American singer, SZA surprised her fans with a brand new project titled, “SOS” Album. The new Entry contains 23 tracks.
SOS is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter SZA. It was released through Top Dawg Entertainment and RCA Records on December 9, 2022.
The album features guest appearances from Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers, Travis Scott, and the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard. SZA worked with a variety of record producers and songwriters such as Babyface, Jeff Bhasker, Rob Bisel, Benny Blanco, Darkchild, DJ Dahi, Ant Clemons, and Lizzo. It serves as the follow-up to SZA’s previous album Ctrl.
Six singles were released between 2020 and 2023 to promote SOS, five of which were top-ten hits on the US Billboard Hot 100. The fifth, “Kill Bill”, was SZA’s first song to top the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Global 200 charts; the sixth, “Snooze”, was the only song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 for all of 2023.
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200—SZA’s first to do so—and broke the record for the largest streaming week for an R&B album in the US.
The album spent ten non-consecutive weeks atop the chart, making it the longest-running number-one female album of the decade and the first R&B album to spend its first seven weeks atop the chart since Whitney Houston’s Whitney.
