Lizzo<\/a> is back. After highly publicized legal<\/a> battles<\/a> and her Barbie<\/em><\/a> song \u201cPink<\/a>,\u201d the pop singer returns with her first new song in two years. Doubling as the lead-single for a forthcoming album of the same name, \u201cLove in Real Life\u201d arrives with a Colin Tilley-directed music video that pays homage to Michael Jackson\u2019s iconic \u201cThriller\u201d video, with Lizzo dressed in black lace and leather, leading a group of dancers through an alley, and surviving attacks by face-melting characters. Watch it below.<\/p>\n Apart from her Barbie<\/em> contribution, Lizzo hasn\u2019t released any music since her album Special<\/em><\/a> came out in 2022. That said, she did join Incubus onstage<\/a> in Los Angeles in 2023 for a flute cameo during \u201cAqueous Transmission\u201d and broke out the instrument during an episode of The Simpsons<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n In August 2023, Lizzo was sued<\/a> by three former dancers for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. The pop star called the allegations \u201cas unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed\u201d in a statement<\/a> on social media, and then issued a formal denial<\/a> in court.<\/p>\n In a second lawsuit<\/a> filed, in September 2023, by a different former employee who worked in Lizzo\u2019s wardrobe department on tour, named Asha Daniels, claimed that she was sometimes refused breaks during 20-hour shifts, and that she overheard racist and fatphobic comments from members of her team. In December 2024, a California federal judge ruled<\/a> that Daniels did not have the standing to sue Lizzo as an individual in that workplace harassment lawsuit because she named the musician\u2019s production company and payroll company as her direct employers, not the pop star.<\/p>\n Revisit the 2019 Pitchfork article \u201cLizzo\u2019s 10 Best Flute Videos<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
