One thing I alwayz said about her as an artist is how poetic and well she writes, Amy Winehouse is my number one favorite artist of all time and the way SZA writes is very reminiscent of the way Amy wrote which is a HUGEEE compliment from an Amy fan, we’re super sensitive about Amy!
She in my opinion revitalized female R&B for the 2010s. After 2011, R&B was going through a serious decline commercially. After CTRL came out, so many new R&B singers followed after her like Ella Mai, Ari Lennox, Mahalia, Summer Walker, etc. Imagine opening doors like that with your debut album, and she’s only getting bigger
I love sza but I don’t agree with this. I think Kehlani and Jhene Aiko are the one who revitalized this new wave of R&b girlies. Sweet, sexy, savage was kind of monumental and moved R&B into a new sound
Her album Ctrl got me through a NASTY break up, I mean it was NASTY. That album will always hold a special place in my heart. I could play that album all the way through, not skipping one song, and just drift off in to my imagination.
@@catalinaparlay What is with yall and breakups. Yall don't need no relationship if you can't handle if someone leave you . Just accept it, move on and be happy because your ex's would most definitely do the same . Stop being so dumb and pathetic over niggas or bitches 😩
One thing I can say about SZA is that she’s one of the best songwriters of this generation. Her getting snubbed at the Grammy’s was something else. Despite that situation, CTRL still hasn’t left charts even four years after its release.
Ctrl was a masterpiece, and as much as I wish she'd keep making music, if the industry is taking a toll on her mental health then I definitely understand why she'd want the next album to be her last. I wish her all the best.
Complete masterpiece . Idk why ppl let the annoying opinions of the weekend overshadow the artistry in this album. It got me through so much man . Still bang it to this day , the whole album through !!
I feel like its something deeper than what we know as to why we aren’t getting her music as consistent as she would like. Also, Ctrl was a classic! She was a breath of fresh air I never knew I needed!
Tbh Ctrl would’ve never been released if it wasn’t due to Punch putting it together. Sza never felt like it good enough and wanted to constantly make changes until Punch just took her hard drive
Even though she hasn’t released her sophomore album, her music is timeless in my opinion. Her music has got people though some tough times, even me. Good days will forever have my heart because of everything lol. She has that kind of music that people will be singing for years.
she's giving sade. she really is our generation's sade. sade's music is so healing to me just like SZA. i know sade didn't like the spotlight and preferred her life to be private. like sza as well. sade's music is timeliness like SZA
I'm confused why her label is making is not promoting her or releasing her work in the first place. She's extremely popular. The album will be a hit guaranteed. Everyone will make money so what's the hold up?
@@veneratedvixxen No she’s not saying RCA is the only problem. What other record label now has a Black female artist that focuses on empowerment and keeps her clothes on? She doesn’t work for BW’s image in the media.
I’m so happy to be finally getting a SZA video. She is an incredible artist and I’ve been listening to her since her “Z” days. CTRL was a life changing album and I even got it tattooed on me exactly where she does. We NEED another timeless album ASAP 😭
I feel so bad for her & her label situation. She really could be bigger than Taylor & Ariana if she had the proper machine behind her. For example, Up by Cardi the audio has 51M Views and it went number one on billboard. Good Days by SZA went number 9 and it haS 60M Views. The support is there she just needs a team to properly promote & market her. It sucks
@@2manyxanax Good days has more streams than Up as well. they can only take you so far. If you don’t have a label promoting, marketing, & sending your songs to top 40 you won’t go top 5.
@@protected3798 cardi works for the free masons n she claims a higher rank n spot, sza still has some morals and the industry won’t let her up a stage till she fully gives in, all this music shi lost it’s soul, like the so called writers n idols of our day n age, a modern renaissance gone to waste, due to the blind and those whose chose to ignore
the fact that people were SOOOO hype for good days. let alone hit different. after years of CTLR. that's how impactful her music is. the loyalty people have for her needs to match the label. we are doing all the press work that the label needs to do
They snubbed my baby bad at the Grammys. But CTRL will always be an iconic album. Helped me through out all the awkwardness my 20’s brought me. Sza is that girl. Period.
