A Lizzo And Logitech Reunion
Logitech’s reunion with Lizzo follows just a few months after their first joint venture.
As AfroTech previously reported, Lizzo initially premiered “Special” for Logitech’s #DefyLogic campaign.
Similar to the upcoming showcase, the creative campaign affords Lizzo the opportunity to connect with creators making an impact.
“So it was really a great metaphor of me being, like, ‘How do you work this camera,’ and then I get swooped into this world to be free and then dance and then fly into the sky and bear witness to all of these other great creators and connect with them and be in wonder with them,” Lizzo previously said, according to Forbes.
