The Top 30 Albums Of 2019 (So Far): Lizzo – 'Cuz I Love You'

"Lizzo's Cuz I Love You will be an album that defines music in 2019." – Jessica Dale

Few artists have made an impact like Lizzo has in the first half of 2019. With her third album, and first major label debut, Cuz I Love You, the Minnesotan has caused waves around the world, spreading her message of self-love and empowerment.

Taking you from out-and-out bangers Juice and Tempo one minute to emotionally charged anthems like Jerome and the title track the next, Cuz I Love You won’t just be an album that defines 2019 - it will be one that defines a genre (if we can ever figure out where to actually place it). Honourable mention goes to the track Truth Hurts, which originally dropped back in 2017 but has finally gotten the kudos it deserves since Cuz I Love You dropped. For evidence, see Lizzo’s Rihanna-approved performance at last week’s BET Awards.
