SZA has said more new music is on the way, only hours after dropping her new deluxe album ‘Lana’.
The singer’s long-awaited ‘Lana’ arrived yesterday (December 20) after almost a year of teasing. It followed her announcement earlier this month that, rather than a standalone record, it would be the deluxe version of her 2022 LP ‘SOS’.
Though fans initially expected to wake up to the record on Friday morning, it didn’t drop until the afternoon, after SZA shared: “Just needed a few more hours for new mixes to ingest evenly across all platforms.. (mixes are important) love you camp.”
The album was eventually shared at 8pm GMT, and it included a Kendrick Lamar feature on ‘30 For 30’. Elsewhere, there’s production from Lil Yachty and Benny Blanco on one song each. The other collaborators on the album are mostly those she worked with on ‘SOS’, including Michael Uzowuru, ThankGod4Cody, Rob Bisel and Carter Lang. You can check out the full tracklist here.
Now, not even 24 hours after ‘Lana”s release, it seems the singer is gearing up to share even more new music.

Taking to Twitter/X last night, the ‘Kill Bill’ singer wrote: “And before yall even start .. punch gave the go ahead to purge and drop all songs .. more things are on the way 🙂↕️” She’s referring to her manager Terrence “Punch” Henderson.
Then, she shared a screenshot of a conversation with Henderson, where she’s requesting to release three additional tracks called ‘Take You Down’, ‘PSA’ and ‘Open Arms’, saying “they’re all mastered already”.
Henderson then responds by telling SZA to “let this breathe for a week at least”, adding: “Give it to them for new years or Christmas”.
And before yall even start .. punch gave the go ahead to purge and drop all songs .. more things are on the way 🙂↕️

Yesterday, she also shared a music video for her new single ‘Drive’, which she confirmed would be on the record. The video stars actor Ben Stiller, while SZA herself also makes an appearance in a bug-like form, reminiscent of the album cover. ‘Saturn’, which she released back in February, is also on the album.
Lamar’s feature comes after SZA appeared his surprise album ‘GNX’ last month, and the pair announcing a joint North American tour for next year.
When ‘SOS‘ was released two years ago, it received acclaim from critics, as well as nine Grammy nominations. It hit Number One on the Billboard 200 and Number Two on the UK Single Chart, also being certified 3x Platinum in the US.
In a five-star review of ‘SOS’, NME described it as “a comeback album well worth the wait,” adding: “I’m making the best album of my life for this next album,” SZA told Flaunt in 2020 and ‘SOS’ is just that – a phenomenal record that barely puts a foot wrong and raises the bar even higher than she set it before. That quote, though, came with a caveat: “Because it’s going to be my last album.” Here’s hoping SZA reneges on that declaration but, if this is the last we hear from here, at least she’s going out on the highest of highs.”
