“Get Close,” the new offering from Ari Lennox is a sultry R&B track that blends smooth vocals with a laid-back groove. Produced by DZL and WU10, the song stands strong from the get-go with its dreamy, atmospheric introduction, setting the stage for Lennox’s soulful delivery.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a budding romance, with references to New York pizza, a Coke Zero, and playful nods to musical preferences (“You like Tupac, I like Janet”). Lennox’s clever wordplay and infectious charm shine through. Also, she creates a relatable narrative that invites listeners to join her in the journey of connection and intimacy.

Hypnotic Quality

The chorus, repeating the mantra “Get close, need you close, so close,” serves as a catchy and irresistible hook. Also, the repetition adds to the song’s hypnotic quality, reinforcing the theme of intimacy and desire. The post-chorus section, with its plea for closeness, builds on the emotional intensity, creating a memorable sonic experience.

The production, overseen by DZL and WU10, shines a light on their collaborative quality. The instrumentation allows Lennox’s vocals to take center stage. Manny Marroquin’s mixing expertise ensures a seamless blend of elements. Also, Timon Adams’ recording engineering brings out the warmth in Lennox’s voice. The mastering by Zach Pereyra adds the final polish to the overall sound.

Ari Lennox’s talent as a songwriter and vocalist shines throughout “Get Close.” Her ability to convey emotion and tell a story is complemented by the skillful production and engineering that brings the track to life. As the first female artist signed to J. Cole’s Dreamville Records, Lennox continues to carve her niche in the R&B landscape, and “Get Close” is another compelling chapter in her musical journey. Released on November 17, 2023, the track is destined to become a favorite for fans of contemporary R&B.
