SZA unveils the tracklist for her sophomore album ‘SOS.’
Including collaborations with Phoebe Bridgers, Travis Scott, Don Toliver and more. SZA announced the release date of her new album, SOS, during her performance of her song “Shirt” on Saturday Night Live. Just as she finished the song, a screen behind her briefly read “SOS 12/9.” Find the official trailer for the new album below.
Late last month, SZA revealed the album art for SOS, which resembles a famous photo of Diana, Princess of Wales, on the diving board of a yacht. The new record is SZA’s follow-up to her 2017 album, Ctrl. In October, she shared the single “Shirt” with a video featuring Lakeith Stanfield.
Ahead of her Saturday Night Live musical guest spot next month, SZA has revealed the title of her upcoming, much-anticipated new album: S.O.S.
Speaking to Billboard, the singer said that the LP — the follow-up to 2017’s Ctrl — is still on course for an undetermined December release date; SZA will appear on the Keke Palmer-hosted episode of SNL on Dec. 3.
SZA added that she’s “currently stressed” about meeting the December deadline. “I could literally burst into tears and run through this wall at any moment. I am effectively falling apart,” she told Billboard. “But it’s not like, the album pressure… It’s just, life is fucking hard. To be expected to do anything at a high level while life is life-ing is fucking crazy. This isn’t meant for a person; it’s meant for a machine.”
In October, SZA finally and officially released her new single “Shirt,” two years after first teasing it as a non-LP track; the song is now destined for S.O.S. Then last week, SZA dropped a teaser for her upcoming new album that featured morse code that spelled out, appropriately, “S-O-S.”
Last month, SZA spoke to Complex about her album-making progress, saying it was “all over the place” but that she didn’t feel rushed to release it.
After years of anticipation, SZA will finally release S.O.S., the followup to her 2017 classic CTRL, on December 9th.
The singer made the announcement while performing on Saturday Night Live. While performing her hit “Shirt,” “S.O.S. December 9th” started to appear in the background. For her second performance, SZA would do a riveting rendition of “Blind.” This episode of SNL was hosted by Keke Palmer, who revealed that she was pregnant during her monologue.
Last month, SZA revealed to Billboard that SOS would be coming out in December, after years of delays and moments of tension with her label, TDE. During the interview, she talked a bit about some of the tension she feels as an artist who has been able to gain a rabid fanbase. She told the publication.
