Watch Lizzo blow the roof off during raucous nprmusic TinyDesk concert
was going to let a "tiny-ass desk" stop her from putting on a gigantic show in a small room for her debut on NPR's Tiny Desk concert series.
"Hallelujah! I don't know what's come over me, but I'm cryin' cuz I love ya!" she said with verve and a hair flip. "Let's move forward. Cryin' cuz I love you, but now I'm cryin' cuz you get on my fuckin' nerves. That's natural though, right? That's a part of it. The spectrum, the polarity. N----s ain't shit sometimes. Bitches ain't shit sometimes too.
Though perched on a stool, Lizzo blew the room up as if she was working a giant room with a raucous "Truth Hurts," as the band gave the song a bouncy, bluesy throb. How hard did she rock it? She joked that even a crying baby in the audience had an amen for her. The 16-minute office party ended, of course, with a sassy stroll through "Juice" with some help on the "ya-ya-ee" chorus from her new NPR back-up singers and the obligatory fierce flute solo.
