Lizzo is making a notable shift in her music career, blending her sound with rock 'n' roll elements, as she readies fans for a series of up-close-and-personal gigs. The Grammy-winning artist sparked excitement on Thursday with both a song release and the announcement of intimate performances at iconic venues. In her latest single, "Love In Real Life," Lizzo veers away from her signature style in an embrace of something more reminiscent of the rock genre. KTLA reports that she anticipates "putting some gas in 2025," according to her Instagram post.
Contrary to the vibrant energy of her new track, the music video for "Love In Real Life" begins with Lizzo's night out gradually morphing into a haunting experience; however, the mood takes an upswing as it concludes with a street dance. As described by Billboard, the video pays homage to Michael Jackson, with scenes that echo some of the late singer's iconic dance moves. The return to music comes after a two-year hiatus, her previous solo release contributing to the "Barbie" soundtrack in 2023.
After making waves with her announcement, Lizzo will now be hitting stages at three locations, bringing a personal touch to her performances. Fans can look forward to seeing Lizzo at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on March 12, followed by a show at New York's Irving Plaza on March 16, and culminating at Minneapolis' First Avenue. These venues carry historical significance, the latter being where Lizzo's career first took flight. According to an Instagram post by The Wiltern, tickets will go on sale on March 6th, with presale options starting earlier in the month.
For fans eager to witness Lizzo's latest sonic evolution, these concerts represent an opportunity to connect with her music on a more intimate level. The forthcoming album "Love In Real Life" is set for release later in the summer, promising fans new material that reflects the singer's latest musical exploration. With the album's leading single now available across all streaming platforms, anticipation is mounting to see how Lizzo's rock-infused sound will play out in her live performances.
