SZA‘s Ctrl album has held listeners in a chokehold since its initial 2017 release, and fans have eagerly been waiting for more.
While singles like “Good Days,” “I Hate U,” and “Shirt”—along with noteworthy features like “No Love” and “All The Stars”—have helped keep her fanbase satisfied, SZA has long been called on to unveil another album.
Now, fans are getting what they’ve been asking for, as news broke that SZA’s new project is coming in December.
This exciting revelation came through Billboard, as the publication met with SZA to get some details about the project, which is titled S.O.S.
SZA also just dropped “Shirt” less than 3 weeks ago, though it’s already proven itself to be a major force in her musical catalogue.
In response to the news that S.O.S. is soon coming our way, Twitter has been full of people expressing their unbridled excitement.
One user humorously went as far as to declare that, with SZA announcing a new project, “2022 finally makes sense.”
However, with SZA’s infamous reputation for stretching the truth, others expressed doubts about whether we will actually get a new album in 2022.
Additionally, it was expressed that—if a SZA album is soon dropping—then it’s expected for other stars with long-awaited projects (i.e. Rihanna, Frank Ocean, and Cardi B) to follow suit.
At this point, we should add that SZA spoke on her upcoming album back in October after TMZ caught up with her at LAX.
Upon being asked about how many total songs she’s recorded while working on the project, SZA revealed that she’s definitely been busy for the past 5 years.
“Total? A hundred, maybe? Like, I don’t even know, actually,” she revealed. “Five years worth of material.”
Shoutout to all the SZA stans who patiently awaited this new project.
