SZA Releases Long-Awaited 'Lana' as a Deluxe Edition of 'SOS'

The 15-track project, initially conceived as a standalone album, blends outtakes and new material, showcasing SZA's emotional depth and musical evolution.

Originally planned as a separate album, 'Lana' serves as the deluxe edition of SZA's 2022 hit album 'SOS' and includes 15 tracks spanning 46 minutes.
The release process was delayed due to SZA's perfectionism, creative changes, and frustration over leaked tracks, which reshaped the project's direction multiple times.
'Lana' features a mix of SOS outtakes and new songs, with contributions from producers like ThankGod4Cody, Michael Uzowuru, Carter Lang, and Benny Blanco.
Highlights include collaborations with Kendrick Lamar on '30 for 30' and Lil Yachty on 'Chill Baby,' as well as deeply personal tracks like 'What Do I Do' and 'Drive.'
The album explores themes of vulnerability, self-discovery, and emotional resilience, continuing SZA's reputation for raw, introspective songwriting.
