New surprises are in store from SZA. After teasing five unreleased songs on the deluxe edition of her 2017 debut album Ctrl, on Thursday (June 9), the singer-songwriter dropped seven new tracks on the album’s re-release, also celebrating it’s five-year anniversary. The new tracks include “Love Galore (Alt Version), “2AM,” “Miles,” “Percolator,” “Tread Carefully,” “Awkward” and “Jodie.”
The vocalist – whose legal name is Solána Imani Rowe – also clarified that the tracks were recorded between 5-8 years ago.
Earlier in the week, Rowe hinted at the deluxe edition of Ctrl.
Although Rowe has not yet released a follow-up to her debut album, after winning Best Pop Duo/Performance alongside Doja Cat for “Kiss Me More, she announced that her sophomore album was completed.
“I just finished it up in Hawaii,” she said. “And it’s coming soon! I think it’s my most unisex album. I think it’s for everyone.”
During MET Gala 2022, the singer also spoke with Vogue about getting closer to the release of her sophomore album. “[Now that the album] like ready to go, more than I’ve ever felt before. “So, this summer, it’ll be like a…it’ll be a SZA Summer,” she said.
Along with “Kiss Me More,” Rowe has released singles in 2020 and 2021 including “I Hate U,” “Good Days,” and “Hit Different” with Ty Dolla $ign, and has been featured on “No Love” with Summer Walker and Cardi B, the “fue mejor” remix with Kali Uchis and “The Other Side” with Justin Timberlake.
