Episode Transcript

[00:00:04] Speaker A: Welcome to another episode of Effective immediately. It's your favorite homegirl, Gina Views. DJ head is not here. It's just me holding it down. But we have a legend in the building. The beautiful Ari Lennon. [00:00:15] Speaker B: Thank you. You're beautiful. Thank you. [00:00:17] Speaker A: Thank you. How are you? [00:00:18] Speaker B: I'm great. I'm good. [00:00:20] Speaker A: Congratulations on the new project. [00:00:22] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:00:24] Speaker A: I was re listening to it again on the way in, and I just wanted to thank you for giving us a 10 out of 10amazing project tracks top to bottom. I love the album. [00:00:34] Speaker B: Thank you. Thank you so much. [00:00:36] Speaker A: You're welcome. [00:00:36] Speaker B: It loves you. I appreciate that. Thank you. [00:00:39] Speaker A: How did. How did you know that the project was complete? [00:00:42] Speaker B: Oh, I mean, it's funny because there were gonna be, like, three different versions of the project. So by the time I got to the end, I just felt like I had everything that I could ever want for the project. So I had enough soul, I had enough pop leaning records, I had enough R and B. I had enough expansive songs where I was trying different things. So I just felt like, okay, it's time. I'm good. It was a feeling, a release, and I just knew. [00:01:11] Speaker A: So, yeah, it's something about too. Obviously, I know you're an artist, so I know that you guys have, like, a whole planning process and, you know, creatively, but listening to it in order, it felt perfect. [00:01:21] Speaker B: Oh, thank you. [00:01:22] Speaker A: Like, it's not. I don't think that's a project that I can listen to on shuffle. Oh, my God. I need to listen to it in order. And it felt like every track went into the next track, like, just perfectly. [00:01:31] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:01:31] Speaker A: But as a fan of R and B, I was so excited. The moment I heard Jermaine Dupri's voice, like, it just felt, like, super nostalgic. And that's track two, Vacancy. [00:01:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:43] Speaker A: Tell me if I'm reaching, if I'm tripping. But you know how Aaliyah on Rock the Boat? She's not talking about a boat. [00:01:50] Speaker B: Oh, what is she talking. [00:01:53] Speaker A: She almost something else. She's not talking about a boat. [00:01:55] Speaker B: The pussy Rock the boat. Is that what this. What? [00:01:58] Speaker A: So I was thinking, when I'm listening to the second track, Are you talking about something else on Vacancy? [00:02:03] Speaker B: Oh, I'm definitely not talking about a hotel. [00:02:05] Speaker A: Okay. [00:02:06] Speaker B: I'm definitely not. I mean, we're not a hotel. I can't afford to run a hotel right now or own one or buy one. It's definitely about, you know, like, this space of just come in and, like, fill that space in every single way. [00:02:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:21] Speaker A: Twin flame. [00:02:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:22] Speaker A: You ate down. [00:02:23] Speaker B: Oh, thanks. [00:02:25] Speaker A: Love it. But have you met your match yet? [00:02:27] Speaker B: Oh, never has it ever happened. I feel like I get close, but the more I sit with myself, the more I realize. I think I have a thing for toxic energy. So I think there's still some more healing that I need to do. Because when I look back on all of these energies, it's a shame. I gave them so much time, and there were sweet energies that I didn't. And so now I see those sweet energies, getting married and starting families. I'm just like, dang, that probably could have been me if I recognized the security in those individuals at the time. And like, now I'm like, yeah, I'm definitely feeling that now. I'm aware that there's something going on. There's something wrong. [00:03:10] Speaker A: What do you think it is that attracts you to toxic energy? [00:03:15] Speaker B: I think they just seem really exciting at first. The chemistry is incredible. And they don't even always be fine. It's not even that. Like, they're sexy or something. I mean, well, they're sexy, but they don't be the finest things I've ever seen. It's just an energy. It's sometimes it's convenience. What we talk about a lot of those. The sweeter energies that I felt like weren't for me. I felt I could see myself falling asleep a little bit on the phone. So I don't know if that's like, if boring is good or not. Like, I'm trying to figure out what