SZA fans were blessed earlier today as the TDE songstress dropped CTRL (Deluxe). The announcement comes in honor of the five-year anniversary of the cult classic project dropping in 2017. The fourteen-track LP received instant acclaim for its candid lyrics and vocal displays from the “Love Galore” songstress. Now, it’s making its way back with the addition of seven unreleased tracks. SZA already teased on Twitter of unreleased material being on the way to commemorate the occasion.
She also let her audience know that they’ll still have to wait on anything new, as the latest collection of songs are from the album’s era. The newly-released songs are all recordings that SZA made between 2014-2017. According to the Grammy-award winner, it’s all apart of her “spring cleaning” as she looks to drop old miscalleanous tracks from her vault. It’s definitely evident on songs like the alternate version of “Love Galore” and “2AM”, a smooth remake of the PARTYNEXTDOOR staple “Come and See Me”. Despite the songs dating back five years, they all still hold strong replay value and play back beautifully.
Despite it being the biggest amount of new material by the singer in years, the song dump isn’t over just yet. The deluxe songs are just warm-ups for SZA as she hints at dropping more old jams. More can be from other CTRL sessions, as well as some left off from her Z EP or recent throwaways. For certain, everything that didn’t make the cut will be made available on SoundCloud soon.
“What isn’t on deluxe, maybe on SoundCloud as well tomorrow? Deciding. Spring cleaning old thoughts.” – – SZA on Twitter
Since the “Supermodel” vocalist is getting of her old music, it’s possible that SZA’s highly-anticipated album is on the way. Since finishing her album in Hawaii earlier this year, she’s already calling it her most “unisex” project thus far. The release date hasn’t been announced, but she’s already confirmed that fans are in store for a “SZA Summer”.
