If you’re not a fan of Lizzo yet, get ready, because she’s conquering the world one upbeat, body-positive track at a time. One look at the R&B superstar tells you she’s not what we usually see presented as sexy in the music industry, but sister is taking back self-love and adding a wink to tell us she’s been on this beat the whole time, we’re the ones who are just catching up.
Lizzo slayed the GLAAD awards last week in a mirrored body suit, bringing themes from the “Juice” video to life, and sang through some some major cardio with her backup dancers, daring anyone to body shame her. Just when you think you’ve seen the extent of her skills, she brings out “Sasha Flute” and shows off a quick flute solo, no bigs.
She’s also changing things up in Playboy this month, wearing fishnets, 500 carats of diamonds, and some bedroom eyes, offering up gems like “BEIN FAT BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL EVERYWHERE WHO GON CHECK ME BOO?!” The article offers insight on her rise to the top, her infectious self-love, and the way she’s trying to change gender politics. It’s worth a read.
Lizzo’s dropping an album, Cuz I Love You, on April 19th. And while we’re waiting, you can check out more of her bangers on Slacker Radio!
