Lizzo basks in femininity and self-love, boasting on recent single “Truth Hurts” that “I’m 100% that bitch.” Alternating singing and rapping atop equally catchy dark pop, playful hip-hop, and soul, she preaches confidence through smart, cheeky lyrics: “I moisturize daily, I am my inspiration.” The Houston-born, Detroit-reared breakout released debut Lizzobangers in 2014, then signed with Atlantic for 2016 ode to black women, Coconut Oil. – Isabella Castro-Cota
