Lizzo and SZA hit the studio to work on new music
Lizzo and SZA are collaborating on new music for Lizzo’s upcoming mixtape. SZA teased the project on social media. Recently, Lizzo and SZA both hit the studio hard to work on their latest tracks together. In a 2023 interview with UPROXX, SZA said of their friendship: “Me and Lizzo, we’ve been friends since, like, 2013, but it was very organic and very random. One day we were on the same tour, and I was like, ‘We’re about to drive out to Lake Michigan, do you want to come?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, let’s go.’ And then we just got drunk and hung out, and we kept doing that. As our lives and careers progressed, we kept talking and hanging out. The other day, I went over to her house. My tummy was hurting because I ate too much, and she gave me a muumuu. We just laid in the yard and did nothing, and I was like, ‘Yeah, this is what the f*** friendship is about.’”
Lizzo recently completed work on her new album Love in Real Life. She expressed frustration over negative reviews of her single Still Bad. Interestingly, Lizzo and SZA also hit the studio to ensure the music met their standards. During these sessions, Lizzo and SZA worked hard on collective artistry.
Lizzo wrote on X: “Saying my brand of ‘poptimism’ doesn’t work in a ‘post Covid world’ is a lazy take … As if I didn’t release ‘about damn time’ post pandemic …
“As if I didn’t write [her song] ‘About Damn Time’ to be a post lockdown anthem to inspire us to get outside and together again. And was successful at it btw …
“Same people saying my music is ‘too optimistic’ would’ve been real mad in the 60s at James Brown and Motown … “Still Bad is a break-up song with the world. It literally starts with me saying: ‘I’m bouta throw my phone away’ it’s a call to action for the negativity we experience on our phones. We need to disengage and recenter. The girls that get it, get it …
“In the music video I’m literally taking my power back from the ‘birds’ (tweets) that tried to keep me down with negativity …
“I think seeing and hearing a black woman make real music with radical joy triggers miserable people … but I follow in the footsteps of Janet [Jackson], of Funkadelic, of Earth Wind and Fire … nobody’s doing it like me for Us. And I stand on that.”
