Her father was an executive producer at CNN, while her mother was an executive at AT&T

Her mother is Christian and her father is Muslim. She was raised as a Muslim and continues to follow Islam.

If streams didn’t count as sales then every artist would be selling literally nothing.

It’s a messy way to track, but you gotta accommodate the changing times of how music is consumed.

well technically, no one is selling anything. Those 300k sales, (46 million streams) will net her around $180k according to the royalty streaming calculator. $180k is a good little piece of change, but nothing she can recoup with the label. In the end, she will make her money touring (as the label will also in the 360 deal).

 

[Chip Skylark]

people have been begging for her album! My timeline has been filled with praise about it

She’s about to dominate the rest of the year and beginning of the next

 

[Sauce Dab]

I believe it. The hype is crazy, damn near every woman I know is talking about it and playing it.

Yep I believe it too. SZA is a big time artist. Also there’s damn near 25 songs on there, she was going for them streaming numbers

 

[TDA92]

Yeah a lot of people have been anticipating this album since her debut. I'm proud of her.

 

[L $ C]

Women live their personalities through her lol

men do the same shyt

This isn't how it works. Streaming nets a lot more for the label than the artist, and recoup calculations are based on that. She's already plat due to the singles and will likely end up going 2-3 plat when all is said and done. The label recouped on her last album and will do so on this one, so she's good. She'll make her money on tour (much of which will likely go to the label too).

Question at this point is how many albums can they get out of her. She claims this is her last one, I'd imagine she owes RCA at least three more (prob only owes TDE two more). Can they get her on an "album every two years" schedule like these other chicks? I doubt it.

 

[Sauce Dab]

SZa is huge with white women

She’s huge with black women too. Not too many artists have solid female fan bases so when you get women on your side you do big numbers

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Overrated.

 

[TDA92]

men do the same shyt

nikkas be having OTF tatted on them living in Florida.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Overrated.

In a sea of trash she’s ok
I think her “pen game” is overrated

She not my cup of tea, but she subjectively isn't trash

She not my cup of tea, but she subjectively isn't trash

your opinion*

She not my cup of tea, but she subjectively isn't trash

Think you mean objectively

She is a singer. Objectively speaking she isnt a good singer... her singing is flat, nasally and she has poor enunciation. Cant understand shyt she saying

For me her songwriting, at least from what I've heard, lacks nuance

Won't call her trash but this idea she some generational talent is crazy to me
