    Jan 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Singer SZA insists she’s not “mad” at losing out on a total of nine Grammy Awards in the last two years.
    In an interview with Cosmopolitan, the “Hit Different” hitmaker, real name Solana Imani Rowe, confessed she has no negative feelings after being nominated nine times at the 2018 and 2019 Grammys, and going home empty-handed.
    “I’m just a girl from the ‘burbs. I never had dreams of being nominated for a Grammy,” she tells Cosmopolitan for its February issue. “I thought I was going to be a gymnast and a f**king business accountant somewhere. Or working at Nike corporate or some s**t in Portland. Who knows, but something that involved a power suit. So it’s not a heavy burden.”

    The 30-year-old singer, who was nominated for best new artist in 2018, and for several songs on her critically acclaimed debut album “Ctrl” – lost the former prize to Alessia Cara – causing uproar among her fans and widespread criticism of the Grammys.
    “Once you’ve been nominated and lost, you’re very much free because you’re not concerned,” she continues. “I passed that threshold years ago – it’s an old energy to me. Why would I be mad?”
    SZA, who released track “Good Days” in December (20), also opened up what fans can expect from her new album.
    “This album is going to be the s**t that made me feel something in my…here and in here,” she told the outlet, signalling to her stomach and heart. “That’s what’s going to go on the album. I’m making all different types of s**t every day from different places in my spirit.”

      AceShowbiz – SZA is finally back! The R&B singer is making her return to the music industry by releasing a single entitled “Hit Different” featuring Ty Dolla $ign. The release of the tune is accompanied with a music video that SZA directed herself, marking her directorial debut.
      In the visuals, which features shots in a scrapyard and a barn, SZA is seen showcasing her dance moves along with several female dancers as she sings about a relationship that hits differently. “Somethin’ wrong with me, I like the way you screw your face up/ Trigger me right when I need it,” she rhymes. “You wrong but I can’t get along without you/ It’s a shame and I can’t blame myself, keep on lovin’ you.”
      “Hit Different” marks SZA’s first song since her collaboration with Justin Timberlake on “The Other Side” that served as the soundtrack to “Trolls World Tour”. She worked on the new song with The Neptunes and recorded it in DJ Khaled’s house earlier this year while he was at the Super Bowl.
      She said of the song in an interview with Apple, “I was swimming in my brain about what I wanted to say first, what I wanted to bring energy wise first and I just really–I just stopped trying to like overthink and I just wanted to give people something just to vibe because I have so much stuff that I’m just done holding onto.”
      Recently, SZA voiced her frustration about her new music being delayed. She seemed to imply that Top Dawg Entertainment and TDE head Terrence “Punch” Henderson were the cause of it, but when fans started trending the hashtag, “Free SZA” on Twitter, she backtracked her comment.
      She said at the time, “Don’t nobody need to free me. Lmao I’m not held hostage n neither is my music!! Me n Punch be disagreeing…he’s never steered me wrong and I trust God’s timing. I love y’all.”

      SZA Says She Never Declares Herself as 'Queen of RnB' After Being Clowned

      Speaking for a new interview, the TDE artist gives an update on how her music is perceived, adding that she doesn’t want to be boxed into one genre and that some people call her the ‘Queen of RnB.’
      Jul 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – SZA sparked debate after revealing in a new interview that she didn’t want to be referred as the “Queen of R&B.” As soon as the interview was published, fans were confused as to why the singer thought she had the title.
      Speaking to Wonderland Magazine, the TDE artist gave an update on how her music is perceived. The singer added that she didn’t want to be boxed into one genre, saying some people called her the “Queen of R&B” though she wasn’t necessarily happy with the title.
      “I spent too much time growing up on just as much Imogen Heap, and listening to Comfort Eagle by Cake and vibing for people to call me a ‘queen of R&B,’ ” said the “All the Stars” singer. “Why can’t I just be a queen, period?”
      “Nobody does that to white people at all, ever. No one ever does that to Adele or Justin Bieber when they’re wholeheartedly singing R&B,” she went on saying.

      In response to the comments, fans took to social media to question it. “Who called her that,” one fan asked. “SZA the queen of what, now?” another questioned.
      “I love me some Sza but I wanna know who these people are that are calling her the queen of r&b,” one Twitter user added. “SZA: people need to stop calling me the queen of R&B! Everyone on twitter:,” a person tweeted alongside a meme of someone asking “Who said that?”
      Echoing the sentiment, one other said, “I love SZA but I’ve literally never heard anyone say she’s the queen of r&b.” Thinking that Summer Walker is better than SZA, a fan wrote, “Summer walker album eats her album, I’m confused.”

      SZA appeared to laugh off the clownery.
      SZA then took to her Twitter account to seemingly respond to the clownery. “Lol,” she simply wrote. The singer also explained her insight into the statement in a comment section of The Shade Room’s Instagram post, writing, “uhhh I was talking about a public Rolling Stone cover click bait title? Never self proclaimed . Lol Jus didn’t like the title…. For this exact reason. God bless tho.”
