On Monday, Ari Lennox released a new song called "Cognac Eyes."
She alerted her Twitter followers to this surprise development with a notice that it would be out in "20 minutes" on a "secret SoundCloud page" that her label (Dreamville) isn't aware of. Seeing as how 20 minutes isn't a very long time, she updated followers shortly afterward to let them know it had been posted:
A link wasn't provided by Lennox, but the song was found by Hip-Hop-N-More. That outlet adds that the new release was produced by her frequent collaborator, Elite, and that he left a comment that said: "what up secret soundcloud fam, glad you found this!!!! Lil fun fact me and ari made this the same weekend we made “Whipped Cream” in Cary, NC !”

In addition to "Cognac Eyes," there are a few other songs posted to the SoundCloud account from Lennox and Elite. There's "Manchester Boy," "Waiting," "Pikachu Attack," and "you gibberish."
