#SHOUTOUT SZA - Ms. 20 Something
Congratulations to SZA, the self-proclaimed Ms. 20-something on releasing her poetically contentious studio album Ctrl! Even after her own public outcry, I'm sure we can all agree that it didn't come when we wanted but Ctrl it's right on time!!!!! This summer's truth anthem for dating in your twenties, the 26 year-old embodies every element of her album title by melodically directing you through these taboo but common situationships most find themselves in. Complicated love triangles, where everybody is for everybody and who's really claiming the next if it's not befitting the current circumstance or desires.
"Why you bother me
when you know
you don't want me"
-SZA x Love Galore
One more time for the manipulators in the back of the class! Literally taking the words right out of my mouth concerning one of my current situations (eyeroll), SZA had me Love Galore ft. Travis Scott and the vibes kept coming from there. Prom and Go Gina confirmed that I need a live performance of this entire album as I felt her singing from every single part of her being that helped connect her to the appropriate emotions, I got it and I lived! This album called out every conflicting feeling you face when compromising for the sake of some consistent intimacy. She even ended the album with an ode to all of us with 20 Something and for that SZA will forever remain a shining example of how to be excellent in your twenties!
How I'd like to feel listening to
Love Galore
VS. How I actually feel listening to
Love Galore
LMAO @thatgirljaycole is hilarious! Also from Washington, DC please follow her for lots of laughs on IG
Congratulations again to SZA on a beautiful project, thank you for wrapping and putting a bow on how crazy it is to keep Ctrl of living and loving in your twenties. I salute you!
