SOS
“It’s been five years since SZA released her debut album ‘CTRL’ and became, in what felt like a click of the fingers, an overnight sensation. That record ushered in a new era for R&B, one where the genre’s boundaries shifted, bringing new levels of inventiveness into a classic sound and fusing it with indie, alternative, trap and more. Ever since that 2017 release, fans and journalists alike have ”

“SZA’s CTRL turns vulnerability into an art-form, delivering the best debut album this year”
Ctrl
“The official major label album debut for Solána Imani Rowe, professionally known as SZA, is upon us. 2014's Z was technically termed a mixtape for the resident R&B singer on the Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) imprint (home, of course, to roster mates like Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Isaiah Rashad) but nonetheless functioned as a quick, gauzy intro for the New Jersey-based artist. CTRL has been”
SOS Deluxe: LANA
“Fifteen diaphanous new tracks balance the ambling indie R&B of CTRL and the forthright hooks of SOS. Put these songs in their own playlist and you can proudly call Lana the third SZA album.”
SOS
“SZA’s long, ambitious, luxurious new album solidifies her position as a generational talent, an artist who translates her innermost feelings into indelible moments.”
Ctrl
“A debut full-length that proves the singer's ballooning popularity is well deserved”
SOS Deluxe: LANA
“SOS was already a masterpiece—an emotional, genre-blurring journey through heartbreak, healing, and self-worth—but with Lana Deluxe, SZA takes things to an entire new level. This deluxe edition isn’t just bonus tracks—it’s a full-on expansion of her soul, and every second feels like a gift. Let’s start with the new songs: they absolutely deliver. SZA has this unmatched ability to make you feel like she’s reading your diary while also narrating your most cinematic daydream. Whether she’s whisper-singing over soft acoustic strings or floating over moody R&B beats, she just gets it. “Saturn”? Heart-shattering. “PSA”? Pure confidence. Every added track deepens the story of SOS, and somehow, she still finds new emotional territory to explore. Her vocals are even more daring here—raw, ethereal, intimate. The songwriting is sharp, honest, and poetic, balancing vulnerability with a quiet power that hits hard. It’s messy and self-aware and unapologetically complex—just like real emotions. Just like SZA. What I love most about Lana Deluxe is how complete it feels. It doesn’t just tack on extras—it builds out the world of SOS into something even more immersive and transformative. It’s like watching the waves of her mind crash and calm in real time. SZA is truly in a lane of her own, and with SOS: Lana Deluxe, she’s not just solidifying her place in modern R&B—she’s redefining it. This is art. This is feeling. This is SZA, at her most brilliant. And I’m so, so grateful for it.”

“A decent album from SZA but I really can’t get into it. Production is great and her voice is amazing and so unique but I feel like there’s something missing from the album overall. Top songs are ‘The Weekend’ ‘Love Galore’ ft Travis Scott ‘Anything’ ‘20 Something’”
Hoppers (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
“Normalita, es una mezcla de muchas cosas, tiene momentos muy tecnológicos, otros que parecen de cuando trabajaba con Wes Anderson, pero en general fuera de la cinta no me funciona mucho. La canción de SZA tampoco meh.”
SOS
“this album was great, it had some awesome tracks like low, open arms, far, and too late. i don’t think sza would ever top CTRL but this is still a great record.”
Ctrl
“As a teenage boy, it’s sometimes hard to relate to a girl or woman. While this album could be catered to girls, I think it’s a man’s job to not only understand women but to learn about them, and this album, for me, was the perfect opportunity to do so.”
Ctrl
“this is a fabulous record and it will always have a special spot in my heart.”

“Best album I have ever listened to my goat SZA”

“Very great. All time. But not as good as SOS”
