Ctrl (CD) [Explicit]
SZA
Amoeba Review
One of the most promising artists in the alternative R&B scene returns with Ctrl, a star-studded affair with guest appearances from Kendrick Lamar, James Fauntleroy, Travis Scott, and Isaiah Rashad. Despite the big names, SZA’s the star of her own show, serving up sultry melodies, impassioned lyrics, and confident, gorgeous vocals. The tracks are moody and mesmerizing, with lush, melancholy arrangements, dreamy production, and of course, SZA’s candy-sweet voice. The ideal soundtrack to late summer nights.
