About this deal

SOS isn’t likely to disrupt any pre-planned ‘Best of 2022’ lists, but within its 23 tracks, there’s bound to be tracks that resonate with listeners. This isn’t the only song that shows her weariness towards relationships that no longer serve her; see also “Smoking on My Ex Pack” and “Far”. But there’s always an oblique path to transcendence in a SZA song—meaningful digressions and spicy asides.

SOSis the second studio album from Grammy award winning singer SZA, and the follow up to 2017’s major label debut album Ctrl. Writing for Rolling Stone, Will Dukes also commented on the album's runtime; " SOS is very long – 23 tracks, well over an hour.SOS’, out Friday (December 9), arrives more than five years after SZA released her debut album ‘Ctrl’ in 2017. In an interview with Hot 97, SZA confirmed the theory and explained that for this album cover she wanted to encapture the feeling of loneliness that Diana’s photo has.

Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene. Elsewhere, SOS entered within the top 5 of 10 countries: it debuted atop charts in Canada, Netherlands, and New Zealand; at number 2 in Australia (in which it peaked at number one in its seventh week), the UK, and Ireland; at number 3 in Norway and Denmark; and number 4 in Sweden and Switzerland. Kill Bill" became SZA's first song to top the Billboard Hot 100, while all singles except for "Shirt" peaked within the top 10.

On the soulful and gritty album opener “SOS”, SZA reintroduces herself and says precisely what’s on her mind after a night of crying over a lost relationship: “I talk bullshit a lot/No more fuck shit, I’m done,” she swaggers. The release date continued to be delayed, and SZA once more argued that Top Dawg and RCA were responsible for it; [37] the album would, contractually, be her last to be released through the labels. By the time SOS was released, many publications had already released their respective year-end best-of album lists. She seems more interested in expressing that it’s a truly daunting task to create on a professional level while being buffeted by tragedy than in dishing about the writing, which must’ve been hard-won.

Every single from SOS, bar "Shirt", reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100—"Good Days", "I Hate U", "Nobody Gets Me", the chart-topping "Kill Bill", and "Snooze". Petridis found that the songs "shine harder individually than taken in toto, where the sheer profusion causes them to merge into one, blended by a mood of stoned melancholy", with a final product of a "unwieldy" album, where SZA sounds as "a fabulous vocalist, powerful but unshowy, capable of shifting seamlessly into melodic rap". The roster ranged from Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, and Olivia Rodrigo; to Doja Cat, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar.In an interview with Billboard released on November 16, 2022, SZA confirmed the theories about the album title and release date in December 2022.

Well I guess, like, of course it’s like “Save Our Souls” and then like “Save Our Ship,” but it’s also, you know, SZA stands in the Supreme Alphabet – the S is like self-savior.Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Andy Kellman compared it favourably to SZA's previous album; "Hour-plus length and stylistic variety likewise signal that SOS could be the overreaching kind of highly anticipated follow-up. Good Days" contains an interpolation of "In Too Deep", performed by Jacob Collier featuring Kiana Ledé and written by Collier.
