16 minutes was all Lizzo (born Melissa Jefferson) needed to drop jaws during her debut performance on NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk’ concert series.

As fans continue to boast and bump the new video for the bop that is ‘Tempo’ (click here to see), Jefferson’s moved on up to NPR to highlight other tracks from her major label debut, ‘Cuz I Love You.’
