From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SZA (born 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Credited with significantly influencing contemporary R&B, she rose to fame with her first two studio albums, Ctrl (2017) and SOS (2022). Both saw critical and commercial success. SOS topped charts in several countries and produced her first global number-one "Kill Bill", and both albums were ranked by Rolling Stone as two of the 500 greatest of all time. Her accolades include five Grammy awards and a Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. SZA's writing style has been described by critics as taking a vulnerable, reflective, and sincere tone, exploring themes like sexuality and self-worth. Her main genre categorization in the media is R&B, although she has rejected the label and prefers to be uncategorized.
