Lizzo has completed work on her new album 'Love in Real Life'.

The delighted star took to Instagram to tell fans about her productive day, after she "finished" her forthcoming fifth studio album, announced an appearance on sketch comedy series 'Saturday Night Live', and had emergency dental surgery all on the same day.

She wrote: "ALBUM IS DONE YALL! ASTROLOGY EXPERTS Do my mercury got micro braids? Cus I got an emergency root canal, announced SNL finished my album all in one day today (sic)"

It comes after Lizzo recently expressed her fury over criticism of her new music - insisting negative reviews of her song 'Still Bad', which is her first single from 'Love in Real Life', are "lazy".

Lizzo wrote on X: "Saying my brand of 'poptimism' doesn't work in a 'post Covid world' is a lazy take ... As if I didn't release 'about damn time' post pandemic ...

"As if I didn't write [her song] 'About Damn Time' to be a post lockdown anthem to inspire us to get outside and together again. And was successful at it btw ...

"Same people saying my music is 'too optimistic' would've been real mad in the 60s at James Brown and Motown ... "'Still Bad' is a break-up song with the world. It literally starts with me saying: 'I'm bouta throw my phone away' it's a call to action for the negativity we experience on our phones and how we need to disengage and recenter. The girls that get it, get it ...

"In the music video I'm literally taking my power back from the 'birds' (tweets) that tried to keep me down with negativity …

"I think seeing and hearing a black woman make real music with radical joy triggers miserable people … but I follow in the footsteps of Janet [Jackson], of Funkadelic, of Earth Wind and Fire … nobody's doing it like me for Us. And I stand on that."

"Imagine listening to 'say it loud I'm black and I'm proud' and saying it's too optimistic ... Imagine listening to [OutKast song] 'Hey Yah' and saying it's too poppy… what Andre [Andre 3000] say? Yall don't wanna listen ya just wanna hate ...

"Aretha [Franklin] and Whitney [Houston] got backlash for being 'too pop' and they kept going… and so will I ...

"I'm out here reclaiming rock n roll for US … (sic)"
