sza not winning a grammy for ctrl was actually one of the biggest robberies in my life time at the grammys, ctrl put her on the map for YEAAARS! the songs are so well written well produced and timeless asf
@@ye23.Work done or not she's still amazing, atleast shes winning her life compared to bitches screaming everywhere about Surgery, if you need to talk about other people lives to be heard man ure a miserable piece of sh
@@trinityshears27 The song was only about sex, nothing more. She never explores anything else with the man. Also, "The feelin' is reckless, of knowin' it's selfish, and knowin' I'm desperate..." shows that she was just lonely and looking for any (sexual) companionship.
Her saying she doesn’t feel like writing vulnerable music anymore because people can’t take it literally breaks my heart. Her fans who’ve been here from the start love her and stuck with her because of how vulnerable her music is and how unique her songwriting is. 💔
She said she doesn’t want to share her most vulnerable music. I think she still writes it. If she is, that’s good for her right? She can at least process her emotions privately
Ctrl was the most important rnb albums of the 2010s. Sza came into the game with a different sound. Her lyrics were relatable, her sound wasn’t typical rnb, she wasn’t singing about falling in love, but any and everything. I listened to her before ctrl and felt like she was always gonna make it because she created a youthful and different sound in rnb. People tried to recreate her sound, but they don’t have her voice or emotion. Sza knows how to sing in a way where you feel her exact emotion. Like when she sings in kill bill, it’s supposed to be an angry song about revenge and breakups, but her voice sounds defeated, like she doesn’t want to be this person but her feelings drive her to be that way. Consideration had her dna written all over it and I wish rih just let her have it or at least let her sing on it alone and still put it on the album he same way drake did it for skepta
CTRL is ICONIC. I was like 19 at the time but love galore had gone viral. then i listened to the rest of the album and realized i recognized her voice from the track she did with chance the rapper (childs play). every single song from ctrl hit. her writing ability is unmatched and her vocals compliment her swimmingly. I will continue to support her and her music.
i love that sza acknowledge that kiss me first is doja's song and wanted doja to have her full on first grammy moment. but it was also a collaboration and i wish sza would have fully accepted it as her own moment too bc she added so much to an already top tier song. but i totally get it.
The amount of times I’ve cried to her songs because I was feeling that exact thing is crazy, I love you Solána! Never stop doing what you’re doing for us and for yourself.
SOS was really worth the 5 year wait Like she really EXCEEDED herself I thought i was obsessed with CTRL when i say SOS STAYS on rotation. No sophomore slump from Queen Sza
She’s come so far in her career and I’m so proud of her. I remember when Love Galore was just a lil snippet floating thru the internet and now she could sweep at next year’s Grammys. Very well deserved.
I felt what she said about that Riri song she wrote. It's gotta be so hard to write a hit for a big artist and to still believe you can write one for yourself. Queen. She's Obiwan in the matrix baby
That’s so interesting hearing how the Consideration collab came to be. That was the first time I’d heard her so in hindsight it was a perfect gateway to her music, but I can totally see how it would feel devastating for her at the time
You can tell she’s lowkey like 😬 to some of the lyrics because they leave her ‘naked’ & exposed. I appreciate the bold things she has shared with us over the years❤
She so real for the statement of not wanting to be vulnerable but it sucks because to those who’d appreciate it have to miss out and not only that, vulnerability is such a strong and impactful thing, we’re really missing out.
Girl you've unveiled some things that are really amazing, love to see u happier and in this state of mind, so thrilled to listen nonstop to LANA cuz I know I'm gonna adore it.
Stop trying to make her look like a liar dude. She probably had a tv in her family house, and then when she grew up she never had one until recently. Not that hard to believe…
the thing that i love most about her and her music is that she's just so genuine and it's kinda sad that now that it has more reach, it's starting to make her feel she should share less of her vulnerability
4:37 "reading makes me tired" That is such a relief to hear from SZA herself because i struggle to have that habit of reading, but i could learn all her lyrics with devotion ✨️💫👑 i still wanna grow with my intellect tho
That song was Sza song they gave it to Rihanna, because she was the more bigger and establish artist at that time. If you listen to it they just kept, her background vocals on The song and made her a ft. ❤both of them but that was messed up what these record labels do.
@@moe5415the label did the same thing to Tinashe with her song “Joyride”, it was the title track for her album and one of her fave songs she made at the time but Rihanna wanted it for her own album, she didn’t wanna give it up but had no say against the label. Just for Rihanna to not even use the song and she had to fight to get it back to put out on her album
Sza is so inspiring as singer ,and songwriter love her she deserves all the success and more so happy for her absolutely cant wait to hear more news music in 2024 🎉❤
I love how fearless u present yourself....good, bad, flaws & all, in your music....so real....many ppl can't handle that level of truth in their music...but i' am so thankful for your voice....🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽♏🤗
Yo when I say I met her she’s the realest in this industry I have most respect for her and only want her happy and to win the most Im rocking with her the long way no turning back fr she’s down to earth we need more people like her in the world fr 💙💛
when she said, sharing less with people cause their aren't mature for such like damn felt also her saying she has more work coming out my goodness the day I see her live for days on end yes I'ma cry ❤
I’m so glad Ice.Moon was included because S, Z, & See Sza Run raised me in high school and Sza will always be my fav because her pen game is out of this world!
I love her so much❤Her voice is absolutely amazing and beautiful when one of her songs just played in a mix and I feel in love with the sound of her voice
i hate that people have made her feel like she can’t share her more vulnerable music.
frrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Same :((
The industry does that to artist
@@nenej12not just the industry, also the people who consume the music. not the sweetest place to be openly vulnerable in
i was gonna say the same thing. people are such bullies it's insane

