Before publication Wool, SZA he also released a music video for the single “Guide”which is part of the album. The production presents the actor Ben Stiller.

SOS
The record SOSwhich gave rise to the deluxe Woolwas released by SZA at the end of 2022 and elected by Rolling Stone USA as best of 2023 — the work was selected the following year because it was not published in time for the previous ranking.
“If there was ever any doubt about that SZA was a key voice of his generation (which five years after his debut in 2017, Ctrlthey could very well have sown), SOS decimated. Their second LP was sneaky 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 released our 2022 list, but made its mark in 2023, climbing the charts all year (including a record 10 weeks at number one), dominating the conversation cultural at a level that no 2023 release could compare to and earning nine nominations at the Grandmother“, wrote the journalist Mankaprr Conteh in the review.
“In SOS, SZA he twists disparate genres around his raw emotion and talented verbiage with the sense of control he craved on his 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. ‘Postpone’ is undoubtedly one of the best R&B songs of this century. If ‘F2F’ had it come out in 2004 and misogyny didn’t exist, she would have headlined the 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 Rolling Stonewe saw the ingenuity, creativity and courage that made the SOS so special in a crowded field: “I’m here to always do better,” she told us, “because that’s how I was built.”
