Sobre el álbum
El tercer álbum de estudio, "Cuz I Love You", es la obra que transformó a Lizzo de artista de culto a superestrella global y que la consagró como una de las voces más importantes de la música contemporánea. Lanzado en 2019, este disco es una explosión de talento, carisma y amor propio que enriquece la discografía de Lizzo con una obra maestra del pop moderno. Por esta razón, su impacto cultural fue inmenso.
En primer lugar, el álbum es una fusión perfecta de todos los géneros que la artista domina. De hecho, en él conviven el soul de la vieja escuela, el funk, el R&B, el hip-hop y el pop más grandilocuente. La canción que da título al disco, "Cuz I Love You", es una apertura espectacular, una balada soul con una sección de vientos y una interpretación vocal de una potencia descomunal que deja sin aliento.
Además, el éxito del álbum se vio catapultado por el resurgimiento viral de dos de sus canciones antiguas, "Truth Hurts" (de 2017) y "Good as Hell" (de 2016), que fueron incluidas en la edición de lujo y que se convirtieron en números uno mundiales. Por consiguiente, el disco se convirtió en un fenómeno que dominó las listas durante meses. Mientras tanto, el single principal, "Juice", es un irresistible himno de funk-pop que celebra la confianza en uno mismo.
Así pues, el álbum cuenta con colaboraciones estelares como la de la leyenda del hip-hop Missy Elliott en "Tempo" o la del rapero Gucci Mane. En definitiva, "Cuz I Love You" es un triunfo en todos los sentidos, un disco que no solo está repleto de canciones increíbles, sino que también lleva un mensaje de empoderamiento y "body positivity" que ha inspirado a millones de personas en todo el mundo.
