I disagree; SZA's writing is by far her strongest asset; her voice is beautiful but is not what sets her apart in the genre for me,( I actually think her bad diction when singing takes away from her writing at times).

Everyone says the world masterpiece and genius so much. SZA makes mediocre R&B. The record is not a masterpiece. It’s new age contemporary R&B B.S. Not even authentic “ R&B/Neo-soul”. Chris Brown, Drake, Brent Faiyaz make mediocre R&B. Kind of sad that this is the direction of contemporary and Alternative R&B. Don’t ever use the term masterpiece loosely it’s a very sentimental word.
