Lizzo is utterly ridiculous. But also great fun. There is also a point to all or at least a lot of what she does. I am not her natural constituent but can listen to her current record Cuz I Love You and understand exactly why it should cause such excitement and why there's such a rush for concert tickets for her tour following her triumphant performance at Glastonbury.
There really isn't anything on the record that won't remind you of the obvious signifiers; Prince, Missy E. ,George Clinton, Outkast, Kelis, Janet, Janelle et al. What does it matter? It pushes all the right buttons and has a fabulous time and allows you to have a fabulous time too while doing so. Best in short doses, as it's relentlessly full on, some of it is spectacular, (listen to Jerome, that goes on my Song of the Year list), and the whole thing is just made for the charts.
