It’s been a busy month for Ari Lennox. Last week, the songstress took to Instagram to announce that she plans to leave social media for good later this year. According to her, it’s taken a toll on her mental health, and it’s simply no longer worth it for her. She detailed her desire to be “free and complete,” and made it clear that the internet has no part in it.
Now, she’s unveiled a new music video, which fittingly leans into themes of mental health. The video for “Smoke” takes place in a mental institution, and shows Lennox fighting with staff, singing in a straightjacket, and more. The song itself features lyrics about not backing down from any conflict, but instead, doing the opposite by addressing it head-on.