From a 67 y/o grandmother I love, love, love SZA❤!! 3 of her songs that inspire me are LOVE GALORE, SNOOZE & GONE GIRL. GOD WILL continue to bless this angel of 🎵 song in whatever she endeavors!!❤❤ 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😇💞
Sza is such a gem. Good Days has healing powers. I've never seen so many people react to a snippet the way they did good days. It wasnt even finished ,yet she was compelled to release it due to the overwhelming energetic pull. The world needed that song at a very horrible time. Covid deaths and uncertainty was at an all time high. I pray that God covers her and that everything works in her favor.
Seeing this makes me reminisce my early 20s when I found SZA. It gives me good flutters in my stomach. SZA is the only one who sounds like SZA. We notice others copy when you hear what we refer to as "cursive singing". Her pen game is also epic as ever. Babylon, Sweet November, Advil, Sobriety, Never Knew...of course all of CTRL. I do miss her alternative rugged sounding production where everything wasn't perfectly mix & mastered tho. I think for this day & age & how everything is so microwavable that she's doing well. I want that sophomore album NEOW 😬
First song I heard by SZA was Icemoon (the original & the revisited version ft Ab-soul) it was 2013 I was in 9th grade 😫 changed my whole life. I love the recognition she’s getting n it’s so well deserved but I miss freckle face SZA I feel like she was jus for me I was gatekeepin hard yo. Still go bck n listen to Icemoon every other day jus to get the feeln bck ✨
This!!!’ I mean people used to go in on the lying about her freckles, her degrees she used to say she had, and then all the surgery, but as soon as she reached her final form people were suddenly praising her. I was always like” what about way back when, what she looked like then? Where was the support and praise then?”. It made me kind of dismiss the fandom around her I’ll admit because it seemed so disingenuous.
@@BLACKFEMININITYTV hell no don't get me wrong she was just as pretty before the weight loss and plastic surgery but to the industry she definitely was considered not attractive
She the goat 💎 especially the fact that she wrote her heart out on that Ctrl album. I literally got my life saved back in 2019 due to that album, when i was considering taking my own life at a point no one knows this, GOOD DAYS BROUGHT ME BACK TO WELL GOOD DAYS…. An u should give us a Mariah Carey evolution, it’s going to be long but it will be TOP TIER
Z was her breakthrough for me. She already got that impact, the R&B genius sound, from way back but only managed to go mainstream with Ctrl, which is understandable. 2017 was a good year for alternative R&B and that album fit right in.
@Lauri London I don't see the connection, but okay. Beyonce didn't even need to go solo back then, DC was everything, but that's the only future set for someone as good as her.
She is an artist that is a bit after my time in mainstream interest. Yet and still, she has made a mark that is undeniable. Really appreciate the effort that went into this. Thank you so much. Stay well.
Damn she is sooo damn naturally beautiful.. Those freckles, hair skin I loooove it and wish she'd show that more.. She needs zero makeup.. And she's so damn underrated talented... Wow great video so talented praying she really gets even more shine..glow girl♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yeah I thought she was gonna go there too. Her story sounds so random. She goes from working with a clothing designer to working at Sephora and doing a bunch of other things...her voice is nice though.
Chile, as much as I love SZA that girl likes to lie A LOT, used to lie about her hair, freckles, and just recently lied about not owning a TV. Once on Tumblr she threatened to sue someone cause they confronted her about it 😭
Yes! For years, people asked “what does she even do?” When the whole entire time since we met her on MTV, she’s been a singer/entertainer. And her music has actually been good since before KTSE.
