SZA: Last News

Kendrick Lamar and SZA have announced their joint 2025 ‘Grand National’ North American stadium tour, set to kick off next spring.The 19-date tour will commence at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on April 19 2025.

Kendrick Lamar has surprise released a brand new album ‘GNX’ – listen in full below.The Compton rapper posted a link to the album on his social media pages at 5pm UK time on Friday (November 22), with the 12-track, 44-minute release now on all major music streaming platforms.It is Lamar’s sixth studio album and first since 2022’s ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’, and features production from Jack Antonoff, Kamasi Washington, Mustard, Terrace Martin and Sounwave.

SZA has reflected on her time headlining Glastonbury 2024, and said that she felt like she was “falling” during the divisive set.The US singer-songwriter took to the stage on the Sunday of Glastonbury earlier this summer, following on from headline sets from both Dua Lipa and Coldplay. During her set, however, she was marred by numerous technical and audio difficulties and received mixed reviews from critics.For the first 30 minutes of the performance, SZA’s mic was muffled and muddy, rendering the singer nearly inaudible.

SZA has teased that her upcoming album ‘Lana’ might arrive later this autumn.The ‘Kill Bill’ singer had previously shared plans to release a deluxe edition to her 2022 record ‘SOS’ as well as a new album titled ‘Lana’, and posted potential cover art on social media for the two projects as recently as December 2023.Although in the year since neither project has materialised, SZA has now told British Vogue that could change in the coming months. Fans can reportedly expect both the deluxe edition and her third album in autumn, with new track ‘PSA’ – which she premiered at her Hyde Park performance – supposedly appearing on ‘Lana’.A post shared by SZA (@sza)It comes after SZA recently confirmed that she’s taking a break from performing live “for a while”, which she addressed in the interview. “Every day I grapple with, ‘Am I done with music?’” she said.

SZA is seemingly teasing that a new Kendrick Lamar album will be released soon.Kendrick Lamar’s last album came in the form of 2022’s ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’. Since then, the rapper has released a handful of singles, though all of them have been directed to Drake as part of their feud earlier this year.Now, however, SZA – who is close friends with Lamar, and has collaborated with him several times in the past – has seemingly shared a post on social media that suggests Kendrick is readying a new album.Last week, Devin Malik, an affiliate of Top Dawg Entertainment and collaborator of Kendrick’s shared on social media: “Mood cause new k dot album otwwww”.

SZA has revealed that she is currently “going through a breakup” and claimed that her ex-fiancé “hates” her.While appearing as a guest on the latest episode of First We Feast’s Hot Ones with host Sean Evans, the ‘Kill Bill’ singer appeared dressed as an insect – complete with a pair of prosthetic antennae and massive bug eyes – and opened up about the current state of her personal life.Speaking about her choice of appearance, SZA said: “I’m just tired of being not a bug.” Elsewhere in the interview, the singer revealed which song makes her most emotional to perform. “‘Nobody Gets Me’ because my ex-fiancé hates me so much, and it’s so unfortunate.

SZA has confirmed that she’s taking a break from performing live “for a while” – see what the singer-songwriter had to say below.Late last night (August 5), the ‘Kill Bill’ singer took to X (formerly Twitter) to make the announcement.

Once the issue was fixed however, SZA sounded great and went on to deliver an enchanting performance.SZA kicked off her set with ‘PSA’ and ‘Love Galore’, and played other hits like ‘F2F’ and ‘Kill Bill’ later on in the show.SZA performando ‘Love Galore’ no Glastonbury, em Londres pic.twitter.com/D0jrU4lA0R— SZA ICONIC (@szaiconic) June 30, 2024.@SZA performing ‘Snooze’ at Glastonbury! pic.twitter.com/P5MsEVAup2— SZA Source (@sourcesza) June 30, 2024.@SZA performing ‘Low’ at Glastonbury! pic.twitter.com/Lu4GFa2lJZ— SZA Source (@sourcesza) June 30, 2024‘PSA’‘Love Galore’‘Broken Clocks’‘All The Stars’‘Prom’‘Garden (Say It Like Dat)’‘Drew Barrymore’‘F2F’‘Forgiveless’‘Ghost in the Machine’‘Blind’‘Shirt’‘Kiss Me More’ (Doja Cat cover)‘I Hate U’‘Snooze’‘Kill Bill’‘Low’‘Special’‘Open Arms’‘Nobody Gets Me’‘Normal Girl’‘Saturn’‘Rich Baby Daddy’ (Drake cover)‘The Weekend’‘Good Days’’20 Something’For Sunday’s performances, Avril Lavigne treated the Other Stage to an unashamed nostalgia fest, earning the Canadian pop-punk princess a three-star rating.
