SZA
Maplewood, NJ • R&B / Alt-R&B • b. 1989
The story
SZA was the first woman signed to Top Dawg Entertainment, and Ctrl in 2017 made ambivalence itself the subject of mainstream R&B — songs that contradict themselves mid-verse and admit the unflattering thought out loud. SOS followed after a five-year gap and spent ten weeks at number one. 'Kill Bill' and 'Snooze' have both passed a billion streams.
