SZA - S.O.S.

[goldsoundz]

Come through Solana Lavigne (this is in re: the single, not the leak).

 

[Truce]

Half of a bottle of wine down and I’m going in, girls.

 

[BrokenHearts]

Arriving home to listen, I'm way too excited.

 

[SloMover]

On my second play through and I’m loving the album. I don’t think it’s impactful as CTRL but really, not many albums are.

Really interested to see how this album continues to reveal itself upon more listens but it’s nice to have SZA back.

Gonna listen to this on the plane ride home this afternoon. Will I cry? Maybe!

Everyone say "Thank you, F2F!"

 

[An Insider]

Get all around you and I regress
On a side with demons I digest
I'm just high off repeating, I digress
Trying to find deeper meaning in nonsense
Trying to grow without hating the process

 

[Truce]

I have…many thoughts but above all: absolutely. I don’t think I’m capable of actually hating anything she does, but this is a success in my book.

 

[Vasilios]

This is a masterpiece.

 

[Euphoria]

I've settled on a Top 5:

- F2F (!!!)
- Good Days
- Blind
- Low
- SOS

Oh Kill Bill is amazing. I have actively kept myself from listening the pre-released songs and am so excited for my first listen.

I honestly prefer "bloated" albums especially when the material is as good as this. I will take every second i can get, thank you.

 

[spaceship]

Can we discuss how good she sounds on every track? Every vocal take is perfect.

(Waiting for the drags that she had 5 years to record it.)

 

[colouroffensive]

I’m over 50% through - I adore this record so much. She sounds gorgeous, every song (so far) hits just right and F2F!!! Let’s talk about F2F!!!

 

[Petty Mayonnaise]

Cause you never saw me
Like I was an art piece
Like I was an ordinary girl
I wish I was special
I gave all my special
Away to a loser
Now I’m just a loser
I used to be special
But you made me hate me
Regret that I changed me
I hate that you made me just like you

 

[Mikal]

F2F is fucking spectacular. Instant classic.

I've settled on a Top 5:

It's been out 9 hours. Have you slept?!

 

[Euphoria]

F2F is fucking spectacular. Instant classic.


It's been out 9 hours. Have you slept?!

I'm in the US on the West Coast, I used a VPN earlier in the day to listen when it was released in New Zealand, so that's the only reason I've had some time with it already.

 

[heavymetalgaga]

Wow, F2F really lives up to the hype. That fucking outro

I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you
I fuck 'em 'cause I really miss you
I fuck 'em to forget you

 

[Remyky22]

What are these comments about the album being bloated? Something with a consistently sky-high level of quality cannot be considered bloated. Despite the length, there are hardly any filler tracks, and it's also conceptually and sonically cohesive. It's not like you have 23 tracks to rack up the streams, you have them so you can get deeper into it and cry more lmao.

Anyway, the album is spectacular. Every song brings something new and necessary and unpacking it is pure enjoyment. It's adventurous but refined, it's so fun and dynamic, but it is also so self-assured in its vulnerability and depth.

 

[HippoSteaks]

Just got to F2F and it's definitely the highlight so far, though it's all been good so far. Can't believe it's been 5 years or so.
