SZA - Go Gina (Audio)

Ctrl (pronounced \"control\"; originally under the title A) is the debut studio album by American singer SZA. It was released through Top Dawg Entertainment and RCA Records on June 9, 2017.[1] The album features guest appearances from Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, James Fauntleroy, and Isaiah Rashad. The deluxe edition includes seven additional tracks and was released exactly five years after the release of the regular version of the album. Production was handled by Craig Balmoris, Frank Dukes, Carter Lang, Scum, and ThankGod4Cody, among others. The album was supported by five singles: \"Drew Barrymore\", \"Love Galore\", \"The Weekend\", \"Broken Clocks\", and \"Garden (Say It like Dat)\", all of which are certified Platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Ctrl is primarily an alternative R&B and neo soul album, with elements of hip hop, pop, soul, electronic, and indie. Lyrically, the album has a confessional theme, which touch upon SZA's personal experiences and complexities of modern love; including desire, competition, jealousy, sexual politics, social media, and low self-esteem. Originally scheduled for release in late 2015, it was delayed by SZA's experience of \"a kind of blinding paralysis brought on by anxiety.\" She reworked the album until her record company took away her hard drive in the spring of 2017.[17][18][19][20][21] The album tests the borders of traditional R&B, drawing influences from trap and indie rock.[19][22][23] The album contains a precise sonic methodology, with a fluent production, containing influences from pop, hip-hop and electronic genres. These influences were compared to a mixture of different artists' work, including Sade, Lauryn Hill, Purity Ring, Yuki, Björk, Arca and Billie Holiday.[21] The production was characterised as predominantly hip-hop-influenced with hints of soul and pop.[21] The album has a confessional theme, which touch upon SZA's personal experiences of love. The album's lyrical content was seen as being \"frank\" and was noted as an insight into the complexities of modern love; of how desire, competition, jealousy, sexual politics, social media and low self-esteem can derail a relationship.[24] Claire Lobenfeld of Pitchfork described the album's lyrics as being \"honest\" and \"often comically blunt\".[22] SZA's vocals were noted for containing echoes that were achieved by turning down the reverb; this was done to give the album an \"intimate, confessional tone\".[24]

On July 5, 2017, SZA announced an official North American headlining concert tour titled Ctrl the Tour to further promote the album. The tour began on August 20, 2017, in Providence, Rhode Island, at Fête Music Hall, and concluded on December 22, 2017, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at The Fillmore Philadelphia.[40]Despite there being no European leg of the tour, on July 10, 2017, American singer and rapper Bryson Tiller announced that SZA would be opening for the European portion of his Set It Off Tour in support of his studio album True to Self from October 17, 2017, to November 30, 2017, separate from Ctrl the Tour.[41] Due to tickets for Ctrl the Tour quickly selling out, this prompted additional dates to be added. Due to health problems, the first three dates of the tour were rescheduled, causing the tour to begin on August 20 instead of August 16 as originally scheduled.[42][43] On July 31, 2017, SZA released a music video for \"Supermodel\", exclusively on Apple Music.[44] 59ce067264
