SZA’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ALBUM Ctrl SET FOR JUNE 9TH  RELEASE ON TOP DAWG ENTERTAINMENT/RCA RECORDS

PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE NOW WITH INSTANT DOWNLOADS OF

“LOVE GALORE” AND “DREW BARRYMORE”

[New York, NY – May 26, 2017] Today, Top Dawg Entertainment/RCA Records’ recording artist SZA announces that her highly anticipated album, Ctrl, will be released digitally on June 9th.  The album is currently available for pre-order at all digital music providers and includes instant downloads of “Drew Barrymore” and her latest single “Love Galore” featuring Travis Scott.

The recent release of the “Love Galore” single and video were met with rave reviews from fans and critics alike, including Pitchfork, Stereogum, Billboard, Vibe and more. The Fader calls the track a “smooth collaboration… SZA and Travis Scott display a magnetic chemistry [in the video]…,” while Paper summarizes the song as a “perfect breezy springtime jam for your Carrie-Bradshaw-at-her-MacBook moods, and if you haven’t caught major feelings for SZA by the time the song is over then we really have nothing further to discuss.”

SZA, one of the redefining voices of today’s contemporary music era, entered the music scene in 2012 with her first critically acclaimed EP, See.SZA.Run. Following that, she released S in 2013 and Z in 2014, both to rave reviews. In 2013, SZA signed to Top Dawg Entertainment, being the first female artist to join the label. SZA wrote and performed on Rihanna’s Anti Single “Consideration” in 2016 and helped write Nicki Minaj and Beyonce’s “Feelin Myself” in 2014.

Born in Maplewood, New Jersey as Solána Rowe, SZA grew up listening to classic and avant-garde jazz, alternative, and rap.  She renamed herself finding inspiration within the Supreme Alphabet: the ‘S’ stands for savior or sovereign, the ‘Z’ for zig-zag, and the ‘A’ for Allah.
