Queen Naija And Ari Lennox Team Up For ‘Set Him Up’
The song finds the pair hatching a sly plan to set up an unfaithful man.
Rising R&B star Queen Naija and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ari Lennox have joined forces on the new single, “Set Him Up.”
The bold, infectious track finds the two R&B powerhouses having an honest discussion about the men in their life. Upon discovering that they’re both seeing the same guy, the pair hatch a plan to set him up. The song is a film come to life, a powerful and creative expression of storytelling.
“I had so much fun recording this song with Ari!,” shared Queen Naija. “We started recording it a while back and I’m excited we were able to come together and get it finished. I know a lot of women who have actually realized they’re dating the same guy. We thought ‘Set Him Up’ would provide a fun take on this crazy kind of situation!”
