Description: Throughout the journey of S.O.S, there are moments of clarity and tenderness where SZA goes through the discomfort of healing while trying to find the deeper meaning within the trials and tribulations she endures.

Critics’ Chatter
“SZA’s long, ambitious, luxurious new album solidifies her position as a generational talent, an artist who translates her innermost feelings into indelible moments.”
-Julianne Escobedo Shepherd, Pitchfork | Read Full Review Here
“‘SOS’, the star’s long-awaited second album, finds her picking up the baton from the hoodie-wearing, relaxed figure on the cover of her acclaimed debut and continuing on in her role as an artist who shares their thoughts, feelings and experiences with the candour of a friend. The subjects on the new record could easily tackle fame and the pressure of the spotlight, but SZA keeps things relatable, dealing with everything from issues with partners, feeling enraged when you see an ex with someone new, and struggling with self-esteem issues.”
-Rhian Daly, NME | Read Full Review Here
“The US star’s follow-up to her groundbreaking debut ranges wildly, from pop-punk to traces of Radiohead and a Phoebe Bridgers feature. You’d give it a trim were the quality not so unerringly high.”
