Lizzo (MTV PUSH)

When you love yourself, anything becomes possible. Channeling boundless self-confidence through a downright earth-quaking voice, colorful persona, and undeniable star power, Lizzo struts into the spotlight and steps up with a whole lot of sass, spirit, and soul. Embracing her vocal range like never before and celebrating herself to the fullest, Lizzo speaks her mind, censors nothing, and delivers an enviable level of honesty, pure passion, and fresh fire. “This is a way more confident Lizzo who believes in her confidence,” she exclaims. “For the last three years, I’ve been working on myself and learning how to love who I am. There were moments that would’ve completely defeated me when I was younger. Instead, I was able to not just survive, but thrive. This is the person who I truly want to be. It’s a self-filling prophecy ready for the world. I really found my voice. I love it. I love my body. I love talking shit, and it’s what I’m doing,” she laughs. Lizzo’s confidence shines on her debut album, Cuz I Love You, released last month. Delivering the truth, passion and vocal range her fans have come to love. “I want people to know this process is all because I love them—and because I love me,” she says. “It’s a double-sided statement. You can say Cuz I Love You to millions of people, or you can say it to yourself in the mirror. It’s about what you go through when you’re trying to love yourself in a world that makes it so hard. You can persevere and come out stronger on the other side though.” In the end, Lizzo’s message of empowerment and love rings true because it comes straight from the heart & we’re excited to help spread that message across MTV this month!
