After a few listens, these are the tracks I'm claiming: 

 

Birthday Girl 

Special 

2 Be Loved 

Naked 

Break Up Twice 

If You Love Me 

 

6.8/10

Is there a link to the today show concert?

“2 B Loved” and “Special” should be the next singles

some songs should've really stayed in the drafts  2 Be Loved is great at least 

really not into this, feels way too milennial/RA/mom-pandering without the quality of CILY

 

CILY remains superior but this had a few songs I liked (Special, ADT)

Coldplay, If You Love Me and Special are her best songs

Up to #12 on Apple

 

Im scared for her for the 1st week numbers 

Special could be a smash not sure about the rest 

I wish there were more disco bops

Is it tanking?

I wasn't able to connect with any song. Some I liked but not strong enough to feel the urge to replay them. I'll give a couple more listens eventually. 

Ok wait this is actually pretty good

There is nothing special in this album, was expecting better songs

Unless you're personally profiting off of her numbers, you shouldn't be scared for/of them, my friend . The music >

Didn’t like this on first listen, a lyrical regression from CILY in my opinion. The choruses were particularly weak and repetitive. I might give it one more listen but I’m not excited about it. 2 Be Loved, Birthday Girl (not lyrically tho) and Coldplay were probably my favourites outside of About Damn Time, which was absolutely the correct lead single choice (and the only option)

Yep, still not top 10 there

Has anyone else noticed the irony that Maggie dropped this song today?

 

 

2 Be Loved and Special are soooo good!

Love Everybody's Gay. A lot of the other songs are way too on the nose with the self empowerment stuff lol.

This album feels so uneventful  I love Lizzo but there is literally nothing about this that is artistically profound or even interesting. It’s just so uninspired and generic. 

 

There are a couple of songs on here that could be hits though. 2 Be Loved sounds like radio fodder. 

Fantastic album! Loved it from start to finish.

There are a few goods songs, but overall I was super disappointed, especially after her music pre top 40 fame.   Maybe I need to listen again

 

I was shocked when she said she wrote 170 songs for the project, these were the best tracks?

 

2BL is a huge smash though, best song on the album

I think with this album she’s really trying to secure her place and deliver hits. It’s the Katyprint.

Special and 2 Be Loved are clearly the remaining singles. If even one of them can become another hit for her than this era will do well overall and the album will hit platinum
