Lizzo - 'Special'


Alex

Recommended Posts

I think "About Damn Time" is pretty solid and a damn solid lead single (do wish "Rumors" was on here, even as a bonus track), but "Special" is truly amazing. It's so sentimental yet Lizzo at the same time. I can't wait for the studio version and this album!

 

I have a friend who is second cousins with her, I should ask him how our girl has been.

I dragged Special when we first heard it but that performance really affected me? I had a truly horrible 2021 and I think I’ve mostly made it though and I feel like it was the right time for me to hear it and she sold the s*** out of it. Aw

I'm still flabbergasted/annoyed they had such a good instrumental with "About Damn Time" and then wasted it with no hook. Where is the A&R? Where are the professional songwriters? The song has no hook!! It wants to be a Chic classic circa 1979 but those songs had hooks.

Does anyone know if there will be a deluxe or target edition with bonus tracks?

Hoping she does curtains like Demi and Selena did in 2013, cause not even Meghan Trainor and Lorde that were bigger than her could handle arenas on album 2. :deadbanana4:

Not to the GP, CILY was her her first album to the mainstream.
