Since 2022, when her most popular album launched her to stardom, a sequel has been long awaited.
Throughout the years this artist has created numerous hits.
The hopes for this album were high and when it was released these hopes were met.
American Singer-Songwriter SZA released her third studio album, SOS Deluxe: Lana on December 20.
The new album is the deluxe version of her most popular album, SOS.
SOS Deluxe added 15 new tracks, creating an album with 38 songs.
The new songs on this album were artistically created, focusing on their lyrics.
SZA used this album to show her growth and improvement in the 2 years since her previous album.
According to Apple Music, in “Smoking on My Ex Pack” and “Far,” SZA discusses moving on and letting go of her past relationships.
Though these are just some examples, most of the songs on this album have some deeper meaning that relates to SZA’s life.
Some critics think the 15 new songs should have been a stand-alone album.
This opinion is based on the belief that, given SZA’s popularity, the album would have been successful regardless.
Excitement for this album rose when, in February of 2024, SZA released “Saturn” as an unexpected teaser for her next album.
She debuted this song in a commercial that aired during the 66th Grammy Awards in 2024.
This song rapidly gained traction on social media, generating significant buzz for her new album.
Overall, SZA created an album that skillfully combines the arts of song and poetry.
SOS Deluxe: Lana is available on Apple Music, Spotify or anywhere else you get your music.
