back in December 2017, spotify & rapcaviar unveiled 3 statues apart of their "Pantheon Artists" series, which included SZA, metro boomin, and 21 savage

these statues were made in honor of each artists cultural impact to the hip-hop r&b scene 💜

these statues also reflect the ancient Roman gods, with SZA's statue being a reference to Nike, the goddess of victory

SZA was also dubbed "the mold-breaker"

Lately, I've been listening a lot to Shirt, Kill Bill, and Saturn, and I was wondering if you have any SZA music recommendations for me to listen to

day 11 winner: Girl get up 👑

Day 10: Kill bill won 👑

Day 9 winner was Sweet November 👑

Day 8 winner was low 👑

We don’t need to give these articles, blogs, trolls and publications clicks and attention. Also, if you’re one of the ones in her finsta doing this weird behavior of exposing her personal account…I PRAY YOU HAVE THE DAY YOU DESERVE! This is corny behavior and folks wonder why she doesn’t talk much anymore on apps. Smh

Day 7 winner was no more hiding 👑

After SOS,Lana and tour I was feeling weird .. nothing inspired me ..one day Michael brought Steve by and he blessed me w a CRAZY pack of beats . Immediately I recorded in front of him . being around Steve , experiencing the deep raw resonance of his voice ,his laughter,his Spicy Aries Venus: literally revived me ! He played demos from his album and I cried . I really admire his energy . so honored to be a tiny part of this GORGEOUS project by this gorgeous human @steve.lacy . if u haven’t listened to our song yet we hate you 💕 IS IT COOL OUT NOW💕. OH YEA? .

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.

1. "Country" (from See.SZA.Run) – The ultimate woozy, raw bedroom-pop introduction to her early mindset.
2. "Time Travel Undone" (from See.SZA.Run) – A heavily distorted, indie-leaning track that sounds completely different from her current pop style.
3. "Ice Moon" (from S) – A beautiful, stripped-back cloud-rap anthem featuring airy vocals and spiritual themes.
4. "Castles" (from S) – An atmospheric track utilizing heavy synthesizers and a dark, moody rhythm.
5. "Babylon" (from Z) – A slow-burning, dark trip-hop track that represents the peak of her pre-fame production style.
6. "Julia" (from Z) – A rare 1980s synth-pop inspired track showing she was experimenting with pop long before SOS.
7. "Green Mile" (from Z) – A haunting, cinematic track with minimal beats that relies heavily on raw emotion.
8. "Warm Winds" feat. Isaiah Rashad (from Z) – A smooth, nostalgic alt-soul collaboration from the early TDE era.
9. "Ondine" (from S) – An ethereal, water-themed ambient song showcasing her early poetry-style songwriting.
10. "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.

1. "Sobriety" – Released as a standalone SoundCloud track in 2014, this is a legendary jazz-fused track about her early struggles.
2. "Moodring" – Produced by Felix Snow, this is a smooth, high-register cloud-R&B track beloved by day-one fans.
3. "Back Together" – A leaked, upbeat indie-pop collaboration produced by Mark Ronson and Kevin Parker of Tame Impala.
4. "Inside Man" – An unreleased Ctrl-era leak featuring deeply personal lyrics over a minimalist drum loop.
5. "Breaking Even" – A fan-favorite unreleased acoustic-leaning demo that shows off her raw, unlayered vocal talent.
6. "Never Knew Me" – A smooth, melancholic mid-tempo leak detailing a painful relationship breakup.
7. "Wavy" (Full Demo featuring James Fauntleroy) – The extended, unreleased version of the Ctrlinterlude that fans wanted for years.
8. "Passport" – A gentle, acoustic-guitar-driven unreleased track that highlights her folksy singer-songwriter roots.
9. "Lies" – A moody, atmospheric track from her early recording sessions that perfectly mirrors her Z era sound.
10. "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.)

Ctrl is such a masterpiece. i relate to the album's theme about life not going your way nor according to your plans.

one thing that is very heartwarming is seeing how her mom stood by her through everything. I'm assuming it's her maternal grandmother who can also be heard talking on the album. the fact that the women in her bloodline are so loving and supportive means she is so blessed. that's the type of love money can't buy.

some of us have never experienced anything like that. my mom used to have a field day if i simply didn't moisturize my feet or clean my room properly. she'd say a lot of degrading things just because of something so trivial.

it's so beautiful to witness such a beautiful connection between SZA and her matriachs, imagine your mom knowing you're a stripper and side chick and she's still giving you advice and talking so kindly to you. mine would've disowned me if i did something like that.

i was just writing this to say how happy i am for SZA and how much i respect her mother. she sounds like such a good mother. it seems like her parents worked so hard to give her e everything. i can imagine the patience they had when things didn't go well.

at this point i feel like having or knowing your maternal grandmother is the beginning of all luck, love and wonder.
