségo’s intertwining, flirty saxophone melodies. “Kissing your lips/Dipped in backwoods tips/I been crushing on you.”
The single follows her previously released LP song, “Whipped Cream,” and the J. Cole-assisted title track, which originally appeared on the Creed II soundtrack. In addition to her label founder’s collaboration, the 12-song album also features labelmate J.I.D.
