Lizzo unveils new album 'Bitch' set for June release
The singer says the title reclaims a word once used as an insult
Lizzo has unveiled her third studio album, Bitch, marking a bold new era in her music and message as she embraces empowerment and self-expression.
The Grammy-winning artist announced the project as she celebrated her 38th birthday, confirming that the album is set for release on June 5.
In a statement accompanying the reveal, Lizzo explained that the album’s title is a deliberate reclaiming of a word historically used to demean women. She described it as a symbol of confidence, strength and unapologetic self-love.
“Reclaiming the word ‘bitch’ is power,” she said, emphasizing her intention to transform the term into a positive and empowering identity.
The singer also credited earlier artists for reshaping the narrative around the word, citing inspiration from Meredith Brooks’ hit song of the same name, as well as trailblazing performers like Missy Elliott who have embraced bold language in their work.
Known for her outspoken personality and body-positive messaging, Lizzo’s latest project signals a continuation of her signature style.
While further details about the album remain under wraps, Bitch is already generating buzz as one of the artist’s most unapologetic and provocative releases to date.
