SZA took to social media to announce the long-awaited release of her album “Lana,” a deluxe edition of her Grammy-winning second full-length album “SOS,” set to drop on Friday. The post included a video of actor Ben Stiller passionately singing along to what is believed to be the new single, “Drive,” while driving on a rainy night.
Anticipated Album Release
Despite touring behind “SOS” for the past two years, SZA’s upcoming stadium tour with Kendrick Lamar presents an ideal opportunity to unveil new material. Fans, however, may approach this news with skepticism due to previous false alarms. This time, though, it seems that “Lana” is finally on its way.
Teasers and Trailers
The hype for “Lana” began with a teaser video released a week ago, coinciding with the two-year anniversary of “SOS.” The video featured SZA in a natural setting, with a snippet of one of the album’s tracks playing in the background. The video ends with SZA looking directly at the camera while lyrics from the song are displayed on the screen.
Album Details Revealed
In an interview with Variety last year, SZA shed light on the concept behind “Lana,” describing it as a collection of outtakes from “SOS” along with new additions. She explained that the album’s title, “Lana,” was inspired by her first tattoo, which she got at the age of 13. According to SZA, “Lana” is essentially the B-side of “SOS.”
Concert Revelations
At a free concert held at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, SZA performed three songs from “Lana” and revealed that the deluxe edition would consist of seven to ten tracks, slated for release in the fall. Despite leaks of some songs, SZA expressed frustration and hinted at starting “Lana” from scratch. However, subsequent tweets indicated a change in plans.
Final Countdown
With the album’s release date approaching, fans are left wondering if “Lana” will finally make its debut. The ever-evolving journey of “Lana” has kept fans on their toes, eagerly awaiting its arrival. Only time will tell if the long-awaited album will see the light of day this Friday.
