Lizzo is back baby and her new single “Love In Real Life” comes with an epic music video to boot. Directed by Colin Tilley, in the bold visual, we see Lizzo recovering from heartache as she heads for a night out with her friends, only to discover that they’re slowly melting into an ominous, faceless mob.
I never thought I’d be typing this but Lizzo has boldly evolved, leaning into rock ‘n’ roll like never before. The track’s soft spoken word intro gives way to bright guitar and a breezy beat, illuminated by her instantly recognisable vocal delivery. Picking up the pace, wild riffing and a ‘boogie-down’ groove underline an unrestrained and undeniable refrain.
More importantly, this single means that there’s a new album on the way. Lizzo’s 5th album Love In Real Life drops soon. Eyes peeled.
