On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Lizzo. Lizzo shows up fully in everything she does, and this Artist Friendly conversation is no different. From the diamond single — 2019’s rerecorded “Truth Hurts” — that started with tears in the studio to sleeping in her car on Thanksgiving night, she traces the full arc of who she is and how she got here. Sitting down with Madden, she discusses the Blue Note residency that turned her radio hits into intimate arrangements, the panic attack that cracked her open, and the difference between loss and abandonment. Additionally, they speak about her upcoming album, Bitch, a fall tour, and a children’s book about a flute who can’t find her voice — based on her life. ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!
