SZA is one of the biggest artists in the world right now. With her record-breaking album release for "SOS," the R&B songstress is on the road to something big.
Her album, "SOS," is perhaps one of the most-anticipated releases in 2022 because of her six-year drought in album release.
SZA Grammy Awards 2024
"SOS" was released in December 2022 and is in huge contention of being a huge contender for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Currently, "SOS" notched its ninth nonconsecutive week at the top of the Billboard 200 albums charts - equalling and surpassing the likes of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Janet Jackson's albums as she threaded through the weekly charts.
Seeing "SOS" at the 2024 Grammy Awards is very likely, also considering the huge critical acclaim that the album has racked up over the past months.
NME and Daily Telegraph ranked it five out of five stars, as Pitchfork gave it an 8.7 out of 10 rating.
"SOS is a phenomenal record that barely puts a foot wrong and raises the bar even higher than she set it before," NME wrote.
Meanwhile, Rolling Stone pointed out its length - composed of 23 tracks.
"SOS is very long - 23 tracks, well over an hour. It suggests someone continually adding to and augmenting a project or perhaps throwing everything they've got at it, fuelled by the feeling that they might not do this again. The results are hugely eclectic," they said, in reference to the label fiasco that SZA underwent in pushing for the release of "SOS" after it was shelved several times last year.
SZA Grammy Awards Nominations
SZA has been nominated at the Grammy Awards 15 times already but has only managed to win once.
At the 60th Grammy Awards, she was nominated for Best New Artist but lost to Alessia Cara. Meanwhile, her debut album "Ctrl" was nominated for Best Urban Contemporary Album, which is now renamed to Best Progressive R&B Album. Three of its tracks were nominated in three different categories - Best R&B Song for "Supermodel," Best Rap Song Collaboration with "Love Galore ft. Travis Scott," and Best R&B Performance with "The Weekend."
She also racked up four nominations with Kendrick Lamar in the year after, with "All The Stars" being nominated for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, and Best Song Written For Visual Media.
It was in 2022 when SZA won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with Doja Cat on "Kiss Me More," which also got her nominated for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year. Her song, "Good Days," which was released in "SOS," was nominated for Best R&B Song, as she was also credited on Album of the Year for Doja Cat's "Planet Her."
This year, she was nominated for Best Rap Song Collaboration with DJ Khaled on "Beautiful."
