After being announced as a Keynote Speaker for SXSW 2022 and sharing the trailer for her new show Watch Out For The Big Grrrls last week, Lizzo has discussed her follow-up to 2019's Cuz I Love You, describing it as "one of the most musically badass, daring and sophisticated bodies of work I’ve done to date."
Lizzo told Variety of her new album, "Broadly, I’ve been working on this album since the summer of 2018. It has evolved to a place where I’m proud. It’s one of the most musically badass, daring and sophisticated bodies of work I’ve done to date. I am not done. I’m still pushing out the hits, baby. And I hope that it is some of the most useful pieces of music to ever exist. All I want to do is help people through my music."
When asked if the tracks will be autobiographical, Lizzo replied, "I think that I will never be the kind of artist that’s like this album is about a story I wrote; it’s not real. I’m always just a very personal, like I’m-talking-to-my-friend-on- the-phone-with-really-good-music-behind-me bitch. I will say this. It is a love album. I’m shocked."
