You've got to watch Lizzo's 'Tiny Desk' performance
SalonThere were 70 days between the filming and the ultimate release of Lizzo’s NPR “Tiny Desk Concert.” I know this because of the Twitter account “tiny desk lizzo,” which has been literally been counting the days since the performance: “It has been 65 days since @Lizzo recorded her @nprmusic #TinyDesk #WhereIsTheTinyDesk.” Reader, it was worth the wait. “There were as many people as we've ever had at a Tiny Desk concert, hanging on Lizzo's every word as she held court and waited for the cameras to roll,” wrote NPR’s Stephen Thompson. “She literally needed no introduction; one of us usually says a few words and gets the crowd to applaud for the start of the performance, but Lizzo was master of ceremonies from the second she walked in.” With only a four-piece backing band, Lizzo flawlessly belts “Cuz I Love You.” She follows up with the anthemic “Truth Hurts,” and “Juice,” which — though it was released in January — is the real song of summer. Lizzo’s powerful vocals and exuberant personality lend themselves to big performances, like her rendition of “Truth Hurts” at the 2019 BET Awards in June.
