This album was released in the summer of 2017. I personally love this album with all my heart. I had never heard of SZA before this album, but now I am a huge fan. She is so talented and in this album I am sure she got through to a lot of young women going through similar struggles as she did. Not only is this album filled with musical elements from tones to the aesthetic of the sounds, but it has personal connections that people can relate to, and in my opinion that is what makes it so great.  ]]> 2017-11-19 19:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208519105 andreaav14 https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208522144 This song also shows how she tries to be the best for him, but he doesn't appreciate all that she has to offer. The musicality of this song (soft violins and drum set) clashes so well with her tone of voice, which is so deep and pure.There is a part of the song where there are soft plucks of a harp and she darkens her voice and gets angry. You can definitely feel the emotional damage she was going through. ]]> 2017-11-19 20:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208522144 andreaav14 https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208522196 This song titled The Weekend is about a woman in a relationship, in which her boyfriend has been cheating on her with multiple women. She is aware of it all but does not do anything about it. It really shows how dependent she is of her boyfriend and how insecure the woman feels about herself. ]]> 2017-11-19 20:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208522196 andreaav14 https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208522256 SZA starts this song off with the lyrics, "Need you for the old me, need you for my sanity, need you to remind me where I come from." Her voice as well as the lyrics in the beginning are come off very strong, but later she backs off and she sounds vulnerable and soft.She says, "You'll never love me but I believe you when you say it like that. Oh, do you mean it when you say it like that?Oh, I believe you when you say it like that. You must really love me." It seems like she is confronting her cheating boyfriend and she is trying to convince him and herself that he's in love with her.]]> 2017-11-19 20:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208522256 andreaav14 https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208523272 2017-11-19 20:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208523272 andreaav14 https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208523316 2017-11-19 20:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208523316 andreaav14 https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208523535 2017-11-19 20:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208523535 andreaav14 https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208527037 2017-11-19 20:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/andreaav14/kten3bbel4u2/wish/208527037
