The brief clip featured a close-up shot of Lizzo crying while looking into the camera, as a flute melody played in the background. The crying then turned into laughter, all before the singer stared dead-pan into the lens, with tears streaming down her face. The scene then ends with a date: February 28.
While Lizzo didn’t reveal if the upcoming release will be a song or a full-length album, she revealed, “I’ve been working on music for the last two years, and took my time and I did it right. The new era begins today.”
She then added, “I truly am coming to gag throats.”
Fans suspected something new was on the horizon when she said goodbye to her 2022 album, Special. “It’s the end of a very Special era. This album was my strut back into society after a hard 2020 & 2021. I wanted to help people turn up the music, turn down the lights and get a feeling they’ll be alright,” she wrote on Instagram on Thursday (Feb. 13) alongside the album cover. “I wanted to remind people of how they may be broken but still perfect in their own way. 12 songs, 68 shows, 14 countries, 3 continents and nearly a million voices later we saw our specialness. We got through it together. I’m proud of the accolades, the Grammys the Emmys the Platinum plaque… but I’m most proud of the Legacy I’m leaving this world— lyrics that uplift you, music w real instruments, a reminder to dance and that it’s okay to cry… and high vibrations! I thank God every day that this is my job, and I don’t take it lightly.”
She followed up with another post, a video truly bidding adieu to the Special era by spray painting “Bye B—-” over the album cover in red paint. See it here.
