Lizzo<\/a>\u2019s upcoming third major label album Bitch<\/a> <\/em>is set to arrive this summer \u2014 but she doesn\u2019t expect you to know that.<\/p>\n Though years ago she dominated the charts with hits like \u201cAbout Damn Time,\u201d \u201cJuice,\u201d and her No. 1 hit \u201cTruth Hurts,\u201d a lot has changed in the music landscape. Particularly, artists are relying heavily on platforms like TikTok and social media to promote their upcoming singles and albums. But the inner workings of these social channels have proven frustrating for many artists, including Lizzo.<\/p>\n In a TikTok posted on her page on Tuesday, May 12, the Grammy-winner expressed her disdain for music marketing in the modern era.<\/p>\n \u201cEver since the algorithm has been showing us things out of order, baby, there\u2019s no way to successfully promote your album where everyone knows your album is coming,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n She continued, noting her gratitude for her core fan base, who have been supporting her new releases. But even through exclusive channels, Lizzo is having trouble reaching them. \u201cI have a private page with over 280K people who follow me because they support me, because they love me. Even when I post on that page, I\u2019m not hitting their algorithm.\u201d<\/p>\n Lizzo\u2019s last studio album was 2022\u2019s Special<\/em>, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard <\/em>200. Since then, she\u2019s faced quite a few setbacks in her career.<\/p>\n In August 2023, her former backup dancers Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis and Noelle Rodriguez filed lawsuits against her alleging sexual harassment, racial harassment and for creating a hostile work environment. Though some of the suits have been dismissed, Lizzo maintains her innocence<\/a> in the bullying and harassment allegations against her, and recently spoke with Gayle King, saying she\u2019s prepared to testify in court.<\/p>\n Last year, Lizzo attempted a comeback with the singles \u201cLove in Real Life\u201d and \u201cStill Bad,\u201d both of which were set to appear on the album Love in Real Life<\/em>. Love in Real Life <\/em>was eventually scrapped in favor of her rap mixtape My Face Hurts From Smiling<\/em>.<\/p>\n b**chs <\/em>is set to arrive on Friday, June 5.<\/p>\n <\/a> \u2018Euphoria\u2019 Actress Nika King Breaks Down Hidden Costs to \u2018Stay Relevant\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Labrinth Doubles Down On Music Industry Gripes: ‘Who The F*** Said This Was Normal’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Gayle King Confirms She’s Staying at CBS Mornings: ‘I’m All In’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Kanye West Makes \u201cN****s in Paris\u201d Joke While Testifying in Copyright Trial<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n DJ Akademiks Suggests Drake Congratulated Him on Topping Complex\u2019s Hip-Hop Media Power Rankings<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
