One thing about Solana… she does no wrong for me. Something about her songs puts you in this trance like state where it’s basically an escape and this track is the perfect example of that.
SZA has once again captivated her audience with the surprise release of her latest single, “Saturn.” The track, is reportedly featured on the rumored album Lana or the potential SOS deluxe edition (not quite sure if that’s the same thing at this point, but I’m sure she’ll tell us soon). The song, which was first unveiled during a Grammys commercial just a few weeks back, showcases SZA’s lush vocals and explores the theme of heartbreak. The opening verse sets the tone right away as SZA contemplates the possibility of another universe and the plea for a sign in the face of life’s challenges. SZA’s delivery is extremely beautiful here, drawing listeners in rather quickly.
The chorus of “Saturn” sees SZA suggest that life might be better on the ringed planet. The desire to escape and break free from the patterns of heartache is notable in her lyrics. “Got to break this pattern of floatin’ away” she sings, encouraging the listener to find something worth saving.
“Saturn” is expected to be part of Lana or the deluxe version of SOS, SZA’s critically acclaimed sophomore album. The original release garnered nine Grammy nominations, with SZA securing three wins, including Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Progressive R&B Album, and Best R&B Song. The album continued to dominate charts and critics’ lists well into the following year, solidifying SZA’s position as a powerhouse in the music industry.
