Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Lizzo celebrates birthday by announcing new album
Caption: Lizzo celebrates birthday by announcing new album. Returning to Instagram on Monday, the Juice hitmaker marked her special day by revealing that she has named her fifth studio album B**ch. The offering is set to drop on 5 June. ”HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! To celebrate I present to you - MY NEW ALBUM B**CH COMING JUNE 5TH," she wrote. "Wanna get me a gift? Pre-order my album baby!!!!”. Lizzo also shared the cover art for the album, which features an image of a manicured hand holding up a cutout of the music star in place of a middle finger. Meanwhile, the Cuz I Love You singer is scheduled to unveil the album's title track, which interpolates Meredith Brooks' 1997 song of the same name, on Friday. In a statement, Lizzo explained how she wants to reclaim the meaning of the word “b**ch”. "Reclaiming the word B**ch is power - it's taking a label once used to diminish women and turning it into a declaration of confidence, and unapologetic self-love," she shared. "So many incredible women in music have used the word for positivity, like Meredith Brooks and Missy Elliott. It was only fitting to name my album B**ch because it has become my favourite word when using it on my own terms and because I am 100 per cent that b**ch!”. Lizzo has several other projects in the pipeline. She is set to release a children's book titled Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin' in September and is to play musician Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the upcoming biopic, Rosetta, from Amazon MGM Studios.