that means. [00:03:48] Speaker A: Like, it's the thrill. [00:03:50] Speaker B: Yeah, it's the thrill of it. Yeah. [00:03:52] Speaker A: What's your song? [00:03:53] Speaker B: Aries. [00:03:53] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. First yours. I'm a Leo. [00:03:55] Speaker B: Oh. [00:03:56] Speaker A: We the same person. [00:03:57] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Yep. Leos. Yeah. Yeah. [00:04:01] Speaker A: Your music feels very intimate. Has there ever been anything that you written that you felt like was. Might be too personal to be in music to be on a song? [00:04:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, a song that you've heard, like a song that's been out or something. [00:04:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Where you was just like, this probably is too personal for me to release it, but let me just do it anyway. [00:04:19] Speaker B: Ooh, a song that was too personal. Let me think. There's nothing that I released that I'm. That I felt was too personal. No, but there are things that I have that are just like, dang, if I drop this, this is gonna be a conversation for sure. But, yeah, nothing I fear that's out. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Have you ever regretted being transparent in your music? [00:04:47] Speaker B: No. Cause I think it's important to just live in the moment to be who you are. We only have a certain amount of time on this earth, and I just always want to be myself and my authentic self. And there are people who get it, and that's beautiful. And there are people who need that. There are people. Yeah. Who look forward to hearing that from me. And so, yeah, like, I gotta be real. Yeah. [00:05:09] Speaker A: Well, I added pretzel to my after hour playlist. [00:05:12] Speaker B: Oh, thank you. [00:05:15] Speaker A: But right now I'm practicing abstinence. [00:05:17] Speaker B: Oh, I'm sorry. [00:05:17] Speaker A: Well, not right yet. But when I get back in the field, that's gonna be my go to. [00:05:21] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? But, you know, there are people who say this is an album that's hard to listen to when you are abstinent or celibate. But I don't know. I guess I'm kind of fake celibate, Fake abstinent. And I be listening to sexy songs all the time. Keep sweat and don't. [00:05:39] Speaker A: You just can't do it drinking wine. [00:05:41] Speaker B: Oh, I don't drink anymore. Oh, yes, exactly. That's. [00:05:44] Speaker A: If you drink some wine, you gonna send that. Are you up Text. [00:05:46] Speaker B: Exactly. I think that's what's been helping me. No drinking for the last three years. [00:05:51] Speaker A: When you're creating music, are you creating it with the intention, like, this is gonna fit this scenario? Cause, like, my interpretation of your music doesn't mean that that's gonna be your intention for me as a listener. [00:06:02] Speaker B: Mm. I mean, what's the question again? One more time. Sorry, my bad. [00:06:10] Speaker A: Do you create the music with the intention, like, this is gonna fit that scenario? [00:06:15] Speaker B: No, I'm just creating it because, yo, if you put a sexy ass beat in front of me, I'm gonna talk about some sex. So tell these producers to stop putting these sexy ass beats in front of me. Well, then I thank you. But, like, you know, there's an amazing producer named Bongo. By the way, I adore him. [00:06:33] Speaker A: Shout out to Bongo. [00:06:34] Speaker B: He's amazing. And he made this beautiful beat to this beautiful record I have called Smoke. And that beat made me want to, like, beat somebody up. It made me want to storm. It made me want to, like, just be free and angry. And it was good to get that energy out. So depending on the beat is where I go. Of course, depending on how I'm feeling is. Is also what comes out. But yeah, I'm not really thinking of anyone and how they gonna feel and receive it. It's just. This is what I'm giving. Yeah, this is what I received from the Musicianship. And now here we are. [00:07:07] Speaker A: You know, track seven, Sophomore Era, is probably my second favorite on the album. [00:07:14] Speaker B: You like JD Yeah, I really do [00:07:16] Speaker A: like JD Confessions is my favorite album. But in Emancipation to Meet. Me too. [00:07:22] Speaker B: Oh, my God, me too. [00:07:23] Speaker A: Yeah. That's, like, top five. [00:07:25] Speaker B: Yeah, same. [00:07:26] Speaker A: But when I'm listening to Soft. Cause I've been trying to get into, like, my little, like, softness, but it's been difficult. And I don't want to