Fresh off a GRAMMY win for Best Pop Duo/Performance alongside Doja Cat for “Kiss Me More,” SZA has announced her album is complete.

In a post-Grammy press conference, the ctrl Queen revealed the album is on the way.

“I just finished it up in Hawaii,” SZA said. “And it’s coming soon! I think it’s my most unisex album. I think it’s for everyone.”

At the top of the year, SZA followed up her single, “I Hate U,” with the official video, bringing in Lakeith Stanfield. In the video, Stanfield is in a heated conversation on the phone, giving his best Tom Brady impression and chucking the phone into the ocean.

“I Hate U” broke the record for the most-streamed R&B song by a female artist on Apple Music. “I Hate U” was featured as the cover of Apple Music’s R&B Now playlist, which also featured her last two singles, “Hit Different” and “Good Days.” “I Hate U” currently appears on Apple Music’s Top Songs chart in 102 countries and peaked at #1 on the Daily Top 100 chart globally and in 10 countries (United States, Anguilla, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Guinea-Bissau, Papua New Guinea, and Trinidad and Tobago).

Vince Staples presented the latest track and video for “Rose Street,” from his upcoming album Ramona Park Broke My Heart. The new album is set to be released on April 8th.

Earlier this month, Staples released the video for “Magic.” The video, directed by Prettybird’s KENTEN, comprises a succession of one-take images with camera movement that depict Vince’s day from a surrealist perspective, allowing the audience to perceive everything around him as if they were an observer.

“Magic,” produced by Mustard, is a celebration of how Staples overcame the inner city blues and a system that was supposed to keep him enmeshed in the adversity he grew up in.

“I think it’ll put the listener in a good state of mind,” Staples says. “The mood of it defines the project.” 

Ramona Park Broke My Heart is Staples’ follow-up to his critically praised self-titled album from 2021, which introduced fans to his homeland (the Ramona Park neighborhood of Long Beach, CA) as well as intimate friends and family.
