Lizzo may be off to a fire-fuelled start with her new single ‘Rumors,’ but that hasn’t stopped her from mounting an almighty promotional campaign in support of the Cardi B-assisted cut.

Stopping by high-profile platforms such as The Breakfast Club, Hot 97, and Beats 1 radio on Apple Music, the chart-topper opened up about her time away from the spotlight, linking up with Cardi B, and her forthcoming album.

She also reflected on her journey, which she says has been defined by delayed gratification.

Indeed, Lizzo stressed that despite grossing over $1 million on tour before her breakthrough, she was on the cusp of giving up her dreams of top-tier success.

Suffice to say, her drive has paid off and she’s accelerating full speed.

Tamela Mann may easily be the hardest working woman in Gospel.

When not cranking out hits ‘Take Me To the King,’ ‘Change Me,’ ‘I Can Only Imagine,’ ‘Touch From You,’ and more on stages across the country, she’s penning books, collecting GRAMMY, Dove, and Stellar Awards, and tackling film and TV screens aboard Tyler Perry productions like ‘Meet the Browns’ and ‘Assisted Living.’

Pair those happenings with a Weight Watchers campaign and new album ‘Overcomer’ (available now), and – as Mann exclusively told That Grape Juice – you’ve still only touched the tip of the iceberg.

While the demands could be overwhelming for some, the Gospel diva dished on how the challenge of balancing work, spirituality, and her personal life has only fueled her desire to conquer even more uncharted territory.

Hop inside to be reintroduced to the multi-talented overcomer who – at 55-years-young – shows absolutely no sign of slowing.

Directed by Clara Cullen, the Los Angeles-filmed clip sees Rita channel some old-school Hollywood glamour poolside while crooning about the hardship of yearning for a love interest who is unaware of her desire.

‘I shoulda told you that I wanted you for me / You make it really hard to sleep / You keep me up / Baby, you’re my adrenaline,’ she relays in the Charli XCX-penned bop.

And while those efforts were met with varying levels of success, what remained constant was that her devoted fans – affectionately called #Azaleans – seemed to have an insatiable appetite for her content, demanding more after each critically-acclaimed delivery.

Yet, as alluded to by the title of her August 13-released album ‘End of An Era’ (click here to stream), all good things must come to an end.
