Ari Lennox describes her own voice as “vulnerable but soulful; imperfect but pretty.” Her voice has been compared to that of Erykah Badu.
Referencing her artistry she explains, “Sometimes women are put in this box where we’re only supposed to talk about certain things, I want to be braver and riskier. I think people want to hear that kind of honesty and frankness.”
Ari Lennox said in multiple interviews that she is inspired by 90s and 2000s R&B singers, such as Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Bilal, Whitney Houston, Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill, Amerie, Ciara, SWV, Mary J Blige, among many others.
