It’s been a while since Lizzo blessed us with some new music and she’s finally gearing up for a comeback. Her fourth studio album Special is set to hit the shelves in a few months and here’s everything we know about it so far.

Release Date

Special is scheduled to be released on July 15 through Nice Life and Atlantic Records. It marks Lizzo’s first studio album since the release of her Grammy-winning record Cuz I Love You in 2019, which spawned hit singles “Truth Hurts” and “Juice”.

Lizzo’s Vision

Lizzo discussed her vision for this album with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily and said it’s all about turning fear into love.

“I think that the music really is going to speak for itself. I’m writing songs about love from every direction, and I hope that I can turn a little bit of the fear that’s been running rampant in this world, energetically into love. That’s the point,” explained Lizzo.

Tracklist

Lizzo teased the release of her new album by dropping a music video for the lead single “About Damn Time”. She performed it live, together with the song called “Special”, during a recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, so it’s safe to assume they’ll both the featured on her upcoming album. The rest of the tracklist is yet to be unveiled.