project on the men and say, like, it's your fault that I'm so, like, a rough rider. [00:07:39] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:40] Speaker A: You know, like, because it's internal, you know, it should be me. I should accept that responsibility that is on me of who I, you know, who I show up as in relationships. But when I was listening to it and things you were saying, I was wondering, like, us as women, whose job is it to trigger or activate the soft girl error? Is it our. Do you think it's our responsibility or the man's? [00:08:02] Speaker B: I think the right energy will bring that softness out of you. I feel like certain energies will bring that spiciness out of you or the energy of. I have to do everything. I have to be the responsible one. I have to make sure certain things are taken care of. Because we're not getting the feeling that you're gonna take care of that. I really feel like that's just how it is. Like, there are certain things, secure individuals that will make the bossiest, spiciest woman chill. You know what I'm saying? So I really believe that. [00:08:37] Speaker A: But that's true. [00:08:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:38] Speaker A: And that boy put the ho. [00:08:40] Speaker B: Oh. In horoscope. [00:08:41] Speaker A: In horoscopes. [00:08:42] Speaker B: He sure did. [00:08:44] Speaker A: You read the caps down? Scorpios, Cancers, the Leos, you know, Virgo, Taurus. I don't think you got to all 12 zodiacs, though. [00:08:52] Speaker B: I did. You did. You got to find that bridge. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:55] Speaker B: Not so spicy. [00:08:56] Speaker A: Yeah, you're right. You're right, you're right. Has there been. Is there at least just give us just one zodiac sign that was, like, a 10 out of 10 experience for you. [00:09:06] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Trying to think of, I don't know, the sign of the guy who. What do you mean? Like, sexually or, like, overall good person Overall all around. [00:09:17] Speaker A: Every category, every box. [00:09:19] Speaker B: Oh. Oh, wow. You know, I feel like Aries men have been really kind and, like, loving. I've met a Taurus that was really, really sweet to me, actually, but I didn't date him. I wasn't in a relationship with that Taurus, but, like. Yeah. So I think it just Depends on the person. Because I've met really sweet Taurus, and I've met really, like, horrifying heinous ones, so. I don't know. It depends. Yeah, I would say, yeah. Taurus and an Aries. [00:09:52] Speaker A: I think the whole. [00:09:53] Speaker B: Oh, Capricorns. They're number one. [00:09:54] Speaker A: You said they was complicated. [00:09:56] Speaker B: I did. Well, as friends, like, all my guy friends are like Capricorns, my best ones. [00:10:04] Speaker A: So it depends on the nature of the relationship. [00:10:07] Speaker B: Maybe that's what it is. [00:10:08] Speaker A: That's probably what it is. [00:10:09] Speaker B: Because at one point in their life, I feel like some of my Capricorn friends were fuckboys to who they were dealing with. So. [00:10:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Is there a toxic lyric that you written that you stand by? [00:10:21] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:10:23] Speaker A: Oh. [00:10:24] Speaker B: Oh. Do you have any on the. I can't think of anything that. A toxic lyric that I stand by. I can't think of my songs right now. I feel like they're fine. Oh, waste my time. I think that whole record. I don't want anyone to waste my time anymore. I think that was a very youthful way of thinking. I. I'm 34. It's time. Like, I don't have much more time. I mean, maybe. I mean, I hope I have a lot of time, but not a lot of time to be wasted romantically. I want to start a family. I want a best friend. You know, these things can't happen with, like, that toxic energy that's not gonna go anywhere. [00:11:13] Speaker A: So what about. Are there any songs that you may perform differently now that you're more seasoned into your career than you did, like, earlier music from your catalog earlier on, Perform differently? [00:11:25] Speaker B: Well, I would say backseat. I know originally the way I would approach that record, I was. It was with fear. I was afraid to hit that high note. And now, like, it's so easy. But I think it was through touring, opening up for Cole all those years really strengthened my vocals, and my confidence got a lot better. And also, I had to learn a lot about my body and my voice, like, since then or just. Yeah, just in general, because