If you weren’t quick enough on the draw to snag a ticket to see local diva LIZZO open up for Haim at The Palace Theater, don’t worry. LIZZO just announced a very, very, very special show for Monday, May 14th at the Icehouse.
Tossing her hair, flashing a confident smile, and “Feelin’ good as hell,” Lizzo wields the kind of voice that’s right at home in soul, pop, hip-hop, R&B, rock, and gospel. The vivacious and versatile vocalist’s impassioned delivery and dynamic range bonds the six tracks on her critically acclaimed major label debut EP, Coconut Oil [Nice Life Recording Company/Atlantic Records], achieving what she refers to as a “genre-less style.”
“My voice becomes the genre,” she explains. “It’s the common denominator between any track—whether we’ve got a West African backbeat, throwback soul, rap groove, or dancehall production. The vocals are the thread that ties the whole story together. It frees me up in a way.” That voice also turned the gleefully unpredictable Coconut Oil into a quiet phenomenon in late 2016. Lauded by Noisey, Entertainment Weekly, Paste, Rolling Stone, Spin, Idolator, and more, the EP boasted the hit “Good As Hell,” which featured on the Original Soundtrack to Barbershop: The Next Cut and churned out over 7.3 million Spotify streams and 1.3 million YouTube views in less than six months. This collection represents the culmination of a wild musical roller coaster ride thus far for Lizzo.
Tickets are sure to fly like hotcakes so be quick! Tickets go on sale at 11 today and can be bought right here.
This show will be held after her performance opening for Haim at The Palace Theater. She will also be opening for Haim again on Tuesday, May 15th but that show is also sold out.
Don’t miss your chance to see LIZZO at such an intimate venue for a hometown show!
