Wall Street Journalさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Wall Street JournalInstagram)「SZA has become one of the most successful artists of her generation with her brash, anxious overshares.⁠ ⁠ The 34-year-old, born Solána Rowe, has been churning out intimate, thorny, genre-blending hits about self-love and self-loathing since she signed to the rap label Top Dawg Entertainment in 2013.⁠ ⁠ Her debut album, “Ctrl,” hasn’t left the Billboard 200 chart since July 2017. Her follow-up, “SOS,” dropped in December 2022; its 10 weeks on the chart made it the longest-running No. 1 album by a female artist of the decade. It also broke a record for most weeks atop the R&B chart.⁠ ⁠ The five years between “Ctrl” and “SOS” elevated @sza to superstar status. She became more famous by being less present. Her fans are ravenous, rushing to stream her music and selling out dates on her first headline arena tour.⁠ ⁠ Meanwhile, she’s obsessive about the music, and she takes every song personally. “I’ll die about that s—t every time,” she says. Everyone wants more songs, faster, now. SZA insists on taking her time.⁠ ⁠ “When I leave the studio, I feel better and empty,” she says. “There’s no better sleep than empty-brain sleep, and that can only come after I’ve been in the studio for 10 hours and done something good in there.”⁠ ⁠ Though her circuitous problems—love, heartbreak, ghosting, getting ghosted—have become signature subjects, she says she wants to write about the good stuff, too. “I go through so many other moments in life that are amazing, things that I could never describe,” she says. “I haven’t even tried to find words for those things.”⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷: @ethanjamesgreen for @wsjmag」11月3日 8時00分
