    There is nothing more satisfying than an R&B/Hip-Hop infused record performed by a rule-breaker female performer who is on track to redefine what being a superstar is supposed to be.

"Cuz I Love You" is joyfully filled with self-love and acceptance, confidence, depth, and sass, which are the trademark virtues of its creator Lizzo, who is becoming a breath of fresh air in a music market obsessed with physical perfection in its perfection yet no noticeable musical talent, something that overflows in Lizzo.

    I can usually tell whether or not an album is fire after one full listen. Just like Janelle Monae's "Dirty Computer", album, I enjoyed every single track. I can honestly say that the full album will stay in my "recently played" list. Each song reveals a portion of who she is. She is real, she struggles, and she succeeds. I Love This Album. She is Pure talent !

    it is nice to see the years of hard work Lizzo has put in her career finally converge to a full body of work. the record turns up the volume on what we all already knew and love about her.

    If you don't feel self-empowerment only staring at this album cover, probably you a'int ready to appreaciate this greatness. Ruling the year with this gorgeous work, Melissa proves us that she's not only capable to be hitmaker with an old single, but she has more skills in store for us. Flute, stage presence and charismatic as hell, Lizzo may be the new supreme that we've been missing for a while

    The album sounds so cohesive, and besides, it's really fun to hear!
    I must confess that I did not have high expectations for this album. And in a way, I think that's exactly why it gave me the freedom to really enjoy the album, I felt really stuck the songs and what they had to tell me. Just really really fun!!

    The great blends of confidence boosting pop, empowerment, and just overall the best energy, this album deserves more than what it got. Lizzo's best album proves that she's going to be the next up next artist. 2019 is her year. This is one of the only albums I liked on the first listen.

    This album is full of empowering masterpieces, Lizzo’s way to express her self love through words and rhymes just proves how capable she is to rule her world, not everyone is ready for her way to self love, but they better be cause nobody can stop her now.

    I think Lizzo showed her purpose, POWER. So electric, with so many musical references and a sample of her vocal potential.

    Lizzo has a lot to say in Cuz I Love You and sings in a fantastic and spectacular way about something that belongs to her: Her Body. An impeccable sound in genres such as Pop, Rock and Hip Hop

    This album is an electric blend of pop, hip hop, funk, rock, dance, and R&B, and is an absolute joy from start to finish. Not only are the songs well produced, Lizzo's vocals are very powerful. Despite incorporating so many genres into its musical composition, the album still manages to feel very cohesive, something difficult to achieve in many pop albums.

    Whoever wrote that one review saying that she's too fat and ugly is an idiot. This album is great.

    Early fans may mourn the lack of edge that this major label debut may have smoothed out, but everyone else best get their “Lizzo 2020” signs on the lawn.

    The 31-year-old bares herself and parlays stereotypical insecurities into liberating strengths, hurling bombs of empowerment.

    Lizzo is kinky and playful too, but the most sexy thing of all is her unlimited confidence in herself. She thinks big, dreams big, and achieves it all on this album.
