it's pretty good but surprisingly twisty for a lead single
― ufo, Friday, 4 September 2020 04:17 (four years ago) link
oh wow the second song (snippet?) tacked onto the video edit is amazing
― unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Friday, 4 September 2020 05:38 (four years ago) link
oh that's a big part of why i said it was twisty, makes more sense if it's not actually part of "hit different"
― ufo, Friday, 4 September 2020 05:43 (four years ago) link
second track is reportedly called "good days"
― ufo, Friday, 4 September 2020 05:48 (four years ago) link
I like “Hit Different” a lot, and that preview track sounds sublime. Great to hear her voice again.

more excited about that second track than "hit different" but it's all quite good so far

loooove both the new track and the snippet — there’s also this video on her IG that’s a snippet of a different new track:

ahhhhhh that sounds so good

I’ve seriously been listening to “Hit Different” on repeat for over 48 hours now — it’s so good to have her back sounding so good and so confident

"featuring ty dolla sign" are some of my least favorite words in the english language :(

here's the full "good days" at last, it's very good, but lol that jacob collier is on backing vocals
― ufo, Friday, 25 December 2020 15:50 (three years ago) link
much better than "hit different"

tame impala ballad vibes (not a bad thing!)

new song is incredible
― J0rdan S., Friday, 8 January 2021 21:31 (three years ago) link
it's so good, absurdly lush with all those woodwinds in the background
― ufo, Saturday, 9 January 2021 01:25 (three years ago) link
Good Days is lovely

i feel like this is quietly becoming a generation-defining song

(the vid, like the one for "hit different," teases another forthcoming song that sounds potentially great)

three new tracks! but really what is going on with her & TDE if she's resorting to leaking stuff like this
― ufo, Sunday, 22 August 2021 22:43 (three years ago) link
seriously
― dyl, Monday, 23 August 2021 01:17 (three years ago) link
at this point i hope she can just manage to get released from her contract or something, like her relationship with TDE has been terrible since before CTRL even & seems to only be worse now
― ufo, Monday, 23 August 2021 02:59 (three years ago) link
all these songs are great smh
the way she released these is interesting in light of kendrick's announcement her twitter bio has "gone fish'n #TDE" as the location lol
― J0rdan S., Monday, 23 August 2021 04:54 (three years ago) link
i don't think kendrick has ever publicly had issues with them though, i figured he probably just wants to move to somewhere bigger now with his contract up, being a gigantic star & all, while sza was complaining about them preventing her from releasing music years before ctrl came out & has continued to blame them for her taking so long to put anything new out
new track are indeed great, "joni" is too short though
― ufo, Monday, 23 August 2021 05:52 (three years ago) link
there’s clearly something going on at tde, most of its artists haven’t released new albums in many years
but yeah, i could see kendrick’s announcement as more of an indication that he wants to be in charge and not subject to top dawg’s whims

Joni is great, definitely want a full length version

full length version of "joni" is apparently planned for the album, with a guest
― ufo, Wednesday, 1 September 2021 05:06 (three years ago) link
nice

officially put out "i hate u" as a single now (it was one of the soundcloud tracks)
hope this means album isn't too far away lol
― ufo, Friday, 3 December 2021 08:52 (two years ago) link
not a new album per se, but there is a ctrl “deluxe” version out today. not sure how new any of the songs are but i certainly haven’t heard them before!

Everything made in 2014-2016 /17… not new lol to be absolutely clear .— SZA (@sza) June 9, 2022
sounds like they're outtakes from the album's sessions as you'd expect
― ufo, Thursday, 9 June 2022 21:49 (two years ago) link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9-YyROo73M
is she going to just put out one song a year until the album's out in a decade's time
this one's weird - the song's there but it feels like half the backing is missing
― ufo, Friday, 28 October 2022 04:39 (one year ago) link
that was my take as well

damn i guess "i hate u" and "hit different" were last year
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 1 November 2022 20:03 (one year ago) link
idk if i'm truly anticipating the upcoming benny blanco-ified sza album
"hit different" was 2020 lol what is time

such a good album
― J0rdan S., Friday, 9 December 2022 07:27 (one year ago) link
i haven't really given this a proper listen (just in bits & pieces throughout the day) but unsurprisingly it's less consistent & cohesive than ctrl but still quite good
― ufo, Friday, 9 December 2022 07:36 (one year ago) link
first listen right now.
lol this is fucking stellar! wow!

― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 9 December 2022 16:30 (one year ago) link
it's been in constant rotation since it dropped. i like it even more now than when i initially posted. easily among the very best of the year. fitting that the only thing she drops this year would've been a highlight on sos too.
