Many of the biggest tunes channel Seventies disco and Eighties synthpop" and added "It's clear she isn’t an outsider any more. Lizzo's 2016 song " Good as Hell" was subsequently rereleased with a new remixed version featuring American singer Ariana Grande. Review: Lizzo is a three tie Grammy winner who after much build up finally drops this long awaited new long player.

NME contributor Nick Levine gave the album four out of five stars, observing that "Lizzo's overwhelmingly positive message, Special is sometimes a bit cheesy," before concluding that "Lizzo knows exactly who she is as an artist and what she wants to achieve: she's the bad bitch with an incredible talent for making people feel good". To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Her last album, the multi-Platinum selling, top-10 debut album, CUZ I LOVE YOU came back in 2019 and since then Lizzo has cemented her place as one of the most in demand live music performers in the game. The song crafting, lyrics and soulful nature of this album makes Lizzo a force to reckon with and a star to watch closely in future. The album was nominated for Album of the Year at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, contributing to Lizzo receiving the most nominations at the ceremony.

A good chunk of the album reads like a checklist of streaming-friendly social events such as birthday parties (“Birthday Girl”), bachelorette parties (“Grrrls”), and Pride afterparties (the very vibey “Everybody’s Gay”). There are far more hits than misses, with recent single 'About Time Now' sounding like a long-lost Chic classic and the sound of summer 2022. Grrrls" samples the song " Girls" performed by Beastie Boys, as written by Beastie Boys and Rick Rubin. On “Birthday Girl,” she devotes the entire bridge to the voices of other women, sharing their birthdays and astrological signs. In fact, when it comes to happiness, some of the most satisfying songs on Special—the ones that come closest to finding inner peace—are also the most subdued.

Like Lizzo’s breakout hit “Truth Hurts” before it, lead single “About Damn Time” has achieved a cultural ubiquity that few artists could hope to reach. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers.

At a time when the relationship between artist and fan is in flux with each social media platform update, Lizzo has made it a point to listen and learn, for the most part. Review: Three months after rapper turned singer Lizzo's major label debut first appeared on CD and digital download, Atlantic has decided to offer up a deluxe vinyl edition of the well-received set featuring three bonus tracks.
