Sza - Doves In The Wind Ft. Kendrick

Ctrl’s journey from studio to streaming services wasn’t exactly smooth—at one point, SZA threatened to quit music altogether—but in the end, our patience was rewarded handsomely.


Wrestling with insecurities, infidelity, and isolation, SZA paints a painfully honest (just ask her Vegas-partying ex) portrait of a young 20-something yearning to find love in a world where good love is frustratingly hard to come by—or, indeed, control.

While the mental and emotional stress on songs like “Drew Barrymore” might leave you wondering why humans crave companionship as much as we do, hearing SZA’s incredible voice over such fantastic production, which ranges from dreamy electropop (“Prom”) to Dilla-sampling boom bap (“Doves In the Wind”), makes the pursuit of happiness worth the pain.
