Quality and quantity!
What an album!
What an album!
It's tremendously uplifting. I've put it on a playlist called Restorative on Spotify that I listen to when I've had a hard day at work and it always makes me feel better.
This is one of my albums of the year.

Mmm the flavor!!

Snooze is currently my favourite track!
The great thing about Snooze is it is deceptively a love song, but the bridge reveals an undercurrent of heartbreak, which is SZA at her best.
Snooze, lyrically, never fails to make me think of Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. Which is not a bad thing,
Everyone finally woke up it appears xo!

Snooze cracks me up. I hadn't paid attention to the first verse, so I thought it was just her take on a loved-up classic R&B song. But then I read the lyrics and almost died:
I'll touch that fire for you
I do that three four times again, I testify for you
I told that lie, I'd kill that bitch
I do what all of them around you scared to do, I'm not
Long as you juggin' out here for me, I got it
Mobbin', schemin', lootin', hide your bodies
Long as you dreamin' 'bout me, ain't no problem
I don't got nobody, just with you right now
Tell the truth, I look better under you
I'll touch that fire for you
I do that three four times again, I testify for you
I told that lie, I'd kill that bitch
I do what all of them around you scared to do, I'm not
Long as you juggin' out here for me, I got it
Mobbin', schemin', lootin', hide your bodies
Long as you dreamin' 'bout me, ain't no problem
I don't got nobody, just with you right now
Tell the truth, I look better under you
I don't wanna be your girlfriend
I'm just tryna be your person
I don't need to be your girl, uh
Cool with just being your person, uh
Already tried to be your girl
We can't evеn speak, but you stay on my mind
I can't regret no time spent with you
And I still wonder if you notice me, yes
I'm just tryna be your person
I don't need to be your girl, uh
Cool with just being your person, uh
Already tried to be your girl
We can't evеn speak, but you stay on my mind
I can't regret no time spent with you
And I still wonder if you notice me, yes
SZA’s songwriting is very stream of consciousness so it’s not a narrative neatly tied together, but it’s mostly a song about how she’s falling out emotionally of her relationship with her man because he is no longer giving her what she needs: security, space, etc.
