SZA just did what only the best do—keep the world hanging on her every move. Just hours before she takes the NFL Super Bowl Halftime Show stage alongside Kendrick Lamar, she’s gifted the masses with four brand-new tracks, reinforcing the musician‘s iron grip on the R&B throne.
The new additions—“Joni” (featuring Don Toliver), “Take You Down,” “PSA,” and a solo cut of “Open Arms”—have been seamlessly stitched into SOS Deluxe: Lana, the expanded version of her already-monstrous sophomore album. It’s the kind of surprise drop that sends shockwaves through the industry, the kind that reminds us who’s really running the show.
SOS originally hit in December 2022, and it didn’t just land—it dominated. Ten weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. An era-defining body of work. When SZA released Lana, the supersized edition, in December 2024, it roared back to the top spot for another two weeks. Now, with these latest tracks, she’s proving that SOS isn’t just an album—it’s a movement.
The timing? Immaculate. SZA is about to share the Super Bowl stage with Kendrick Lamar at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The duo has already proven their chemistry on Luther and Gloria from Lamar’s GNX album—now they’re bringing that fire to one of the biggest stages in the world. And if that’s not enough, the two will hit the road together for a joint North American tour kicking off April 19 in Minnesota.
The message is clear: SZA isn’t just here—she’s everywhere. And if the past few years have been any indication, the best is still yet to come.
