SOS
At long last, it's here…SZA released her second studio album SOS today. If you’re among the many fans whose hearts have been torn apart—or healed—by SZA’s stunning debut album CTRL and have waited patiently since 2017…then today is a good day. And if you’re not yet a SZA fan, then buckle up and tune in immediately. SZA is a master of translating intimate and personal inner monologues into indelible moments that are resonant and relatable, yet otherworldly, all at once. This long-awaited album carries on the same qualities from CTRL, but more—in one moment, she is a baddie above it all; in the next, she’s a sad girl who’s laying out her vulnerable sides. It’s long and ambitious, featuring 23 songs of different sonic styles and structures, showcasing SZA’s range both as a songwriter and a performer. You’ll hear the booming beats of CONCEITED, pop/rock-influenced F2F, and tracks with lo-fi and R&B reminiscent of CTRL. In conclusion, SZA really said…let my fans be fed with this masterpiece. She ate and left no crumbs.
