Pressure - Ari Lennox - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Alt-R&B star Ari Lennox was the first female artist to score a deal with J. Cole's illustrious Dreamville Records, making an entrance with her 2016 debut EP, Pho, and stirring up even more interest with her debut, critically acclaimed studio album Shea Butter Baby, (2019) . The LP made it onto to multiple end-of-year best-of lists and went to Number 67 in the US. Following a string of singles and a Shea Butter Baby remix EP in 2020, Ari Lennox marked 2021 with neo-soul knockout "Pressure," which was produced by Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, and Elite and assembled from a sample of Shirley Brown’s 1977 soul hit “Blessed Is The Woman (With A Man Like Mine).” The empowering track sees Ari Lennox extol the virtues of self-confidence ("Now you textin' me, you know I won't reply (Reply) / Why you ain't fuck with me when I wasn't this fly (Fly) / Now I'm on top and now I'm ridin' sky-high (Pressure) / Don't need nobody but I'll take you down tonight.”)
