Bedroom RnB at its best | SZA - CTRL

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe, listen to Bell's next pick SZA's CTRL. Her debut studio album, it was released to widespread critical acclaim, with multiple reviewers citing its writing and SZA's singing as high points. In 2020, Rolling Stone pegged it as the number 472 of the 500 Greatest Albums of all Time. At the 2018 Grammy Awards, SZA received a nomination for Best New Artist and the album itself received four nominations. Like Begonia's Fear, which we have covered previously, the album is an introspective look at the artist herself. The album also covers the topics of relationships, growing up and the concept of being 'normal'. But what will the boys think? Will the reception be as warm? Come along and find out!
