SZA, renowned for her meticulous approach to music, delighted fans with the unexpected release of “Saturn,” a track unveiled in a Mastercard commercial during the Grammy Awards. This release breaks her usual silence between projects, following the monumental success of “SOS,” her album that shattered records and clinched three Grammys.
With “Saturn,” SZA continues to tease the arrival of “Lana,” a project shrouded in mystery. Initially hinted at as either an extension of “SOS” or a standalone album, “Lana” promises a mix of outtakes and fresh material. Despite performing unreleased tracks and teasing potential album covers, the project remains on the horizon, with “Saturn” perhaps signaling its nearing release.
“Saturn” itself is a quintessential SZA offering, blending despair with her signature dreamy production and soulful vocals. Released as a comprehensive bundle, it showcases SZA’s versatility and depth, echoing the richness of her past hits. This surprise single not only adds to her diverse discography but also stirs anticipation for “Lana,” reminding fans of SZA’s unparalleled ability to navigate the complexities of emotion through her music. Whether “Saturn” is the harbinger of “Lana” or merely a standalone gem, it reaffirms SZA’s status as a consistent force in the music industry, always worth the wait.