Watching this makes me tear up!!!! I’ve been listening to Sza since 2013 when I was only 13. Going thru my adolescence problems and her art seriously saved me!! Thank you for not quitting SZA. You have changed our culture babe. YOURE SO BEAUTIFUL, & TALENTED ❤️ love from Canada
Ctrl is literally apart of my growth from a spoiled little girl mindset to a grown woman. I have songs scattered throughout all my playlist, and I LOVE SZA from the bottom of my heart ❤️ . I had no idea her brilliance was all over “feelin myself” ‼️ I can’t wait for her next album. The next breakdown should beee Tinashe🥰 she’s been working so hard and I don’t think people really kno her story
CTRL was one of my top 5 favorite albums of 2017, I noticed SZA through the Internet back in 2014-2016 with her S and Z EPs and featured on Rihanna’s Anti album, what makes SZA so unique for me is her storytelling styled of songwriting it’s like a cross to her personal diary and a classic urban fiction novel, detailing the ins and outs of her life, views of the world and the recognizable pop culture references. I hope RCA and TDE stop the BS and make SZA drop her second album, I hope for the album SZA makes it a visual album bc I know she’s aspired to be a filmmaker as well and see visuals ideas executed well, as well hope this wouldn’t be her final album she has a lot of potentials to be the most prominent R&B female artist for this generation, along with Normani and Ari Lennox
It would be cool to see you do one of these biographical docs on someone who is kinda unsung like Sevyn Streeter! I love her music, but I feel like she often doesn't get much recognition.
I love SZA so much! I’ve loved her since about 2012/2013. Ctrl is a masterpiece! I still listen to that album everyday. I really relate to the things she talks about in her music. She has substance. Her style is so different from everyone else’s today and I love it!
I am a Mexican American.. I may not be a black woman BUT I LOVE this channel! I fully support thus channel along with other black content creators. Where I'm from (Florida) Black and Mexicans stick together!! Anyways u did an amazing job on these videos! Keep up the good work. 💕
It boggles my brain that she never received a Grammy! like whhhaaatttt???CTRL was like album of the year!! And all her music hits.. smhhh it saddens me that they’re doing her like this.. SZA don’t quit, we need youuu ❤❤❤
Broken Clocks is a whole vibe and got me through a breakup. I didn't know that SZA is retiring though 😢 I'm really going to miss her. She's a true artist and her voice is so unique and doesn't sound like anyone else's. I'll be so upset to see her go 💔
Even as a man ctrl will always have a place in my heart as one of the most perfect albums. I first found her because she has a beautiful bundle of curly hair similar to mine (I've been growing my naturally curly hair for almost 6 years now) and I was just getting into r&b. I respect the feelings and the emotions she went through and I find beauty in the way she writes and sings. I own the vinyl, cd and I played ctrl on repeaaaat. So glad we are blessed with SOS.
I love SZA and her music. I’m deeply saddened this will be her last album, but its understandable. The music industry takes a huge toll on ones mental health and SZA has been through too much.
i got put on to her in 2014 after hearing “Child’s Play” and being obsessed w the EP “Z”. it’s sad to hear what she’s been going through, i really hope it’s not her last album bc she’s such a great artist and deserves more credit. i feel like she could dead drop something on her own w no label pushing it
Sza really can dominate this generation and being the biggest female artist of the generation if her label support her, she is a hit maker and she got the "it" factor for being an icon. Like really good days peak at number 9 with 0 PROMO LIKE imagine if she got a lit of promo and support she can eat 'em all
I love me some Sza like I’ve noticed her when she was featured on Rihanna Anti album but her Ctrl album is amazing from start to finish I wish her label would released her second album like they are holding it back for what reason but we need that album now
Love this! SZA really grew as an artist over the years. I can see her being a director or writing films honestly! I’d love to see Victoria Monet or Tinashe.
RCA has such a grimy reputation. She’s been inspiring me since Time Travel Undone and Teen Spirit but CTRL got me through a reaaallly tough transition period in my life. She’s TRULY gifted with her words and Melodie’s and I hope she can find a label that truly knows what they have!
