“I think I am making music from a more beautiful place,” SZA said. “From a more possible place versus a more angsty place. I’m not identifying with my brokenness. It’s not my identity.

#SZA’s journey from college dropout to record-breaking, genre-defying, Pyramid Stage-performing global phenomenon is all but complete. What remains, Amel Mukhtar discovers in the December 2024 issue of #BritishVogue, is a deeply personal struggle of never-ending self-discovery.… pic.twitter.com/ynhcqVLmdu
