MusicSZA promises more new songs soon after releasing the deluxe album “Lana”On social media, the singer shared a conversation with businessman Terrence “Punch” Henderson asking for songs that are already ready to be released today at 7:00 p.m.

One of today’s great artists, the singer SZA launched this Friday (December 20th) the long-awaited Lanadeluxe version of the album SOS (2022).

The project arrived on streaming platforms after almost a year of speculation and teasers shared by the singer, as well as a brief delay.

I only needed a few more hours for the new mixes to be distributed evenly across all platforms… (the mixes are important) I love you”, wrote the artist, justifying the release in the afternoon, and not in the morning as planned .

More news coming soon

As if the 38 tracks of Lana — 15 of them unreleased, in addition to a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar — were not enough, fans of SZA gained even more reasons to celebrate.

Less than 24 hours after the album’s release, the singer promised to share even more songs.

And before you start… Punch gave the green light to release and release all the songs… more things are on the way”, he posted on social media, referring to the businessman Terrence “Punch” Henderson.

SZA also released a screenshot of a conversation with Henderson. In it, the artist requests that three additional tracks — “Take You Down”, “PSA” and “Open Arms” — be released, under the justification that they are already ready.

The businessman responded by advising her to take some time to Lana “breathe for at least a week” and suggested that the songs be released at Christmas or New Year.

Before publishing Lana, SZA also released a music video for the single “Drive”which is part of the disc. The production features the actor Ben Stiller.

The collaboration with Kendrick Lamar happened after she had participated, by surprise, in the album GNXreleased by him last month. The duo also announced a joint tour to 2025 in North America.

SOS

The disk SOSwhich gave rise to the deluxe Lanawas released by SZA at the end of 2022 and elected by Rolling Stone USA as the best of 2023 — the work was selected the following year because it was not released in time for the previous ranking.

“If there was ever any doubt that SZA was a key voice in his generation (which in the five years since his debut in 2017, Ctrlthey could very well have sown), SOS decimated. Their second LP was sly and full of surprises. She rocks! She raps! She accepts rumors and rumors about herself! But its staying power outweighed its shock value. The album was released in December 2022, after we published our 2022 list, but it made its mark in 2023, topping the charts year-round (including a record 10 weeks at number one), dominating the cultural conversation in a level that no 2023 release could compare to and earning nine nominations at the Grammy”, wrote the journalist Mankaprr Conteh in the review.

“In SOS, SZA contorts disparate genres around her raw emotion and talented verbiage with the sense of control she craved on her first record. Who else could sing ‘You were balls deep, now we beefin’ as the second line of an acoustic guitar ballad? The album goes from peak to peak. ‘Snooze’ is easily one of the best R&B songs of this century. If ‘F2F’ had been released in 2004 and misogyny didn’t exist, she would have headlined Warped Tour. ‘Smoking on My Ex Pack’ earned him the Wu-Tang reference of his stage name. This fall, when we chose her for the cover of the Grammys preview issue of Rolling Stonewe saw the ingenuity, creativity and courage that made the SOS so special in a crowded field: ‘I’m here to do better all the time,’ she told us, ‘because that’s how I was built.’”
