Despite the success of ‘SOS’ and the deluxe ‘Lana’ edition, she hinted at retiring from music
Although SZA’s SOS and the deluxe Lana edition have had massive success on the charts, she is thinking of hanging up the mic as part of her plans, she exposed the posting on X (formerly, Twitter) on Sunday (January 4).
“Before I go be a farmer n give the produce away to communities in need, I am positive that I will want to make more soothing kids’ music after completing the last two album requirements,” she wrote.
This shook the fans because SOS had recently shot to the top of the week-long Billboard 200 era, a demonstration of her art’s gravity. The quite open statement from on high lends credence to the word that suggests even phenomenal success has not altered her wish for a quieter, purposed life.
Some fans were saddened by the fact that she would no longer be performing, while others lauded her vision of making children’s music and giving back to the community through farming.
The pivot might say something deeper in that it still talks about being fulfilled outside the label of the music industry, and as SZA continues to carve out an enduring legacy, so might this pivot. Whether she follows through with this or not, her contribution to music is undeniable.
The hype is now on, and fans cannot wait to hear what the two albums are all about before she exits the scene.
