SZA 'would love' to do joint album with Kendrick Lamar
SZA "would love" to do a joint album with Kendrick Lamar.
The 'Saturn' singer has released a slew of collaborations with the hip-hop superstar; from 2017's 'Doves in the Wind' and 2018's 'All the Stars' to December's '30 For 30' from her reissue of 'SOS' ('LANA'), and 'Luther' and 'Gloria' on his latest LP 'GNX'.
SZA – whose real name is Solána Rowe - learns a lot whenever she works with the “genius” rapper and would jump at the chance to create a full record with the ‘HUMBLE’ hitmaker.
Speaking on 'Sherri' on Wednesday (08.01.25), she said: "I would love that.
"I think that would be amazing. He's such a genius. And a part of his genius is like him being so elusive and so mysterious and I love it."
When it came to ‘GNX’, SZA had no idea what tracks her vocals would end up on, but she did approve of her takes.
She explained: "I don't know what's going on as much as you don't know what's going on.
"When ‘Luther' came out, I said, ‘OK, that's the vocals we're using, period.' Same with ‘Gloria.' I said, ‘OK.'"
SZA, 35, feels like she is “thrust into the spotlight” whenever she works with Kendrick, 37, but praised the star for remaining “grounded”.
She continued: "That's also part of the fumbling and finding.
"He's a huge part of my fumbling and finding era because I'm trusting his expertise and being thrust into these moments and spotlight and saying yes. He's so good at saying yes, but staying grounded. So I'm just like, ‘Teach me, sensei, what you know.'"
The close pals and collaborators are set to hit the road together on the ‘Grand National Tour’ of North America in April.
