SZAโs career reminds me much of Normani. How she can only land collabs in the pop world. That's because none of the singles from Ctrl were actually promoted to pop.

Pop features for the money and to reach bigger audience, solo music for the authenticity & to keep the fanbase loyal. I'm not sure how Normani's career is comparable though. She literally doesn't have a 'sound' yet.

It's cool enough. Probably not a massive hit though.
I kinda feel like Max Martin wants to return to 2015 when he had massive hits with JT's "Can't Stop The Feeling" and The Weeknds "Can't Feel My Face", that were both throwback bops, so now he is back with "Blinding Lights" and this, which again are two throwback bops featuring Jt and The Weeknd. Not sure it is quite going to work this time, but Blinding Lights is at least smashing worldwide, if it is only climbing slowly in the US.

I wish this wasn't associated with 'Trolls 2' (so that Justin Timberlake could have nothing to do with it) but if SZA can siphon whatever she can out of JT's shriveled and fading star power, good for her.

Blinding lights is already bigger than Canโt feel my face, so he did a good job.

Oh damn, I love this. SZA especially shined on this and I really enjoyed the music video. It looked like they had fun filming it and she looked gorgeous throughout. I'm glad to see that she's gonna get another hit.

It's been awhile.

I like this a lot. The production is cute and makes me want to move. I like SZA on more poppy tracks.

I like this even if it is 2020 Love, Sex, & Magic also SZA looked great in the video, nice visual
Also on the topic of SZA and pop radio, none of CTRL (god bless that amazing album) was ever pushed to pop radio since all of the record was more or less Urban R&B Love Galore & The Weekend killed it on Urban charts, Broken Clocks also did moderately well too

The song completely throws away the fact that it is a soundtrack song for a freaking kids movie! Because it is too good! SZA and JT mesh very well and also really disco-sounding!

IDK what y'all are talking about. This literally gives me 0 CSTF vibes. CSTF was a happy song and wasn't as underwhelming as this.
This isn't the worst song ever but it really is nothing special and I would change the station if it comes on.

The first SZA song I have zero interest in checking out or seeking out. Her feature guest here makes me vomit so I'll rely on some of yall takes.

SZAโs career reminds me much of Normani. How she can only land collabs in the pop world. That's because none of the singles from Ctrl were actually promoted to pop. No offense but Sza had a lot more solo success on Urban with her first album. Normani has never had solo success outside of a couple of hit collaborations. Sza's first album built her a strong Urban base and she had a couple of pop collaborations such as The Black Panther song and the Maroon 5 song.
