SZA - SOS (December 9, 2022) Album • Page 12

I can think of EPs that are released on their own, then added to an album as a package (Pax Am Days being added to Save Rock and Roll). There are of course multi-part albums (like The 20/20 Experience pt 1 and 2) that are considered two different albums despite being a whole, because Pt 2 is not a deluxe edition exactly. I can't think of anything else like this specifically however.

The jaded part of me wonders if it's being released this way purely to game the system somehow. A way to get SOS back on the charts and make that album feel bigger, but at the same time it would be more impressive for a whole new album to make whole new records.... anyway I am just blabbering on, but it's interesting to me

 

I guess we’ll see

 

Yeah this is definitely gonna be like 10 new songs and then the whole ass tracklist of SOS after it

 

if it's gonna be a true deluxe, go all out and do a 3xLP, because i've held off on picking it up in case a deluxe was coming

 

Caroline P gonna be on it!? Ben Stiller music video!? We……we’re back aren’t we?

 

oh, ok then, wow

 

I hate it

 

be kinda weird not to

 

Lol

 

at least that's more a sign of bad photoshopping than of AI

 

i believe the art was fixed from what someone said she posted on Facebook (although that area might've been corrected with AI, idk)

 

both lazy and artless

 

That's true, just wanted to at least point it out

 

Please that is terrible

 

you can see the line where part of the image was dragged over....it kind of barely qualifies as photoshopping lol

 

really tired of people body shaming d'angelo

 

Her bug thing is weird but i respect it

 

per her IG stories, it looks like they're still selecting final mixes. no way in hell this hits DSPs at midnight (unless these are old photos).

 

wasn't there a lyrical reference to something extremely recent on the Kendrick album?

 

Oh boy here we go

 

I honestly don't understand how/why this is so common for hip-hop/R&B these days. Can they really not create a body of work without an impending deadline? Just..... finish the album and then set a release date when it's done, it's not that crazy. Setting release dates before an album is done just makes no sense

 

having streaming releases before physicals dropped has allowed more artists to last minute change a lot of things

 

absolutely, and I don't think it's a good thing haha. The post-release edits and changes are also annoying because it's showing that the product they released was not the final product
