I have previously danced to "Water Me" in Just Dance 2019 but I didn't pay attention to the song's artist. I learned today the song's artist is Lizzo. Other than "Water Me," I have not heard any of Lizzo's songs until today.

Notes:
--20191003--
First listen. Deluxe.
Lizzo shows a strong voice in "Cuz I Love You."
I dig the funky beat in "Juice"
"Tempo": "Slow songs, they for skinny hoes. Can't move all of this here to one of those. I'm a thick bitch, I need tempo."
The Deluxe version of the album adds three additional tracks: "Boys," "Truth Hurts," and "Water Me."
I listened to "Water Me" and "Juice" again.

Songs which caught my attention: "Cuz I Love You"; "Like A Girl"; "Juice"; "Water Me";

Summary:
Lizzo has a great voice and the majority of this album intersects with my personal taste in music. A part of me wanted to give the album a 5 (out of 5) but instead I decided to reserve that rating. As such, for now I'll give the album a 4 (but really it's a high 4).

When picking a favorite song, I was picking between "Juice" and "Water Me." "Water Me" has the advantage of being a song I've heard many times before (while playing Just Dance). Ultimately I felt as if I listened to "Juice" enough times, I would like it more than "Water Me."

Overall Rating: 4/5*
Favorite Song: "Juice"

*Eventually I would consider breaking up each value into 5 subcategories. For example, 4 could break down into 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, and 4.8. And oddly, 5 could break down into 5.0, 5.2, 5.4, 5.6, 5.8.
