In her frank interview with Vanity Fair, Lizzo categorically denied that her music is intended for a “white audience.” Rather, the 34-year-old musician writes songs that reflect her experience as a Black person.
You can hear hints of R&B, hip hop, and gospel in Lizzo’s songs, which flow across a variety of genres. Additionally, she has hit songs that have soared to the top of the pop charts, such as “Good as Hell” and “About Damn Time.”
Because the chart-topping songs were written with a black audience in mind but are so well-liked by white people, Lizzo is a little worried about them. What “disturbs her the most” is that.The vocalist clarifies that she is “not making music for white people.”
“It’s a very critical discussion about black artists, and this is probably the biggest criticism I’ve received,” the singer remarked.
“Black people think, ‘Well, this isn’t for me,’ when they see a lot of white people in the audience. This is for them. The problem is that the audience will be overwhelmingly white once a black artist achieves a certain level of fame.
“I am not making music for white people,” the businesswoman and intelligent singer continued. I’m a woman of color. I’m using my experiences as a Black person to create music.
