SZA has announced a deluxe album to her successful sophomore release ‘SOS’, which came out two years ago and featured hit tracks like ‘Kill Bill’, ‘Snooze’, and ‘Blind’.Titled ‘Lana’, this project initially began as a deluxe edition of ‘SOS’, but it remains uncertain whether it will be a standalone release.
SZA has kept fans on their toes over the past couple of years with teases about the album, even while she performed at major events like Glastonbury and BST Hyde Park.
So, when can we expect ‘Lana’ to drop? What will the tracklist look like for SZA’s deluxe album? Are there any featured artists on ‘Lana’? Here’s everything we know so far.
When is ‘Lana’ by SZA’s release date?
Two years after hinting at ‘LANA,’ SZA has announced that the wait for its release is almost over.Fans had initially expected the album to drop in December 2023, but that did not happen.
SZA recently stated during a Kai Cenat livestream in November 2024 that “It’ll be out before the year is over.”
In a now-deleted tweet from March 25, she mentioned that she would be creating Lana from scratch: “So, we’ll make this really simple. Y’all leaked three songs from the deluxe.”
At this point, y’all can keep the throwaways and leaks. I’ll be starting LANA from scratch. Do not ask me about it again. Thank you.”
What is the meaning of Lana by SOS?
In August 2023, SZA began teasing an SOS deluxe album, telling Variety, “I added a couple of songs. It’s like a whole new project.”
She revealed, “It’s called ‘Lana’ — my name, but it’s also the first tattoo I ever got when I was 13. It cost 10 bucks a letter, and I only had 40, so that became my nickname for no reason. ‘Lana’ is really just the B-side of SOS.”
