The climax to spooky season is upon us as Halloween looms in the very near future. While everyone is preparing to fright the night away, we’re worrying about what the best soundtrack for the night will be. One newcomer to our playlist is “Under The Moon,” the latest release from our fave Ari Lennox. The song, with its vivid imagery and scary allusions, is a perfect addition for a playlist meant to trick or treat. Just ahead of the holiday, Ari amps up the horrifically romantic vibes with a video for the track.
The visual begins in a pretty normal fashion. We see Ari looking absolutely gorgeous with luscious curls and a curve-hugging, blood red 'fit. She's seated at a diner table with a handsome suitor ready to enjoy her company. However, there is something off about everything. For one, he requests a bacon cheeseburger with no bun, no lettuce, no tomato, no onion and no cheese. Secondly, he also makes the odd request that he not be given any silverware. Alrighty, then.
If that clue wasn’t enough for you, the date keeps getting stranger and stranger as the moon rises in the sky. Her date’s nails suddenly become claws and his eyes flash blue and animal-like. It’s enough to have Ari trying to figure out what’s going on. However, looks can be deceiving, as the singer soon reveals that she has a hidden secret of her own. We won’t reveal the twist that the video pulls, but it’s one that perfectly fits the sexy and macabre vibe the video has going for it.
The video for “Under The Moon” is a frightful tease of what’s to come from Ari Lennox in the near future, with her new album Vacancy set to bow on Friday, January 23rd. Get ready for a scene that will make you howl when you watch the video for “Under The Moon” right here. Then make sure you pre-order Vacancy before its arrival.
