Ari Lennox brought her soulful stylings to NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert.
Despite being a little under the weather, Dreamville’s First Lady delivered a stellar four-song set tracks f her critically-acclaimed debut Shea Butter Baby.
Backed by a five-piece band, the D.C. songstress opened with “Speak to Me” before continuing with the explicit “Pop.” “I know you’re in here and you’re a little young, but this next song is called ‘Pussy Pop.’ Here we are, Jesus,” she laughed while introducing the latter.
After performing “New Apartment,” she capped f her soulful set with her breakout hit “Shea Butter Baby,” which she dedicated to her “natural brown queens.” “I made it for us ’cause we sexy and fine and I feel like a lot people sleep on our gloriousness,” she told the crowd.
