Here's Everything We Know About SZA's New Album
info@hypebae.com (Hypebae) Tue, 17 Dec 2024 HypebaeIt's official, SZA is coming through on her promise of Lana, the album.
SZA's fans are known for accusing their fav of lying -- we know, weird. So when 2024 almost wrapped without her promise of Lana, an album she teased in June, they were not letting the moment slide. "Watch her never drop it," one user tweeted. Another said, "We don’t believe her mind you..."
Thankfully, the "Kill Bill" singer has confirmed the release date: December 20, 2024. The news was confirmed by her latest Instagram reel that teased the album's first single, "Drive." That's not the shocker, though. The clip features none other than actor Ben Stiller, who's singing along to the lyrics. Hilariously, SZA shared that Severance Season 2 is on the way, too. "Fans immediately begged for lyrics while others encouraged them to read Stiller's lips.
The news launches as fans await her highly discussed 'Grand National' tour with Kendrick Lamar.

The album is set to launch exactly two years after the release of S.O.S., which dominated the charts and became the first "R&B album by a woman to hit double digits since Mariah Carey’s self-titled debut in 1991." It'll feature 10 tracks and won't replicate the essence of her fans' favorite album, Ctrl.
At the time she said, "I know people wanted [Ctrl’s] "Broken Clocks," "Love Galore" and all that other sh-t again, but I departed from that by choice... Not because I couldn’t do that again; it was just because I wanted to grow. I wanted to do something completely different."
Stay tuned for updates.
