Lizzo - Juice [Video]

Is your ‘feeling myself’ playlist looking a little lacklustre? Allow Minnesota’s Lizzo to take care of that for you. Having spent the best part of the last ten years building her reputation as one of the industry’s sassiest, hardest workers, ‘Juice’ sees her in full soul-glo mode, bringing a touch of her high-octane, leg-kicking, flute-honking live show to record.

It may be something of an 80s pastiche, but it’s message is timeless – championing confidence that doesn’t seek to dim anybody else’s light in order to shine. A natural thematic extension to ‘Good as Hell,’ it sits firmly within her pantheon of nail tapping, fun-loving pop, begging the question if you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? If there’s any justice in our crazy world, 2019 should be the year she finally gets the props she deserves.
