Let me start off by saying, I love Sza. She is gorgeous and very talented. Why isn't she as popular as she should be? I don't know. That's why I decided to write about her and the music. If you are a fan of Kendrick Lamar, you know he is affiliated with TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment).. that's a good start. Well, Sza is the first lady of TDE (as I like to call her); meaning she is the only woman who has a record deal under TDE.
Sza has done some work with Kendrick Lamar and other artists, but I discovered her through the "Teen Spirit" music video uploaded to YouTube that so happened to grace my timeline on Twitter. I clicked on the video and I lost my mind! She is so talented. If you haven't heard of the song, go check it out on YouTube! I tried to find the song everywhere so I could download it and I didn't have any luck.
Thankfully, to my surprise she released her first album, "Z" a few months later and I was blown away. I saw her album on iTunes and I was too excited than I needed to be at 2am in the morning. The album includes 10 songs and is 41 minutes long. If you haven't heard her album, you are missing out! I'm guessing their may be another album around somewhere since this album is titled, "Z." There must be an "S!" ...or she just titled the album"Z" because it's cool. Either way, I love the album and I think it should be heard by all. Of course Kendrick Lamar is featured on the album. There are also other artists like Isaiah Rashad and Chance the Rapper. I like how she does not sing the typical songs we are used to black female artists singing. She gives us a good sample of multiple sounds that would appeal to a variety of individuals. It's so out of the box and unique. I highly recommend this album to anyone who wants to hear a refreshing and unique sound that Sza can only create!
