American singer SZA’s new album features Phoebe Bridgers, Travis Scott, and a posthumous appearance from Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
The long-awaited follow-up to the star’s 2017 debut LP ‘Ctrl’ is finally set for release on Friday (09.12.22), and the mammoth track-listing for ‘SOS’ has just been shared by the ‘Good Days’ singer.
Phoebe is featured on the track ‘Ghost in the Machine’ and Travis – who previously appeared on ‘Love Galore’ with SZA – is on the song ‘Open Arms’.
The late Wu-Tang Clan member – whose real name was Russell Tyrone Jones – is featured on the closing track ‘Forgiveness’. Don Toliver also features on ‘Used’.
SZA aged 33 recently explained that the reason for the long gap between her first and second record is nothing to do with “album pressure”, but finding it hard to fit in time for the LP while dealing with life.
SZA’s grandmother’s battle with Alzheimer’s and the COVID-19 pandemic made it even harder.
Speaking to Billboard magazine, the star – whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe – said: “It’s not like the album pressure, it’s just, life is f hard.”
