MMV Ep. 5 — “IRL,” Lizzo (Feat. Sza)

Details

Description

I fear, in the best possible way, this may be the song of the summer 😬 — in real life. And, we love a sample! “IRL” takes an unapologetic early‑’00s sample, “Shake That Ass Bitch,”by Splack Pack and turns it into a modern summer anthem. SZA’s verse, which had me clutching my nonexistent pearls, floats over Lizzo’s confident bounce in a way that feels both nostalgic and urgent and timely. Lizzo made a statement, giving us a party on a track, and a bridge between past and present—all in one record. #rnb #lizzo #sza #music #mmv
