SZA - S.O.S.

[superloves]

Seek & Destroy is doing it for me on these cold winter evenings.

 

[StratusJM]

SZA Charts is eating good today. She also has the entire top 10 on US Spotify and 16 out of the top 50 global. So happy for her. Really happy to see Shirt getting a second wind (#10 US, #20 global) in particular.

I’m actually shook there’s no skips. I’m sure once I’ve listened enough, some tracks will get less plays from me, but overall I’m enjoying the entire album. Also, Good Days remains one of the best songs of all time.

 

[Mr Blonde]

Kill Bill is a hit. She’s funny for that one.

 

[JXCK94]

I was skeptical pre-release at the idea of there being 23 songs and the potential of there being some filler but wow she proved me wrong. So many standout tracks. It's been on constant repeat since release yesterday.

 

[slaybellz]

I'm addicted to the vocal runs in Nobody Gets Me's chorus... I can't get enough!

 

[BrokenHearts]

The album getting inside my last.fm top 20 of the year. It's on repeat.

 

[Heartthrob]

It’s crazy impressive how this album holds 20+ songs and still somehow feels really cohesive and tight. I would’ve loved longer versions of pretty much every song on here, but the fact that they are short and light on their feet makes the whole thing very digestible.

I don’t really like it nn. Oh well.

 

[cleosnatchra]

Surprised not to see much reaction to Too Late! It was so instant for me!

Meanwhile Gone Girl and Nobody Gets Me I’m finding a bit cheesy, especially the latter.

My top 5 right now (not including the singles):
Blind
Too Late
Notice Me
Kill Bill
F2F

 

[Vitamin]

Kill Bill might be my favourite. So psycho yet so relatable.

 

[Jersey]

I feel like everyone is really sleeping on “Snooze”. Like, wake up!!

 

[reputation.]

This album is so incredible. Tracks 1-14 are pretty bulletproof with no skips. The run from "Conceited" to "Far" is the weakest to me, but they're still listenable.

I definitely prefer this to CTRL to be honest.

 

[BrokenHearts]

The album that doesn't stop growing. It's amazing.

 

[K94]

Definitely will need to sit with it more but I like it a lot! The second half, from the Phoebe collab onwards, is amazing. Like most albums with a similar number of songs, it could have done with some editing but she's so boundlessly talented - too see her go through different musical directions within the album, is a treat. F2F is obviously the best on it.

 

[Jersey]

I can’t stress enough just how strong her pen game is. Even versus the lo-fi production, her writing just makes every track viable in some sort of way.

Still trying to figure out where “Hit Different” works best, I’m thiiinking between “Far” and “Shirt”.

 

[spaceship]

I know it’s only been 48 hours, but Love Language is highkey one of her best songs, I’m afraid.

 

[Soygirl]

Not my serotonin deficient ass actually finding Ghost In The Machine to be the weakest track? The potential is just not realised and it’s just… there. Its placement being right in the middle doesn’t really help too.

I find it somewhat amusing how artists like her or Vampire Weekend who made albums that soundtracked the formative years in my 20s (CTRL, Modern Vampires of The City) came back with these maximalist, all-out style albums.

 

[Veeis]

I still need a few more replays to made up my mind which tracks stand out and which tracks I like the most, but Kill Bill might be top contender for my favourite song of this record.