She’s always doing features more now I noticed but I knew it was a lable issue because she’s an amazing artist yall I really love SZA she’s just so cool and talented
She has a ton of unreleased tracks from 2016-2019 I think those tracks we’re probably suppose to be for her sophomore album because the Jodi foster song songs similar to a song that’s on snoh Allegra song in your eyes her 2nd ablum
I love sizz. She’s always playing somewhere. It’s Garden and Good days for me. Consideration made me fall in love with her. Her part on I Do is the only part worth listening to….
Ctrl is a beautiful album. I remember listening to broken clocks and just having it on repeat for weeks and then I randomly heard normal girl and thought “hmm this sounds sick too” and then slowly I started to listen to song after song after I’d rinse out each song, eventually oneday while washing the dishes I listened to the whole album front to back and I found myself crying while washing a cup lmao. The album just has a feel of nostalgia, hope, heartbreak, insecurity and idk it just sounded so human and so real. During this time I was going through this feeling of confusion in my life where I didn’t know where I was going and the song 20 something basically explained how I was feeling to the T. SZA is talented I’m so excited to see the next project she releases.
If you look at the structure of SZA’s lyrics she writes almost like a rapper. That style allows her flow on so many different kind of tracks.
One thing I alwayz said about her as an artist is how poetic and well she writes, Amy Winehouse is my number one favorite artist of all time and the way SZA writes is very reminiscent of the way Amy wrote which is a HUGEEE compliment from an Amy fan, we’re super sensitive about Amy!
@@BonitaBocazas so true. Amy is my favorite artist of all time too and Sza has that same poetic honesty to her lyricism

Her getting snubbed at the Grammy’s was something else. Despite that situation, CTRL still hasn’t left charts even four years after its release.

I love SZA so much! I’ve loved her since about 2012/2013. Ctrl is a masterpiece! I still listen to that album everyday. I really relate to the things she talks about in her music. She has substance. Her style is so different from everyone else’s today and I love it!
SZA is our generation's rihanna
I rarely can go through an entire album and like each song let alone play it for 3 years straight and never getting tired of it.
I am a Mexican American..
I may not be a black woman BUT I LOVE this channel! I fully support thus channel along with other black content creators. Where I'm from (Florida) Black and Mexicans stick together!! Anyways u did an amazing job on these videos! Keep up the good work. 💕
Is birria hard to make ?
If her next album is her last, good on her. Do what makes you happy and if that’s not making albums then so be it.
But why is punch doing my girl like this tho?????? SHES LITERALLY GOLD
Needed you tonight Black Femininity!!! A good Saturday night at home vibe! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰
It boggles my brain that she never received a Grammy! like whhhaaatttt???CTRL was like album of the year!! And all her music hits.. smhhh it saddens me that they’re doing her like this.. SZA don’t quit, we need youuu ❤❤❤
Quicksand is my favorite out of all her music . Its a piece of art😩
I couldn’t agree more omg
Who’s here after she dropped the album?
😯 wow she fought it out and made her place in the music industry and an impact from her strength alone❤️✨
Supermodel will always have a prime place in my heart.
Broken Clocks is a whole vibe and got me through a breakup. I didn't know that SZA is retiring though 😢 I'm really going to miss her. She's a true artist and her voice is so unique and doesn't sound like anyone else's. I'll be so upset to see her go 💔
17:03 - Janelle Monae - she was never the most popular, but, she's had an extensive career, with great music, especially The ArchAndroid
Female Prince! She is completely underrated
Oh, maker is still one of my favorites
SZA is so talented, she deserves more flowers than what's she's getting.
I learned a lot. Never got it into her music but now I know the history I’m going to check her out. Love you channel. Thanks!
Let me talk to SZA. She can’t stop making music, she’s too rare one of the ones I emotionally connect with I need her 😩
Even as a man ctrl will always have a place in my heart as one of the most perfect albums. I first found her because she has a beautiful bundle of curly hair similar to mine (I've been growing my naturally curly hair for almost 6 years now) and I was just getting into r&b.
