“Pressure” is the first single of 2021 from Dreamville star Ari Lennox, who has been hard at work on the follow-up to her critically-acclaimed 2019 debut album 'Shea Butter Baby.' The song-which was produced by Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, and Elite-is built on a sample of Shirley Brown’s late ’70s soul hit “Blessed Is The Woman (With A Man Like Mine).” On the track, Ari sings about the importance of applying pressure and being your most confident self.

I love how she acknowledges how she called her friend and she also named her friend … and said she wrote the heck out that song… (which she did) a lot of artist hate to acknowledge they didn’t write they hits…

@Social_Pugatory 2 года назад

@@TheSweetie223 If you don’t have an effervescent personality like her just say that! 😂 Ari’s personality is refreshing and that’s the OP’s personal opinion. She is super talented and beautiful with a great personality to boot. That does not mean you/your faves are lacking in that department. You interpreted it that way. Some people have great endearing personalities that a lot of people gravitate to. It’s innate. That’s ok too! No need to feel slighted. Everybody doesn’t need or deserve a trophy especially for personality. Because they are great in other areas. Nobody is perfect and y’all are weird for trying to social justice “personality”. Everything is not that deep. Sounds like “ALL PERSONALITIES MATTER”. 😂 This woman (Ari) IS talent and charismatic; why must that be made controversial? 🙄 Go outside and get some air people, drink some water, and stay moisturized. It’s getting cold out.
