It’s official; Lizzo is outside and just in time for summer with a BANGER of a new mixtape titled ‘My Face Hurts from Smiling.’

Having already teased cuts ‘Just 4 Fun,’ ‘Yittys on Yo T*ttys,’ and ‘Cut Em Off’ on social media over the past weeks, Liz unveiled the tunes’ parent project to digital streamers on Friday (June 27).

Boasting GRAMMY-winning gal pals Doja Cat and SZA as guests, ‘Smiling’ – which sees Liz heavy in her Hip-Hop bag – is set to tide over the fans of the singer-rapper (affectionately called #Lizzbians) ahead of her long-awaited fifth studio album ‘Love in Real Life.’

Until we get official news on that effort, hear the new mixtape inside courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.
