Lizzois getting ready to drop some heat.
The three-time Grammy winner, 33, appeared onThe Late Show with James Corden— alongsideGabrielle Union— where she previewed new music and dished on her upcoming album. The project is set to drop on April 14.
Lizzo explained that she leaned on the critiques of her friends and family to make sure the album was “perfect” before releasing. “My mama was the last to hear it because she’s a Virgo and a harsh critic,” Lizzo joked. “She cried. She loved it.”
After teasing that fans will be able to hear her new tunes “soon,” Corden pulled out a surprise vinyl that read: “Top Secret Lizzo New Music 2022.”
“Did you know I got this?” Corden said, to which Lizzo replied: “Now I know!”
With Lizzo’s permission, Corden proceeded to play the new music, specifically a track titled “About Damn Time.”
As the jazzy beat played, Lizzo got up from her seat and danced as the crowd cheered on the never-before-heard snippet. Union and Corden joined her, and the three showed off some synchronized moves.
