Lizzo makes band geeks cool in a new video for 'Good As Hell'

Lizzo is breathing new life into her self-empowerment anthem “Good As Hell,” and she’s making band practice cool at the same time. The singer just dropped a new video for the track and got a little help from HBCU Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and their Human Jukebox and Fabulous Dancing Dolls groups.Lizzo travelled to the college and put their most musical students on display in “Good As Hell,” focusing especially on four female co-eds who were not feeling good as hell at the start of the video. Thanks to the support of their friends and a little help from Lizzo, the women were able to hair toss, check their nails and walk their fine selves out the door...and right onto the field, because it’s time for homecoming. Lizzo bounces between the various clubs at Southern University, performing in the choir practice room, marching on the field, taking the bus to a performance and dancing with the Fabulous Dancing Dolls. A former self-described band geek herself, Lizzo has continued to incorporate the flute into her performances, which she can be seen holding in the video. The singer thanked director Alan Ferguson and the school, writing “This is a special moment for me... Good As Hell took a trip to Baton Rouge and was blessed by @su_humanjukebox and the fabulous dancing dolls at Southern University.”Marching bands and dance groups for HBCUs were featured heavily in Beyoncé’s groundbreaking 2018 Coachella performance, with both Beyoncé and now Lizzo using their platforms to shine a light on musical groups that have largely been ignored by mainstream media.[video_embed id='1678221']Lizzo wore her amazing Met Gala outfit to the airport[/video_embed]Lizzo previously dropped a video for “Good As Hell” in 2016 when she released her EP Coconut Oil.
