Lizzo - Cuz I Love You (2019) Hi Res

Lizzo kicked off what is sure to be an epic 2019 with the release of her acclaimed new single, “Juice,” available now via all digital music retailers and streaming services. The track is joined by a new companion visual, streaming now at Lizzo’s official YouTube channel HERE following its YouTube Live premiere earlier this month. In addition, that same day saw “Juice” played every hour on the hour on MTV Live and MTVU, along with two screenings on the Viacom Times Square billboard screens.

“Juice” has fast proven Lizzo’s most popular track to date, with close to 3x as many first week streams as any of her previous releases. What’s more, “Juice” was greeted with a range of worldwide radio play and unprecedented rave reviews, with Entertainment Weekly hailing the single as “the latest (and poppiest yet) from the infectiously poised 30-year-old artist, whose ascent in the hip-hop scene has been as rousing to watch as her live performances…Let ‘Juice’ be your introduction to an uplifting up-and-comer.” “From the first moments, it’s clear this will be a favorite and become the ‘juice’ that gets you through the year. Rolling out the track with an electric guitar reminiscent of Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream,’ Lizzo continues to release next-level bangers, making us all impatient as we wait for her next album.” “Great news everybody,” exclaimed British GQ. “We’re just four days into January and we’ve got the best song of the year, and it just won’t get topped.” Rolling Stone agreed, declaring, “Four days into the new year, Lizzo released the first great song of 2019. The Minneapolis singer-rapper-flautist specializes in propulsive self-empowerment anthems — feel-good songs about feeling good about yourself — and ‘Juice’ may be her finest yet, a near-perfect retro-funk nugget that would have felt just right on a mirror-balled dance floor in 1982… If life were fair, (‘Juice’) would be as big as ‘Uptown Funk.’”

2018 was yet another amazing year for Lizzo, as she was featured on several “Best Of” lists for her hit track “Boys,” including Time’s “10 Best Songs of 2018,” Pitchfork’s “100 Best Songs of 2018,” and Paste’s “50 Best Songs of 2018” and more. “Fitness” was also included in Paper Magazine’s “Top 100 Songs of 2018.” Highlighted also by a stellar live performance at Lollapalooza – Lizzo was named #1 on Time Out’s “The Five Best Things We Saw At Lollapalooza on Friday” – as well as a remarkable show at New York City’s MoMa PS1 Warm Up 2018 and multiple high profile appearances during New York Fashion Week. The year also saw a stunning range of media attention, spanning cover appearances on Galore and Teen Vogue’s “Pass The Mic Music Issue” to feature interviews including Rolling Stone, the New York Times, V, Glamour, and Allure, which named Lizzo among its “Beauty Disruptors: 12 People Changing the Beauty Industry for the Better.”