found out I have acid reflux. I have allergies. So. California. I'm gonna. I have a more rough time singing in California when it's, like, when I'm outside and, like, the. In Dubai, I performed, and I was singing my butt off. And literally the middle of the show, the middle of the performance, my voice completely went out. Like, nothing was coming out. Like. And I believe it was the lack of sleep, that flight, and how dry the desert and all that stuff. So I've just learned a lot about my voice. The precautions I have to take, steaming the voice and make sure you get your rest. Drink water. I never. It was soda for me all the time. And so now I'm chilling with the carbonated drinks. Drinking water. So these were things. [00:12:42] Speaker A: How do you combat writer's block? [00:12:44] Speaker B: Oh, I honestly just gotta keep going to the studio. Cause there's always something to write about. I think different producers can bring it out of you. So switching it up sometimes also letting other people come in and, like. Right. You know, it's okay. I think the next project, I want to be a little bit more selfish and, like, get back in there and just really spill my soul. So we'll see what that looks like. [00:13:11] Speaker A: But, yeah, my group Chat loves you. [00:13:15] Speaker B: Really? [00:13:15] Speaker A: Yeah. And they wanted me to ask you. They said Gina asked Ari why she stopped making Instagram videos. Was that just a Covid thing? Ari used to be funny as fuck on the gram. [00:13:24] Speaker B: Oh. Because I kept getting dragged every time I would, like, go on IG Live. I mean, that just. It gets old after a while. [00:13:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:33] Speaker B: And then also, honestly, just growing up, and if you know me, you know me, like, I get goofy, I get crazy, funny, mad, whatever. But I feel like my people know that about me. They experience that about me. But putting myself out there on IG Live, everything is not always. It's not taken without a twist or a turn from, like, whoever is receiving it. So it's not as exciting to be all goofy or to be my natural self even. Like, people want to analyze, like, every ounce of my body and everything that I'm saying, my features, all these things, and it just gets old. Like, when you love yourself and you want to protect yourself, you don't want to put yourself out there to be obliterated. But at the same time, I'm in a space where I wanna stop giving an F, you know, like, what people have to say. So it's a battle. [00:14:29] Speaker A: You know, I go through the same thing, so I know what you're talking about. I can't say shit without. It's like, you're subbing this person, or you're talking about this, or you're. You know, so I feel you. But with that, how do you protect your peace in an industry that constantly critiques us as black women? [00:14:45] Speaker B: Right. Right. There's this woman named glotamo on YouTube and she talks about, like. Like, people having a kink for, like, humiliating, like, people with a platform. [00:14:59] Speaker A: Wow. [00:14:59] Speaker B: Yeah. And I was like, I never looked at it that way. [00:15:02] Speaker A: Never looked at it, like, some people [00:15:03] Speaker B: get off on, like, embarrassing people or, like, trying to humble people. I thought it was so deep that she said that. So I think I don't know the answer. [00:15:14] Speaker A: I don't either. I turn my phone off. [00:15:16] Speaker B: Turn my phone off. [00:15:17] Speaker A: I might respond to you, too. [00:15:19] Speaker B: I said, this year I'm not gonna do it. Okay, so what I have been doing, and people might be catching on, I will block you for, like, a month, and then I'll unblock you. But it's like, I don't want to. If I do happen to read my comments, because there are people who deserve for me to read their comments. They're sweet or they're being nice, or even if it's constructive criticism, It's a energy of just, like, you've listened to my album, not you're telling me I need to do this and that. And you haven't even listened to the album. You haven't even given it a chance. It's like, you could tell the difference in energy. So, like, I will celebrate those energies. But, like, people who are just like. Like, you could tell there's an evil streak in there. I'm just like, you. You go sit with yourself for a few months, and you just won't have access to me. Or, like, I'll restrict their profile so they can't comment. I won't ever see what you have to say again. You can say it. I'm never gonna see it. So, like. And then also just let my social media