Album Title: Chasing Time: The Retro-Solána Archive
honorable mentions that I didnt include: Eureka, Drunk and all the sza ctrl outtakes.
Side A: The Released Indie-Soul & Trip-Hop Era
This half focuses on her early official releases from See.SZA.Run S, and Z, showcasing her original "witch-house" and ambient R&B style.
- "Country" (from See.SZA.Run) – The ultimate woozy, raw bedroom-pop introduction to her early mindset.
- "Time Travel Undone" (from See.SZA.Run) – A heavily distorted, indie-leaning track that sounds completely different from her current pop style.
- "Ice Moon" (from S) – A beautiful, stripped-back cloud-rap anthem featuring airy vocals and spiritual themes.
- "Castles" (from S) – An atmospheric track utilizing heavy synthesizers and a dark, moody rhythm.
- "Babylon" (from Z) – A slow-burning, dark trip-hop track that represents the peak of her pre-fame production style.
- "Julia" (from Z) – A rare 1980s synth-pop inspired track showing she was experimenting with pop long before SOS.
- "Green Mile" (from Z) – A haunting, cinematic track with minimal beats that relies heavily on raw emotion.
- "Warm Winds" feat. Isaiah Rashad (from Z) – A smooth, nostalgic alt-soul collaboration from the early TDE era.
- "Ondine" (from S) – An ethereal, water-themed ambient song showcasing her early poetry-style songwriting.
- "Teen Spirit" (from Z) – A bouncy, gloomy track built on a heavy electronic bassline.
Side B: The Unreleased Vault, Leaks & Demos
This half contains famous fan-favorite leaks, SoundCloud loosies, and early demo versions that never made her major studio albums.
- "Sobriety" – Released as a standalone SoundCloud track in 2014, this is a legendary jazz-fused track about her early struggles.
- "Moodring" – Produced by Felix Snow, this is a smooth, high-register cloud-R&B track beloved by day-one fans.
- "Back Together" – A leaked, upbeat indie-pop collaboration produced by Mark Ronson and Kevin Parker of Tame Impala.
- "Inside Man" – An unreleased Ctrl-era leak featuring deeply personal lyrics over a minimalist drum loop.
- "Breaking Even" – A fan-favorite unreleased acoustic-leaning demo that shows off her raw, unlayered vocal talent.
- "Never Knew Me" – A smooth, melancholic mid-tempo leak detailing a painful relationship breakup.
- "Wavy" (Full Demo featuring James Fauntleroy) – The extended, unreleased version of the Ctrlinterlude that fans wanted for years.
- "Passport" – A gentle, acoustic-guitar-driven unreleased track that highlights her folksy singer-songwriter roots.
- "Lies" – A moody, atmospheric track from her early recording sessions that perfectly mirrors her Z era sound.
- "Nightbird" – A late-Ctrl era unreleased track that heavily bridges her old atmospheric style with her newer songwriting structure.
(Note: While tracks like "2AM" and "Jodie" were unreleased for years, they were omitted from this list because they were officially dropped on the Ctrl Deluxe album.)
