Lizzo is back: Here are 5 takeaways from her new album, ‘Special’

Summertime is here, and Lizzo’s meeting the moment with an album that’s ready-made for the heat.

Three years since her debut album, “Cuz I Love You,” she’s back with the follow-up, simply titled “Special.” Lizzo’s in love, so it’s only natural the topic takes up most of the album, soundtracked by colorful production that will make you want to move.

So far in 2022, Lizzo’s been busy — already, she’s started her own shapewear line called Yitty, hosted “Saturday Night Live” and launched a Prime Video show called “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.” As she told The Times earlier this year, though, she’s been looking forward to this moment, ready for the world to hear the music.
