During the first of three sold-out nights at the Hollywood Palladium, Lizzo preached a gospel of self-love, confidence and living your best life.
The 31-year-old Houston-born, Minneapolis-based rapper-singer and classically trained flutist named Melissa “Lizzo” Jefferson is pop music’s patron saint of self-care; a woman whose sole mission is delivering messages of self-love, confidence and living your absolute best life.
Hillary Clinton has quoted her lyrics, Barack Obama plugged her on his summer playlist and Beyoncé made it a point to catch her live showAnd with over 1 billion streams, a record-breaking No. 1 hit in “Truth Hurts” and a peppy, crowd-pleasing LP “,” she’s sure to find herself on multiple year-end lists and a major contender for the upcoming Grammys, including a lock for a best new artist nod.
The church of Lizzo is one of blissful liberation and self-care. She’s a sweat-soaked preacher delivering her message through witty, razor-sharp testimonies. Her music is a pastiche of gospel-soaked soul, shimmering disco-pop, funk-rock inspired by fellow Minneapolitan Prince, southern blues and Missy Elliott’s brand of body jolting rhymes. She ran through bluesy R&B , disco-funk fusion , trap-influenced hip-hop and sticky dance records with her foot on the pedal the entire night.
