Ari Lennox is getting ready to release her new album, age/sex/location, next Friday. Ahead of the release, J. Cole dropped a conversation between him and Lennox on Instagram.
“I asked Ari what this new album means to her,” Cole wrote to fans. “I needed to know cuz I fuck with it so heavy. What I hear is the highs, lows, joys and pains of dating life in 2022. But her answer made it even deeper for me. Appreciate you @arilennox Looking forward to the rest of the world hearing it.”
In her response, Lennox speaks to the album being a transitional space, but also the trouble that she had on dating apps due to her identity leading to the album title.
