Lizzo - MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING (2025)
MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING is a bold, rapid-fire rap mixtape that finds Lizzo embracing her hip-hop roots with raw confidence and surprising grit. Across 13 tracks, including fierce features from Doja Cat and SZA, she blends braggadocio with defiant humor—dropping sharp bars and cheeky attitude over rugged, bass-heavy production. The mixtape's rough-edged textures and impromptu energy contrast sharply with her polished previous album Special, but that roughness is the point—it feels spontaneous, fun, and unapologetically Lizzo. Critics and fans alike are divided: some are high on the liberating return to her freestyle chops, while others miss the polish and depth of her mainstream work. But regardless, MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING feels like a refreshing, unfiltered statement—Lizzo doing what she wants, mixing provocative flair with powerhouse rap for a no-holds-barred summer release.
