Paint On This Design

Ari Lennox “Deep Strokes”

It’s a slow jam called “Deep Strokes;” you know what it’s about. But still, I appreciate Ari Lennox’s commitment to a flimsy double entendre. Sure, it’s about painting! Literal painting. Your walls have been looking kinda empty these days! And you know, the body is something like a canvas – of course you want to get some paint on it. Makes sense! Lennox’s kayfabe makes it funny, but also keeps this gorgeous ballad from dipping into “joke song” territory. There might be a wink in the lyrical conceit, but everything else about the song is earnest and straightforwardly sexy.
