Lizzo Teases She’s Working on New Album

Lizzo, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson, is she's working on a new album, which will seemingly focus on the singer's mental and emotional health.

The singer-songwriter took to social media to share a reel on Instagram. The clip doesn’t reveal much, but its caption is a lot more telling for fans of her music.

“I wasn’t gonna post this on [Instagram] but 2021 me would be soooo proud of 2024 me. And I’m NOT only talking about my body if yall only KNEWWWW what I’ve done for my mental & emotional health in the last year… wheeeew don’t worry imma write a album about it," Lizzo wrote.

The tease comes just days after the singer-songwriter announced that she has landed in Bali, Indonesia, and will be taking a “gap year”. 

In a video showing the singer taking a moment outside in the pouring rain dressed in a black swimsuit, Lizzo captioned the post: “I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace”.

Lizzo is no stranger to hiatuses – earlier in March, the singer declared ‘I QUIT’ in response to being “dragged” online.

The singer clarified days later she wasn’t quitting music, saying she meant “I quit giving any negative energy attention. What I’m not gonna quit, is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting the people, ’cause I know I’m not alone.”

Lizzo’s last album comes in the form of 2022’s "Special".
