Special by Lizzo
Special is an album by Lizzo, released in 2022. 6 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 24 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “About Damn Time”, on 15 lists and voted number one once.
Special, Lizzo's fourth album, landed on July 15, 2022, through Nice Life and Atlantic, and it's a glitter-ball party record built from disco, funk, synth-pop and hip-hop, with the Detroit-born singer and rapper working both sides of her talent. "About Damn Time" went out first, in April, and became her second US number one, a strutting disco-funk jam that went on to win Record of the Year at the Grammys.
Around it, the album piles up slick grooves, glossy synths and big, sunny hooks, from "2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)" to "Grrrls", "If You Love Me" and the title track. Critics liked it, it peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and went top ten in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, and it earned Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album.
