SZA's magnum opus. ABSOLUTE R&B perfection that is culturally defining and a stunning debut album. This album consists of songs that range from emotional, slow, vibey songs to songs that make you feel like you can overcome the fact that you are the other woman, trying to seek love from someone who just won't give you the time. This album is not only her best album lyrically, but it also has some of her best vocal performances of her entire career in songs like Drew Barrymore and Normal Girl. Supermodel is the best album opener of her career which is eventually led to the opening track of 20 Something which is a relatable and personal song that addresses the struggles and pressures that come from being a young adult in your 20s. SZA has managed to make a huge impact in her debut album which will cement her career and this album as a piece of art that will be known years down the road. A masterpiece.

Favorite Tracks: Supermodel, Normal Girl, Drew Barrymore, Prom, 20 Something, Broken Clocks, Garden (Say It Like Dat).

Least Favorite Track: Go Gina
