We’ve been getting more from SZA the past few months than we have in a while and fans are asking for an album. With two singles already on deck, it is looking like the TDE princess is finalizing a new project. Today, the songstress revealed she is Cosmopolitan‘s next cover star and she is taking about new music, inspiration during quarantine, new sounds and past award snubs.
On her new album:
“Sometimes you just want to make something fucking awful just to rage against the system, but that’s not where I’m at. In this space, I just want to do what I want without any pressure, without any hyper-conversation about it. This album is going to be the shit that made me feel something in my… here and in here. That’s what’s going to go on the album. I’m making all different types of shit every day from different places in my spirit.
2020 definitely affected my ability to create and just the way I see everything. It forced me to restructure. I’m bored as fuck when I’m not overwhelmed.”
On her GRAMMYs snubs in 2019:
“I’m just a girl from the ’burbs. I never had dreams of being nominated for a Grammy. I thought I was going to be a gymnast and a fucking business accountant somewhere. Or working at Nike corporate or some shit in Portland. Who knows, but something that involved a power suit. So it’s not a heavy burden. Once you’ve been nominated and lost, you’re very much free because you’re not concerned. I passed that threshold years ago—it’s an old energy to me. Why would I be mad?”