I respect the feelings and the emotions she went through and I find beauty in the way she writes and sings. I own the vinyl, cd and I played ctrl on repeaaaat. So glad we are blessed with SOS.
I love SZA and her music. I’m deeply saddened this will be her last album, but its understandable. The music industry takes a huge toll on ones mental health and SZA has been through too much.
I am huge fan of sza she such a great artist
i got put on to her in 2014 after hearing “Child’s Play” and being obsessed w the EP “Z”. it’s sad to hear what she’s been going through, i really hope it’s not her last album bc she’s such a great artist and deserves more credit. i feel like she could dead drop something on her own w no label pushing it
Sza really can dominate this generation and being the biggest female artist of the generation if her label support her, she is a hit maker and she got the "it" factor for being an icon. Like really good days peak at number 9 with 0 PROMO LIKE imagine if she got a lit of promo and support she can eat 'em all
Can I just say GO GINA and BROKEN CLOCKS are my Shyt
CTRL is like the ultimate coming of age album
I looove sza🖤🦋✌🏽and appreciate her sharing her art with us.
I’m such a SZA stan and have been for years! My favorite song of hers is Crack Dreams on See.SZA.Run and I still play Ctrl like it just came out!
Ouuuuu finally a Sza story ! We love solona ❤️
I love Sza. Growing up a black Muslim female is hard. I have been there.
I love me some Sza like I’ve noticed her when she was featured on Rihanna Anti album but her Ctrl album is amazing from start to finish I wish her label would released her second album like they are holding it back for what reason but we need that album now
Let’s pray we get a Christmas gift from SZA
12:14 it's okay my baby finna sweep this year at the 2024 Grammys
Love sza through all her transitions💛 she’s had a major impact on my taste in music and style !
I thought she would have been put out another album. It’s been almost 5 years since CTRL came out.
Most iconic intro on UA-cam, PERIOD.
Love this! SZA really grew as an artist over the years.
I can see her being a director or writing films honestly!
I’d love to see Victoria Monet or Tinashe.
I need SZA and Solange to come together!
Sza and normani are being held back for monumental reasons!
The ablum CTRL was a gem... I am waiting for the new album to be released... hopefully soon. I love the singles she released from it so far.
Sza and Isaiah Rashad did hella collabs that I feel deserve more love.
RCA has such a grimy reputation. She’s been inspiring me since Time Travel Undone and Teen Spirit but CTRL got me through a reaaallly tough transition period in my life. She’s TRULY gifted with her words and Melodie’s and I hope she can find a label that truly knows what they have!
That’s every label
I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t care for SZA at first but she grew on me. Now I love her.
Good Days, Hit Different & 20 something are definitely my favorites
Love this channel! Such quality!
She’s always doing features more now I noticed but I knew it was a lable issue because she’s an amazing artist yall I really love SZA she’s just so cool and talented
She has a ton of unreleased tracks from 2016-2019 I think those tracks we’re probably suppose to be for her sophomore album because the Jodi foster song songs similar to a song that’s on snoh Allegra song in your eyes her 2nd ablum
So glad she’s also a late 80s baby 🥰
I love sizz. She’s always playing somewhere. It’s Garden and Good days for me. Consideration made me fall in love with her. Her part on I Do is the only part worth listening to….
Ctrl is a beautiful album. I remember listening to broken clocks and just having it on repeat for weeks and then I randomly heard normal girl and thought “hmm this sounds sick too” and then slowly I started to listen to song after song after I’d rinse out each song, eventually oneday while washing the dishes I listened to the whole album front to back and I found myself crying while washing a cup lmao. The album just has a feel of nostalgia, hope, heartbreak, insecurity and idk it just sounded so human and so real. During this time I was going through this feeling of confusion in my life where I didn’t know where I was going and the song 20 something basically explained how I was feeling to the T. SZA is talented I’m so excited to see the next project she releases.
