I hate to start off this review bragging, but I have a confession. I’m convinced, I have to be the second coming of Quincy Jones or Sean Combs. Why am I tooting my own horn? Well, right before SZA debuted CTRL I was listening to, and doing my research on her. I instantly loved her approach to music. After finding out it was a talent she sorta discovered accidentally it made sense. I was happy to see a Young Black Woman with an alternative edge making her way. Born in St. Louis, but raised in New Jersey, SZA has a unique approach to music and an almost unorthodox transparency about writing. After releasing two mixtapes , she signed to Top Dawg Entertainment alongside a number of incredible artists including Kendrick Lamar. CTRL was released this past June, and the verdict is in, she has truly reached a demographic of young women, and that’s amazing for a new artist.
