<\/div>\n

Lizzo<\/a> and Missy Elliott<\/a> have teamed up for a wildly hypnotic, raucous new single titled \u201cTempo.\u201d This is the third new release off Lizzo\u2019s forthcoming album Cuz I Love You<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTempo\u201d launches with a Prince-like guitar riff, but that\u2019s just a misdirection from the deliciously weird, bass-heavy sound of the rest of the song. \u201cSlow songs, they for skinny hoes\/Can\u2019t move all of this here to one of those\/I\u2019m a thick bitch, I need tempo\/Fuck it up to the tempo,\u201d she seductively delivers on the track\u2019s first verse. Elliott amps the energy up for her verse, offering up a raucous, hype delivery.<\/p>\n

After \u201cTempo\u201d premiered, Lizzo paid tribute to Elliott on Twitter:<\/p>\n

Now go fuck it up to the #TEMPO<\/a> and STREAM OUR SONG!!!! ?? Love You @MissyElliott<\/a> ? pic.twitter.com\/xTMbWt3lM6<\/a><\/p>\n