team do their thing if I need a break, like, I'm backing off of it. And I go to therapy. I'm not drinking, so I'm not as triggered. Anxiety medicine is cute, too, to calm that anxiety down so the emotions aren't as extremely felt. But I promised myself this year, like, I'm not responding to, like, people because it's about the album, and I want people to listen to Vacancy. And I know that every time I go off and I'm myself or I respond, people make it about that versus the music. So I'm just like, all right, well, let me let the music speak. So that's my response. [00:17:00] Speaker A: Did you know when you made Shea Butter Baby that it was just going to be such a cultural phenomenon for us? [00:17:07] Speaker B: Thank you. I swear I did not know and shout out to Matty P. He works with Dreamville. Every time I would be about to go on stage opening up for Cole and stuff, he would be like, come on, Shea Butter baby, you better get it together. He'd just Be trolling me, dragging me, and it would annoy the hell out of me, but, like, it would get me pumped to go on stage. And it just. The term shea butter baby just stuck with me. And so when I'm sitting on the couch, like, doing my hair, playing Sims, and my boy Elite is making this fire beat, I was like, okay, Shea butter baby. And it kind of just. Everything just kind of naturally happened. Like, this was a period in my life where I was excited. Like, this was, like, me also trying to prove to people, like, to my worth My. My. All the things that I can do. And the first time I met Cole was the first time I created FaceTime. That's how, like, on fire. I was like, oh, I want him to sign me. So I made FaceTime and all of those records. It just was easy. It was fun. Omen and Ron Gilmore made a beat, like. And that was bmo. Like, it was just easy. I probably wrote that song in, like, two minutes or something, and it was just fun. So all of these things kind of naturally happened. And before I knew it, it was. It was done. And the funny thing about that project, I didn't feel like it was done. I felt like, how can I release this? I need one more bmo. I need one more shea butter baby. Like, something. But, I mean, the people said it was done, and I never. I never knew it would. It would be so loved the way that it is. But I'm so proud because I wrote the whole thing. Like, it was just. That's all me. So it's the best flex I could ever have in my soul. [00:19:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:05] Speaker A: Congratulations. [00:19:06] Speaker B: Thank you. Thank you. [00:19:07] Speaker A: Okay, one more. I don't even have a question for this, but it just reminded me of, like. And then you said you 34, so I know, like, your. Your era of social media, like, when we was kids and, like, the MySpace time and stuff like that. But the title, age, sex, location. [00:19:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:22] Speaker A: Was that intentional to be, like, nostalgic from that era, the ASL time? [00:19:26] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:19:27] Speaker A: Okay. [00:19:28] Speaker B: MySpace, all that. And then. But growing up, and I was like 10 or, like 7 or 8 in them Yahoo chat rooms, talking to who knows who, like, and I was catfishing. I just googled beautiful black woman on Google, and it was this beautiful, gorgeous black woman with this beautiful, like, lovely weave. It was good lace front, especially for back then, really good lace. And I just. I was like, I want to be her. And she had on this green top, and I wish I could find this picture because it's like, she inspired me. So. Yeah. I was just pretending to be her. And I'm so glad I didn't die. I'm so happy I'm alive because. Yeah, I didn't talk to anyone long enough, I guess, to fall in love or to think this person was all that to get snatched up and die. So I'm really grateful. [00:20:20] Speaker A: Imagine getting kidnapped back then. [00:20:22] Speaker B: Oh, my God. There'd be no shit. We would save their baby. We would. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. [00:20:26] Speaker A: Do you remember your username? [00:20:28] Speaker B: No. No. Probably something with chocolate and sexy in it. I was so fed up. Yes. But the thing is, I was fast, but that was literally catfish. Cause, like, I'd be fast, but in real life, shy a guy, if he liked me in middle school, I couldn't even talk. [00:20:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:48] Speaker B: I couldn't even explain express like that. I liked him back. I was so shy. But on the Internet, I was this wild hoochie mama.
