S.O.S. - SZA: Episode 141

...---... You know what that means: Time to talk about SZA's expansive, Grammy-winning sophomore album SOS! In an ambitious, intentional attempt to blend all her influences and styles into one melting pot, this 23-track record incorporates rock, pop, R&B, hip-hop, and more into hits like Kill Bill, Shirt, Low, and Snooze (and Conceited)!! James & Connor talk about SZA's Olympic dreams, her doomsday bunny, and more. The Mixtaper stumbles upon the most truth-filled lie he's ever made up. Between the content and the various strong Spin Cycle tie-ins, how will we compare SOS to the Album Of The Year it lost out to in Midnights? Did SZA deserve the Grammy instead? All this and more will be answered in this episode!

And if you can't get enough SZA or Spin It in your life, head over to our website and check out the B-Side Extended Episode! We'll share our thoughts on every single one of these 23 tracks, get a little deeper into streaming royalties and Album-Equivalent Units, and face off against the Mixtaper with two bonus facts about shelved ships and the wrath of Athena.
