The 'I Hate U' singer wants to take a long hiatus from music after she was hard at work to complete and finally release her much-awaited studio album recently.
- Dec 13, 2022
AceShowbiz - SZA has hinted at plans to take a lengthy break from music. The "I Hate U" singer made the remarks after releasing her long-awaited second album "SOS" to major acclaim last week, five years after her debut studio album "Ctrl".
SZA - whose real name is Solana Imani Rowe - plans to "disappear" for "as long as I can" now that she has delivered the record to fans. "I'm gonna disappear, definitely, for as long as I can. We kinda knocked it out. I need to shoot as many videos as I can, so I can disappear for longer," she said in an interview with Consequence.
The 33-year-old star has, however, promised a deluxe edition of "SOS", with the likes of Doja Cat, Lizzo, and The Weeknd teased to appear.
Meanwhile, SZA also bemoaned the amount of times Black artists have been labelled R&B and admitted it is "super disrespectful." She told the publication, "I'm so tired of being pegged as [an] R'n'B artist. I feel like that's super disrespectful, because people are just like, 'Oh, 'cause you're Black, this is what you have to be' - like, put in a box."
"And I hate that. With songs on this album, it's supposed to help round out the picture and the story. Something that is just full of energy. Black music doesn't have to just be R'n'B. We started rock 'n' roll. Why can't we just be expansive and not reductive?"
