After a long wait, a few singles and some controversy, Lizzo has released her latest album, ”Special.”

The 12-track project is the first full-length album since Lizzo’s “Cuz I Love You” album. This project spawned the current Top 5 single “About Damn Time,” along with the newly released single “Grrrls,” plus “Special,” a song Lizzo performed at SNL.  

The now Emmy-nominated, Grammy-award-winning artist also delivered a special message at the end of her album.

1. ‘The Sign’
