Ari Lennox – Vacany
Just in time for Halloween, GRAMMY-nominated singer Ari Lennox unleashes an exciting pair of surprises: today’s release of a brand-new single, “Under the Moon,” and the official announcement of her forthcoming third studio album, Vacancy, on Interscope Records.
The album, to be released January 23, 2026.
“Under the Moon” premiered on Apple Music, while Ari Lennox featured on the cover of the New Music Daily playlist on Apple Music. The single evokes classic Halloween imagery, laying a contemporary spin on the track’s seductive vintage R&B foundation as Ari depicts a carnal nighttime romance. She croons about her new beau, singing “Felt his suspicious mystique/something’s giving me the creeps/now I’m trippin’/I’m so smitten,” and caps the chorus with a mimic werewolf cry that displays a new dimension of her vocal talents.
Vacancy is Ari’s hotly anticipated third studio album, advancing the artistry and acclaim that began with her debut, 2019’s Shea Butter Baby, and second release, 2022’s age/sex/location.
The upcoming album’s recently released title track saw Ari reunite with GRAMMY-winning hitmakers Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox – the same team behind Ari’s Billboard chart-topping, RIAA platinum-certified “Pressure” – for a vocal showcase that centers her soul-stirring vocals as she yearns for more companionship.
