Lizzo

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&BGospelHip hop

Lizzo is a Contemporary R&B and Gospel act. Their catalogue also touches Hip hop and House. Their sound grew out of JAY-Z, Raveena, Speedy Ortiz, Kid Francescoli and Prince. Those roots explain a lot about how Lizzo arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Cardi B, Chlöe, Beyoncé, Ciara and Megan Thee Stallion, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into SZA, Destiny Chukunyere, Bastille, Secret Rendezvous and Loveless, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 54 connections around Lizzo, reaching back through JAY-Z and forward to SZA.
