In an intriguing twist, SZA has just offered fans a glimpse into her upcoming project, ‘Lana,’ via a captivating teaser trailer shared across her social media platforms.
There’s been a lot of buzz about whether ‘Lana’ would stand alone or be tied to her hit album SOS. The teaser trailer finally seems to shed some light on this mystery. As viewers are taken through scenes of SZA in a wooded area, a new track sampling the Isley Brothers’ ‘Voyage to Atlantis’ plays in the background. Suspenseful moments unfold as on-screen text reads ‘Lana,’ followed by ‘SOS Deluxe.’ This seemingly confirms that ‘Lana’ is the continuation fans have been speculating about—an extension of her acclaimed sophomore album.
SZA teased fans further with her selective words, “Clock starts now. Happy anniversary.” However, when this clock runs out remains shrouded in mystery. Fans are left to wonder when exactly they will have this music in their playlists. Adding to the intrigue, on Kai Cenat’s livestream, SZA hinted at a completely separate project from the SOS deluxe, slated to debut before year’s end.
More insights were revealed in SZA’s recent Vogue story. It’s clear she’s diligently working on a deluxe edition of SOS, and simultaneously crafting her third album, aptly titled ‘Lana.’ Meanwhile, SZA reflected on her artistic journey with Billboard, expressing a desire to wrap up this chapter with pride, ready to transition into new creative ventures.
The artist has been dropping hints about expanding her blockbuster album for quite some time. Towards the end of last year, SZA shared potential covers for the deluxe edition. Fans were ready for a pre-Christmas release, but the project was delayed. In an introspective moment, SZA mused about finding personal fulfillment beyond accolades, seeking internal validation and peace.
SZA’s cryptic updates and mysterious teasers have the music world buzzing with anticipation. Whether ‘Lana’ will surpass expectations or settle into its imagined role as a deluxe edition, SZA continues to keep her audience on the edge, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in her musical story.
