Just when you thought the SOS era was winding down, SZA proves she’s nowhere near finished. The genre-defying singer has been on a fascinating rollout journey—teasing, releasing, and then re-releasing music under the SOS umbrella. Fans have been waiting on a deluxe edition of the album for over a year, and now, SZA has thrown in yet another twist: a deluxe to the deluxe. If that sounds unconventional, it’s because it is. But SZA has always played by her own rules, and her latest move only reinforces that.
SZA Has more LANA songs on the way
Back in December, SZA hinted at dropping additional tracks. Ones she initially ran by TDE’s Top Dawg for approval. He gave her the green light but advised her to wait so the original LANA (SOS Deluxe) could breathe. Now, that wait is officially over!
SZA has confirmed that the bonus songs will drop on February 9th at 7 PM EST—smack dab in the middle of Super Bowl weekend. This strategic timing isn’t random, either. The Super Bowl is shaping up to be a major moment for the singer, as she joins former labelmate Kendrick Lamar for the Halftime Show.
SZA and Kendrick Lamar
SZA’s involvement in the Super Bowl performance came as a late but welcome addition, reinforcing the creative synergy she’s been sharing with Kendrick Lamar. The two have been moving in lockstep, from their Harper’s Bazaar interview to the announcement of their co-headlining tour in 2025. Truly a perfectly timed alignment. Their chemistry extends beyond the stage, too, as their collaborations continue to resonate. Records like “Luther” and “30 for 30” have been fan favorites, showcasing their unique ability to elevate one another’s artistry. With millions of eyes locked onto the Super Bowl, SZA is seizing the opportunity to drop new music at the peak of the hype.
Beyond the music SZA’s expanding horizons
It’s been a busy season for SZA outside of the studio as well. She recently starred opposite Keke Palmer in the film One of Them Days and took time for self-reflection during a 10-day silent retreat in India. The retreat, which she discussed in an interview with Quierra Luck, gave her a fresh perspective on patience and inner peace.
“Not everything has to be said, and waiting is really important… a lot of what we create for ourselves as far as drama and chaos is dependent on our willingness to go beyond that pain” she reflected.
The SOS era lives on
SZA’s ability to evolve, experiment, and embrace the unexpected is what keeps her artistry so captivating. While many artists move on to the next project, she’s stretching SOS into something bigger. An era that refuses to fade. With new music arriving, a Super Bowl performance, and a massive tour on the way, SZA is making it clear that this chapter is far from over. And honestly… We’re here for every twist and turn. Let us know your thoughts in the comments here at REMIXD Magazine.
