The promo trail is seeing quite its fair share of Lizzo as the ‘About Damn Time’ hitmaker is blazing a path in support of her sophomore majorrelease ‘Special.’
Already forecasted to land in the top 10 of next week’s Billboard 200 (as we reported here), Liz is putting in work to push the set to even higher heights on the tally.
In addition to rocking live TV performances, radio interviews, and more, the GRAMMY winner’s also gracing the pages of a number of print outlets – most recently making headlines for a stunning spread in ‘ELLE UK.’
When not shining in the mag’s feature article with talk about body positivity and her impact on the music industry, the singer-songwriter was filmed behind the scenes talking about breaking beauty records and more on the ‘ELLE UK’ video segment ‘Ask Me Anything.’
Look inside to see her surprising response to being quizzed about a fantasy remake of the iconic 2001 rendition of the timeless classic ‘Lady Marmalade.’
Over 20 years after topping the charts thanks to an ‘Avengers’-style lineup of divas Christina Aguilera, P!nk, Lil Kim, and Mya, hit song ‘Lady Marmalade’ – first brought to fame in 1974 by the Patti LaBelle-led group LaBelle – is hailed as a standard among female collaborations.
Recently, Lizzo was asked who among today’s crop of stars was worthy of uniting for an updated take on the classic.
“If I were to recreate ‘Marmalade’ with the girls that are out now, I would say me as Missy, SZA as Mya, Doja Cat as Lil Kim, and Ariana Grande as Christina Aguilera’s part,” she told ‘ELLE UK’ after revealing she’d previously thought about the fantasy scenario. “It would be fierce,” she added despite accidentally omitting a P!nk replacement.
Liz’s quote isn’t the first time Ariana (who she previously collaborated with on the 2019 ‘Good as Hell’ remix) was named as a “must have” for any prospective ‘Marmalade’ reboot. ‘Wild Side’ singer Normani once co-signed a fan’s suggestion that she join forces with Grande, Megan Thee Stallion, and Dua Lipa for a remake of the iconic song (as we reported here).
While we wait to see if Ari takes anyone up on the offer, click “PLAY” on the video above to watch Lizzo’s hilarious takes on a number of other scenarios in ‘Ask Me Anything.’
