Editor's note

SZA writes about relationships without the polish

Her songs feel like late-night texts you shouldn't send but do anyway.

If you need a place to start, 'Garden (Say It Like Dat)' and 'Normal Girl' from 'Ctrl' still frame her best. They're the blueprint.

Her 2017 album 'Ctrl' landed because it sounded like someone thinking out loud, not performing. Songs like 'Garden (Say It Like Dat)' and 'Gone Girl' captured the specific unease of modern dating and self-image. More recent tracks like 'Kill Bill' show she can still turn a messy feeling into a hook that sticks.

She put out the mixtape 'Z' in 2014, which had 'Child's Play.' The debut album 'Ctrl' in 2017 is what most people point to. Since then, she's released singles and collaborations that keep the same conversational tone, even when the production gets bigger.

Archive material and source history

SZA, born Solána Imani Rowe in 1989, grew up in St. Louis with parents who worked in music and publishing. She's mentioned being influenced by artists like Lauryn Hill and Radiohead, which might explain the mix of R&B and alternative textures in her work.

Her 2014 mixtape 'Z' included 'Child's Play,' which got some attention online. But it was her 2017 debut album 'Ctrl' that really connected with listeners. Songs like 'Garden (Say It Like Dat)' and 'Gone Girl' from that album felt honest about relationships and self-doubt in a way that didn't sound rehearsed.

More recently, tracks like 'Kill Bill' and 'Used' with Don Toliver have kept her in rotation. She's talked about dealing with anxiety and depression at times, and there was some noise about a sample clearance issue on 'Love Galore' back in 2018. Mostly though, people just listen to the songs.
