She just a regular ass girl that's why I love her so much

[@likeamandistressed953]

God, I just want a woman with at least half of SZA' s inner beauty. I love her spirit.

[@lafemmerowena]

nipo lol her music is dope!

[@DamienHurts]

they out there, trust me... but you're too busy comparing them women like SZA that you don't even know like.. try and connect with a lady's inner beauty, don't just focus on what she talk about trying to impress you, or what she wearing or whatever. Go slow, ask the right questions, and watch that inner beauty blossom

[@meralEdwtDawlatly]

Also dont look for the apperance . Focus on the mind more

I'm so happy she spoke about her Islamic connection and everything else, not sure if she did before but I do remember a post from her Instagram and I always wanted to know more about how she views herself as a Muslim now. Love it! we all growing, Ramadan Mubarak, Can't wait to have her album on reply

[@besterthenyou]

Something about SZA is really familiar and comforting

[@chrystelbuakasa6278]

besterthenyou shes not superficial and just realist

[@vr6826]

her description of travis' music as dark and ethereal and highly conceptual is so spot on thats why i love it

I am a muslim as well. And hearing SZA speak about that opened my heart and the truth was breath taking and I'm proud cuz people think that when the talk down on islam they make us afraid witch is untrue!! So applause to YOU SZA!!

[@meuforever123]

she is also christian, one parent muslim, the other christian, bible verses are in her music

[@alrayyan.yriyami]

The way she talked about Islam made me tear up! I have never heard anyone out there in the world talk about Islam so beautifully... the way she talked about Ramadan, hijab, how we as Muslim don’t claim all those extremists who “claim” our faith, Islamophobia and more💗💗

[@alrayyan.yriyami]

The sexiest woman in music right now for me. Unconventional. Open but shy. Talented and smart and strong but submissive. Arrgghhh SZA!!!!!!

[@lacemitchell9895]

Agyako187 but submissive?...but submissive?..

[@Agyako187]

Nooooo not as in slave kind of way. That genuine want to give it all to someone just out of love. lol I don't wanna trigger anyone

Agyako187 its a submissiveness that’s aligned with a soft femininity. That men are very attracted to

[@goldenxronnie3739]

SZA is so Ethereal and in her own lane.. she’s so unconventionally beautiful inside and out. I already know CTRL is going to be one of the best albums of the year. No doubt. I’ve been a fan since See.Sza.Run so her artistic growth is amazing man.

[@red-draws5859]

This is the best interview I've seen with Sza. I love that she actually allows her to finish her thoughts without interruptions.. Great interview Nessa!!!! Thank you 👏👏👌❤

[@heavenmccray5391]

She is so real, I hope she continue to be her positive creative glowing self throughout her career because there are very few celebs that stay true to themselves. Love her❤️🤗

I have a girl crush on SZA. Its not just her outer beauty, but her beautiful spirit and bubbly personality too.

[@thomazz18]

This girl is the real deal, I can't wait for her to finally get the recognition she's só worthy of.

[@Gray-tb3yf]

Bro tell me the fucking merch is available, I will buy every item with "CTRL" written on it. I'll be streaming the album nonstop, straight through, and on repeat on Apple Music until I wear every song out. And I'm literally buying at least 3 hard copies on Friday, deadass. My most anticipated album ever.

[@dannykjackson]

LITERALLY ME

[@dannykjackson]

SPENDING MY ENTIRE PAYCHECK

[@Gray-tb3yf]

Alright so I've listened to the album about 5 times all the way through now, does anyone know if it will even be released as physical copies? Let me know.

[@esyebl]

they have some up on Amazon!

[@Gray-tb3yf]

+eddygurrr, Thanks a lot, I gotta make sure I contribute to her first week sales, besides just streaming.

[@andreamusagomez]

So many things I could say... I'm just going to say that so many artists are sooo beautiful.... The song Supermodel introduced me to this phenomenal soul. I relate so much to a numerous amount of these humans in different ways, and I just couldn't thank God enough for all these perspectives and all the love

[@RayMiguel98]

Bruh SZA is melting me rn. One of the most genuine female artists in the world

[@marlochap3964]

Really enjoyed this interview... Lovely... Listen to her early when she 1st came out. Very glad she Made it

[@jfraz1992]

I really hope her album does well she's a very underrated artist

[@teamusta1992]

duuuuuude she is so beautiful and talented

[@beinMEnaturally]

25:00 all young women should focus in on what shes saying and learn, she's really speaking truth..until we realize we really do attract what we give off. Well never reach the level where we truly desire to be.. I appreciate her soul. Very intelligent, and conservative held a lot back and has really grown since she been out the spotlight. Woman should be more conservative like her and not give too much away which shows the true dignity of a woman.

[@MrDJCue]

Amanda Staine Yeah. Main point is focus on bettering yourself and don't be so caught up in trying to attract people. Once you respect yourself then the right person will come along.

[@beinMEnaturally]

MrDJCue Yes, realizing this..and also knowing what you want and allowing a natural connection to take place, like when she said if shes suppose to meet an artist it should just happen without her putting much effort, thought or planning it.

[@MrDJCue]

Amanda Stains Yeah. The interview was already good. But once it hit that 25 min mark you pointed out and she just started dropping knowledge like she was, it got even better. Like you said, people need to pay attention.

[@ummeshariff]

Not always the case

[@shinesobright2408]

[@taliaatauatolo2559]

The last part where she was talking about attracting guys is sooooo me. I thought that was just me, everyone is so hung up about being in a relationship. I'm just focused on me and trying to stay busy. Maybe it's a scorpio thing. ♏️

She looks so different now. Like her face got slimmer and I think her hair changed. She was beautiful before and now too ❤️❤️❤️. I loveeee her.
