    Lizzo's big label debut is interesting in that it's not interesting at all, where's the personality from Big Grrrl? The album alternates between Love on the Brain doo wop to Betty Davis funk. The results are mixed to say the least. The uptempos, Lizzo's usual specialty, are especially disappointing with their bland production, but there are highlight singles like Juice and Tempo.

Lizzo also makes the mistake of confusing screaming with raw emotion. Lizzo may love U, but her bright personality gets lost in the dark here. Expand

    She sounds like a fat goat and Truth Hurt is one of the worst songs of all time. Why America is letting her have a hit... Also her personality is just pathetic. She can't deal with criticism and she's obsessed with charts. You need to calm down, like can you just go away?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Is really bland if you ask me , there’s really nothing impressive in this album. I may not be an expert but I don’t have to be one when I know that this album its nothing compare to other female rap albums. When this album was released I had high expectations just to have them crashing down, This album was just really basic she didn’t change the “Rap game” ( to put it like that ) she didn’t have a huge impact and she really is what you call a one hit wonder.

    boring, boring, boring.
    uninspiring to say the least, should hardly be heralded as the “album of the year” by many outlets.
    pop music at its worst.

    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.
