You can hear hints of R&amp;B, hip hop, and gospel in Lizzo\u2019s songs, which flow across a variety of genres. Additionally, she has hit songs that have soared to the top of the pop charts, such as \u201cGood as Hell\u201d and \u201cAbout Damn Time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because the chart-topping songs were written with a black audience in mind but are so well-liked by white people, Lizzo is a little worried about them.
