Albums SZA - CTRL (discussion thread)

[dubsmith_nz]

Tracklist looks good, have a feeling this will be great.

SZA & Rashad together again

They make beautiful music together









Edit: their styles Mesh so well, they'd make a fukking amazing album together.

I'm surprised TDE haven't put them together to at least make an EP. Chemistry is undeniable.

Well she did tweet once that they were forming a group, maybe we will get that one day.



Sidenote: She will be on breakfast club tomorrow.

Last year, Top Dawg Entertainment boss Anthony Tiffith promised a big year from his label with a hypothetical release schedule. One of those records was by SZA, whose last album, Z, came out in 2014. After some internal conflict caused her to tweet “I actually quit” and that TDE co-president Punch “can release my album if he ever feels like it,” she announced the title of her new album tonight on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” It’s called CTRL. It includes “twoAM,” her previously released rework of PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake's “Come and See Me.” It also features a new song, “Drew Barrymore;”

Just downloaded it from Tidal, about to hit this once I leave work so I can zone out.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Listened last night... It's straight. I wanted it to be more soulful. There's some songs that sound pop, and some that sound like alternative rock

 

[CrimsonTider]

Her music is so average

Nothing ever grabs me

 

[WhoShotCha]

This shyt didn't move me at all. Just so bland. And I could go w/o the Rhianna impression.

She should just be a model tbh.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Album was bland as fukk.

damn gun to my head I wouldn't be able to name any memorable songs.

 

[TheRtist]

yea shyt was super bland

wow mama fell tf off

best song is Broken Clocks. I felt a bait & switch.

I remember on the first album when this dropped I knew I was in for the future of R&B

 

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

her voice/cadence she sings in suck so bad

 

[Roxx the King]

I thought the travis scott joint was dope. ive never checked for her before but she sounds a little like chrisette michelle

 

[Dad]

It's aight

She gave these youngins validation for being a bop this summer

 

[Guvnor]

I thought musically it was actually good, like as far as the beats and singing. Especially her writing/lyrics too.

I just didn't like the fact this was fukking side piece music man. It's like this is music for side pieces and hoes and a nikka can't really enjoy this shyt. I also think she like the homie Isiah Rashard based on the first song on there.

"Ooh just get a load of them
They got chemistry
All they could say
We like brother and sister
Look so good together
Bet they fukkin' for real"

I believe the person whispering out the end of that track was Pharell.

Another thing about this album is I could imagine her giving these joints to Rihanna and Broken Clocks to Beyonce with some of the lyrics reworked and y'all would fukk with this. Y'all just expect better from her and I did too lol.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

the album is just ok, there are some dope tracks, but as an entire body of work, i'm "meh".

if yall like SZA, check out ari lennox, her pho ep. she's got a similar voice but makes the music sza should be making, nice grooves without the dash of thottery

edit: tho weekend is a sidepiece anthem, it's sexy, wish she didn't fukk it up with whatever bullshyt was added toward the end. trying to fukk someone to that and then that bullshyt comes on
