On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in June on the 9th June 2017. It is SZA debut album called "Ctrl".
SZA also known as Solana Imani Rowe is a talented female R&B singer from St Louis Missouri in USA. She is one of the only female artists in the record label "Top Dawg Entertainment" which include artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock and many more. She has released 3 EPs which includes "See SZA run" "S" and "Z". Three of these EPs are just too good. 3 years later she releases her debut album "Ctrl" which is an album that is just so fantastic. I love SZA as an artist she just phenomenal I admire her a lot. In my opinion she is one of the most talented female artists in our generation. She's so cute bless her she has the most cutest smile ever from a female artist. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? This album just amazed me of how talented she really is. It is definitely likely to be nominated for 2018 Grammys album of the year this is an example of an R&B masterpiece. I would be so shocked if this isn't nominated for Album of the year category it truly does deserve to be nominated for album of the year. Its one of the albums that has been getting a lot of positive reviews in these last few months. The tracks just blew me away her vocals are so beautiful the production is really good. The collaboration on the tracks are just too good the one that I really thought that the collaboration was excellent was the track "Doves In The Wind" which is featured Kendrick Lamar the greatest rapper in our generation. Both of them done really well on this track.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Doves In The Wind", "Drew Barrymore", "Prom","Broken Clocks", "Normal Girl", "Pretty Little Birds", "20 Something". Starting off with "Doves In The Wind". As I was saying this track has the best collaboration with the one and only Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick verse on this track is just so damn good. As we all know Kendrick very creative hes an inspirational I truly respect Kendrick as an artist. Their vocals do blend in well together on this fantastic track definitely my overall favourite and one of the strongest on the album. "Drew Barrymore"is a decent track with decent production to it. Her voice simply does blend in. "Prom" I love how the track starts it sounds like a snare clap in the first few seconds of the track. Still a decent track. "Broken Clocks" I love how the intro starts off with an interesting voice and then SZA comes on with her beautiful vocals I love how the track ends. "Normal Girl" the piano synth starts on the intro of this track another decent track this is probably my second favourite on the album. "Pretty Little Birds" has decent lyrics and decent production I love how jazz is included on the production of this track. "20 Something"I love how the guitar is included on this track such a calmful peaceful track to listen to her vocals are just wow pure amazing. My least favourite track was a track called "Anything" its a decent track just not a big fan of the production but its still a decent track.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this album it's a fantastic debut album from a talented artist I am definitely looking forward to her future projects. I would definitely listen to this album again. Overall its a 9/10