I agree 100%
109% Robbery, but the biggest robbery is still Kendrick with Good Kid MAD City loosing against Mackelmore
@@xBashHDnow I’m mad.. I almost forget abt that 🥲
I think it’s only cuz it wasn’t as popular as it was until the deluxe version came out and it got even MOREEE hype but it was definitely a robbery
Nicki never got one either the Grammys are a scam
SZA so damn pretty 😭
“ariana what are you doing here” 😂😂
Very 😭😭
I Need Her fr 😫😍
The amount of work shes had done she should be
@@ye23.Work done or not she's still amazing, atleast shes winning her life compared to bitches screaming everywhere about Surgery, if you need to talk about other people lives to be heard man ure a miserable piece of sh
“But there is a girl that’s *dying* for you to be her man. It just is not me.” 💀🤣 I love her for explaining The Weekend that way.
i always thought some completely different about that song so it’s so funny to here she ain’t care about that man for real
@@trinityshears27 The song was only about sex, nothing more. She never explores anything else with the man.
Also, "The feelin' is reckless, of knowin' it's selfish, and knowin' I'm desperate..." shows that she was just lonely and looking for any (sexual) companionship.
@@trinityshears27 i feel like the song captures what she said it meant pretty concretely and explicitly
yessss
That's so messy when you've been the other girl before tho.. . 🙄✨ Live and you learn tho.
I can listen to SZA music for hours.
Me
Me too....I just would never pay to see her perform live. She can't hold her breath 😂
Same, I’m currently waiting for Lana to be released
I can listen to her talk for hours
@@jonyonce same.

True!!
yeah it hurts a lots cause that’s the music the fuels me most
She said she doesn’t want to share her most vulnerable music. I think she still writes it. If she is, that’s good for her right? She can at least process her emotions privately
She’s so down to earth, I really like her energy. You can tell her music is like her diary that we all happen to be listening to.

shut up you talk to damn much aint nobody reading all that. 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

Thank you Variety for inviting mother SZA for this shoot! She’s so amazing and I can’t wait for she has in store for us!❤
It made me smile so hard knowing that she knows her songs so well 😂
As she should, she wrote them. I'd be disappointed if not lol
She performs them every other day wtf
The amount of times I’ve cried to her songs because I was feeling that exact thing is crazy, I love you Solána! Never stop doing what you’re doing for us and for yourself.
She just said she's stopped. People are so annoying.
CELEBRTIES ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS
@@gabrielmagallanes5513 never said she was babe
@@peachesandpoets including you
@@peachesandpoetsliterally
Hoping she gets at least 1 grammy even though she deserves all of them.😊 she won 2 tonight so far
she better get most of them istg, she deserves sm
@_NicoleEboni I hope so she up against Taylor so who knows.
she's been nominated for a bunch of categories so lets hope and pray
She deserves it, SOS is the best album of 2022 and 2023 for me!
@@naiistiredmost nominated actually!!
I just love her, she’s so inspiring as a writer and I can’t want for this new music
Hate the fact that she feels like she can't share more sides of her, Sza is really an amazing artist and person and deserves the whole world
SOS was really worth the 5 year wait
Like she really EXCEEDED herself
I thought i was obsessed with CTRL when i say SOS STAYS on rotation. No sophomore slump from Queen Sza
She’s come so far in her career and I’m so proud of her. I remember when Love Galore was just a lil snippet floating thru the internet and now she could sweep at next year’s Grammys. Very well deserved.

