Two years ago, after a five-year hiatus, SZA dropped her sophomore album SOS. Wildly successful, it broke numerous records, including becoming the largest streaming week for any R&B album in US music history. It also gained her numerous awards including a Grammy Award for Best Progressive R&B Album and a nomination for Album of the Year.

Today, Friday December 20, SZA is set to finally drop her long-awaited follow-up, LANA: SOS Deluxe. With 15 new tracks, it is pretty much a brand new album. Rumoured for a while but only confirmed last week, the record was confirmed with a teaser video of Ben Stiller in a car singing along to one of the new drops.

In honour of her latest drop, we’ve dived into her discography to rank ten of her best tracks. Before we get into this, let it be known that SZA’s discography is one of the best of our generation. Zero skips. This list could be updated every week with ten different songs and still stand. But for now...

A true film fan, SZA has referenced films and film stars throughout her career. The third track on her EP Z is inspired by Julia Roberts and her character in Pretty Women. Layered with 80s-inspired synth-pop sounds, its softly pulsating beats and wistful lyrics capture the ache of unreciprocated love.
