sza - garden (say it like dat)
how cool that sza and donald glover (aka childish gambino) have a friendship that allows for them to pop up in each other's videos (did you see her in the cameo for 'this is america'?). now he returns the favor by frolicking in the forest with the soul singer as she expresses her insecurities in the vulnerable 'garden'.
there's just SO MUCH good music these days that i decided to just do a blowout playlist of current hits, new jams and some tracks that are on constant repeat on my spotify playlist. you might know these tracks, but hey, play it in the background for your enjoyment or maybe you'll discover somethin along the way! enjoy!

sza - the weekend
i have to be honest, i totally misunderstood the intention of 'the weekend' when i first heard the song. rather than a woe is me being a side-piece jam, it's actually an... 'ok fine, i get him on the weekends, but i get the rest of the week to myself' anthem instead. to be honest, a fine lady like sza should have no problems getting a guy 100% of the time, but it probably wouldn't generate a number as good as this one. oh and the sparse video is directed by solange!
sza x calvin harris - the weekend (funk wav remix)
sharing a dude with another person never sounded so relaxed and um... fun. mixed messages galore here, but i can't stop bopping to this remix by calvin harris. of course i love the original more, but this is a wackadoo jam for your weekend!
want to see the incredible sza perform this live? check out this snl performance a few weeks back. damn she's so good!
sza - supermodel
the acoustic loop playing below sza freestyle vocals is easily one of the highlights of her acclaimed debut album 'ctrl'. when the drums kick in at the end it's like we are officially in total celebration of her thoughts and it's kind of genius. no wonder people have been buzzing about this talented voice for the past year. i'm a late-comer but damn i sure enjoy the discovery!