She hadn't even written it for Ri, Ri and the label took it from SZA essentially.
❤
Ofc she know her lyrics SHE WRITE THEM, sza pen game is something 🤧 she so talented
That’s so interesting hearing how the Consideration collab came to be. That was the first time I’d heard her so in hindsight it was a perfect gateway to her music, but I can totally see how it would feel devastating for her at the time
such a queen❤I'm really happy she had this success...well deserved
She’s such a great soul
i love the movie references in her recent album it’s so cute
The way she just casually shuts down one of the biggest rumors about her and Drake 😂
It’s true lol they benn on each other I guess they moved on
She’s too old. He was fondling little kids. Not surprising at this point
You can tell she’s lowkey like 😬 to some of the lyrics because they leave her ‘naked’ & exposed. I appreciate the bold things she has shared with us over the years❤
seeing sza in a black buss down middle part is something I never thought i see
Been a fan since her Z album (personal fave), her growth and success is admirable
she looks so good in a bussdown 😅 this is my favorite interview she’s done in a while.
She so real for the statement of not wanting to be vulnerable but it sucks because to those who’d appreciate it have to miss out and not only that, vulnerability is such a strong and impactful thing, we’re really missing out.
I love her authenticity it’s so special and rare to see these days. She’s here to stay. Best friend in my head🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹
SZA literally got the calmest voice in the world
SZA is just a wonderful, creative and such beautiful soul. This is why I love her and her music so much and have for years.
Girl you've unveiled some things that are really amazing, love to see u happier and in this state of mind, so thrilled to listen nonstop to LANA cuz I know I'm gonna adore it.
My #1 artist. I love her energy and her music. So happy I got to see her live ❤
SZA once said she never owned a tv. Now she saying tv is a big inspiration in her writing 😂 love her regardless
Lmao
Just because she never owned one doesn’t mean she never saw other TVs or television shows with other friends and family members 😂
Shush! Lol Lets not talk about the lies lol
Stop trying to make her look like a liar dude. She probably had a tv in her family house, and then when she grew up she never had one until recently. Not that hard to believe…
@@Mark.mp3 I’m not making her look like a liar. She does that all on her own
She is so therapeutic to watch. I love her ❤️
I love how gracious she is, and the stuff she feels she cant put out, i hope she does, sometimes it just takes one person to make a difference 😊
I love how real and open she is about her music journey and the emotional experiences behind her songs.
I love SZA with all my heart
me 2
Real❤
The one artist I listen to consistently. The way she processes her emotions helps me process mine. Thank you szn! 💕 can’t wait for more music. 🎵
It’s 2023 and I’m just now realizing I’ve never heard this woman speak a day in my life
Urm heloo
the thing that i love most about her and her music is that she's just so genuine and it's kinda sad that now that it has more reach, it's starting to make her feel she should share less of her vulnerability
ONE OF THE BEST ARTISTS!!!!!
That's so sweet of Variety to put in her in a backdrop with mountains and greenery so that way she feels more in her element ❤
i always come back to ctrl hits every time!!! the story telling, the emotion, and the unique sound. thank u sza
Her music, her personality, Sza herself is just beautifully perfect🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽.
Girl been with you since sound cloud,I still go back to all your old eps over there
Bring on the new music SZA! 🙌🏽 SOS constantly gets played everyday! Super proud of her and the accomplishments she has achieved! 👏🏽🩵

That is such a relief to hear from SZA herself because i struggle to have that habit of reading, but i could learn all her lyrics with devotion ✨️💫👑 i still wanna grow with my intellect tho

I knew she was lying about stopping her music career! Cannot wait for whatever music she comes up with!
I love her personality because she's always been relatable.
I love Sza. Her music is soo calming yet relatable. Beautiful inside and out. I have to make my way to one of her concerts.
Honestly one of the greatest artists of our time I hope she doesn’t let these people get to her head
