SZA: SOS

IT FINALLY HAPPENED. Our girl, SZA came through with another album. BITCH!! She came through hard as hell too! With a whopping twenty-three tracks. We were blessed. This album is definitely a totally different vibe. I will say some of the themes feel somewhat like CTRL, dealing with insecurity and messy relationships but this time, SZA sounds more sure of herself in a way. The lyrical stories in each track sound very intentional. The sound itself throughout the album is varies. We have her lo-fi R&B sounds but with poppy punk notes that makes my lil emo heart very happy. SZA is not only singing but home-girl has bars too.

Overall, I am very happy with this amazing collection of talent that she graciously bestowed upon us. I heard rumors that this may be her last album. I hope that is not true. She is such a gift and so talented. But with that said, Do you sis!

Some* of my favorite tracks and lyrics that stood out to me include:

Kill Bill: “ I get the sense that you might really love her, the text gon’ be evidence, this text is evidence”

Love Language: “Text me like I’m waiting for you to come lie to me, ruin my day sayin shit to hurt me, I can’t compete. Still on the way, I lay awake if you’re not around me. I’m so on to you, still gone for you.”

Seek & Destroy: “I can’t stand it, the urge. Is so demandin’ the purge. So necessary, the art of war. Goddamn it, I’m drained. Now that I’ve ruined everything, I cannot complain. Now that I’ve ruined everything I’m so fuckin’ free.”

This album goes hard. Fuck with it 🖤
