SZA, born Solána Imani Rowe in 1989 and out of St. Louis, writes R&B like she's reading you pages from her diary, then scribbling over them in whatever genre takes her fancy that day. She built a following online with a pair of self-released EPs before Top Dawg Entertainment signed her, and the woozy, lo-fi psychedelia of her EP Z set the stage for Ctrl in 2017, a debut that landed on year-end lists everywhere. "Drew Barrymore" and "Supermodel" are all raw nerve and slouchy grooves, and she was up for Best New Artist at the Grammys.
The years that followed were a run of star turns alongside other people: "All the Stars" with Kendrick Lamar brought her an Academy Award nomination, and "Kiss Me More" with Doja Cat won her first Grammy. Then came SOS in 2022, a sprawling, shape-shifting album that swings from R&B to pop to hip-hop and back, and it stayed in the top ten of the Billboard 200 for a hundred weeks, the first album by a woman to do it. "Kill Bill", a breezy, deceptively sweet tune, went all the way to the top of the Hot 100, and "Good Days", "Shirt", "Snooze" and "Nobody Gets Me" kept coming. "Saturn", from the Lana reissue of SOS in 2024, floated out as the next chapter.
