i hate that people have made her feel like she can’t share her more vulnerable music.

sza not winning a grammy for ctrl was actually one of the biggest robberies in my life time at the grammys, ctrl put her on the map for YEAAARS! the songs are so well written well produced and timeless asf

SZA so damn pretty 😭

I can listen to SZA music for hours.

“But there is a girl that’s *dying* for you to be her man. It just is not me.” 💀🤣 I love her for explaining The Weekend that way.

Her saying she doesn’t feel like writing vulnerable music anymore because people can’t take it literally breaks my heart. Her fans who’ve been here from the start love her and stuck with her because of how vulnerable her music is and how unique her songwriting is. 💔

It made me smile so hard knowing that she knows her songs so well 😂

Ctrl was the most important rnb albums of the 2010s. Sza came into the game with a different sound. Her lyrics were relatable, her sound wasn’t typical rnb, she wasn’t singing about falling in love, but any and everything. I listened to her before ctrl and felt like she was always gonna make it because she created a youthful and different sound in rnb. People tried to recreate her sound, but they don’t have her voice or emotion. Sza knows how to sing in a way where you feel her exact emotion. Like when she sings in kill bill, it’s supposed to be an angry song about revenge and breakups, but her voice sounds defeated, like she doesn’t want to be this person but her feelings drive her to be that way. Consideration had her dna written all over it and I wish rih just let her have it or at least let her sing on it alone and still put it on the album he same way drake did it for skepta

Hoping she gets at least 1 grammy even though she deserves all of them.😊 she won 2 tonight so far

Thank you Variety for inviting mother SZA for this shoot! She’s so amazing and I can’t wait for she has in store for us!❤

She’s so down to earth, I really like her energy. You can tell her music is like her diary that we all happen to be listening to.

i love that sza acknowledge that kiss me first is doja's song and wanted doja to have her full on first grammy moment. but it was also a collaboration and i wish sza would have fully accepted it as her own moment too bc she added so much to an already top tier song. but i totally get it.

The amount of times I’ve cried to her songs because I was feeling that exact thing is crazy, I love you Solána! Never stop doing what you’re doing for us and for yourself.

I just love her, she’s so inspiring as a writer and I can’t want for this new music

Hate the fact that she feels like she can't share more sides of her, Sza is really an amazing artist and person and deserves the whole world

SOS was really worth the 5 year wait Like she really EXCEEDED herself I thought i was obsessed with CTRL when i say SOS STAYS on rotation. No sophomore slump from Queen Sza

I felt what she said about that Riri song she wrote. It's gotta be so hard to write a hit for a big artist and to still believe you can write one for yourself. Queen. She's Obiwan in the matrix baby

Ofc she know her lyrics SHE WRITE THEM, sza pen game is something 🤧 she so talented

The way she just casually shuts down one of the biggest rumors about her and Drake 😂

She’s come so far in her career and I’m so proud of her. I remember when Love Galore was just a lil snippet floating thru the internet and now she could sweep at next year’s Grammys. Very well deserved.

SZA once said she never owned a tv. Now she saying tv is a big inspiration in her writing 😂 love her regardless

i love the movie references in her recent album it’s so cute

Been listening to SZA since I was in high school and I’m 29 now, she been speaking to my ENTIRE young adulthood and navigating these complicated (and sometimes idiotic) emotions that come with learning who you are and where/what you want to be. I hope she gets her flowers soon because she’s running the RnB game ❤

such a queen❤I'm really happy she had this success...well deserved

seeing sza in a black buss down middle part is something I never thought i see

She’s such a great soul

she looks so good in a bussdown 😅 this is my favorite interview she’s done in a while.

That’s so interesting hearing how the Consideration collab came to be. That was the first time I’d heard her so in hindsight it was a perfect gateway to her music, but I can totally see how it would feel devastating for her at the time

Been a fan since her Z album (personal fave), her growth and success is admirable

This just reminded me of how amazing Sza’s catalog is. Now i have to go back and listen to everything again

You can tell she’s lowkey like 😬 to some of the lyrics because they leave her ‘naked’ & exposed. I appreciate the bold things she has shared with us over the years❤

Her music, her personality, Sza herself is just beautifully perfect🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽.

her speaking voice seems so different from her singing voice wow

I love her authenticity it’s so special and rare to see these days. She’s here to stay. Best friend in my head🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹

My #1 artist. I love her energy and her music. So happy I got to see her live ❤

The way we almost got a consideration video and a whole song 😭😭😭 I love Rih but I really like sza’s version

The fans needed this! Thank you!

You know your lyrics when YOU write them! 😅 love her 🫶🏾

She is so therapeutic to watch. I love her ❤️

Girl you've unveiled some things that are really amazing, love to see u happier and in this state of mind, so thrilled to listen nonstop to LANA cuz I know I'm gonna adore it.

i always come back to ctrl hits every time!!! the story telling, the emotion, and the unique sound. thank u sza

I love how gracious she is, and the stuff she feels she cant put out, i hope she does, sometimes it just takes one person to make a difference 😊

SZA is just a wonderful, creative and such beautiful soul. This is why I love her and her music so much and have for years.

ONE OF THE BEST ARTISTS!!!!!

That's so sweet of Variety to put in her in a backdrop with mountains and greenery so that way she feels more in her element ❤

I knew she was lying about stopping her music career! Cannot wait for whatever music she comes up with!

I love SZA, I've not found an artist who has the ability to move me so much with their words since I first heard the words of Amy Winehouse.

Bring on the new music SZA! 🙌🏽 SOS constantly gets played everyday! Super proud of her and the accomplishments she has achieved! 👏🏽🩵

i'm sad that all of her EPs and mixtapes are not available on streaming.

SZA literally got the calmest voice in the world

I love how fearless u present yourself....good, bad, flaws & all, in your music....so real....many ppl can't handle that level of truth in their music...but i' am so thankful for your voice....🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽♏🤗

The way she reads the lyrics 😭😍😍😍

OH THE DELUXE IS COMINGGGG

Cant live without her music ❤

i love her. such a pure soul

She so real for the statement of not wanting to be vulnerable but it sucks because to those who’d appreciate it have to miss out and not only that, vulnerability is such a strong and impactful thing, we’re really missing out.

IM EXCITED FOR THE NEXT ALBUMMMM

the thing that i love most about her and her music is that she's just so genuine and it's kinda sad that now that it has more reach, it's starting to make her feel she should share less of her vulnerability

I'm so ready for this new musiccc

Lovely human ❤ Always enjoy and grateful for her work and honesty. I love that they included Ice Moon in this!

when she said, sharing less with people cause their aren't mature for such like damn felt also her saying she has more work coming out my goodness the day I see her live for days on end yes I'ma cry ❤

I had never seen a black artist just be unapologetically indie alternative until I started listening to sza. Big inspiration to see you doing what they say we can’t ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🫶🏽( yes I’m black too)

It’s 2023 and I’m just now realizing I’ve never heard this woman speak a day in my life

This vocal fry is killing me. Stoooop😭😭😂😂😂😂
