Lizzo announces new album BITCH

Lizzo has announced her new album BITCH, set to be released on June 5.

The American singer announced her upcoming fifth studio album on her birthday, April 27.

"Reclaiming the word BITCH is power - it's taking a label once used to diminish women and turning it into a declaration of confidence, and unapologetic self-love," said the four-time Grammy award-winning artist.

"So many incredible women in music have used the word for positivity like Meredith Brooks and Missy Elliott. It was only fitting to name my album BITCH because it has become my favourite word when using it on my own terms and because I am 100 per cent that bitch!"

The ‘Truth Hurts’ singer also shared that the upcoming record's title track, as well as its music video, will be released on Friday, May 1.

The announcement follows the release of Lizzo's latest single ‘Don't Make Me Love U’.

Lizzo had debuted ‘Don't Make Me Love U’ last year while hosting Saturday Night Live, as it was originally intended for the album Love In Real Life, which has since been shelved.

Away from music, Lizzo has written her first children's book Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin', set to be released on September 8.
