    I really like when artists with powerful voices show it off, and that's what Lizzo did in this album. She has a great voice and she sure knows that... and that's it, the only thing I can say I liked about this album. It's not a bad record, but I don't see it as something I would listen to again.

    Juice is fantastic and Tempo is decent, while the non-singles just appear to try too hard, whether it be the vocal delivery or the theme of female empowerment.

    Lizzo's breakthrough album was also her best so far . It's an in brand declaration of positivity, self love and joy the exceeds what we've previously seen other artists do. Her hit single "juice" is a fun body positive flex that got the world to pay attention to a plus sized pop star.

It's a energetic reading of an unsatisfying neglectful ex who didn't treat her like how she deserved to be,no surprise so many of us resonated with it. The vocals on this album are next level R&B… Expand

    Early fans may mourn the lack of edge that this major label debut may have smoothed out, but everyone else best get their “Lizzo 2020” signs on the lawn.

    The 31-year-old bares herself and parlays stereotypical insecurities into liberating strengths, hurling bombs of empowerment.

    Lizzo is kinky and playful too, but the most sexy thing of all is her unlimited confidence in herself. She thinks big, dreams big, and achieves it all on this album.
