What makes a great album great? The inability to pick out a favorite song. When I first discovered the artist SZA, she had just signed to independent record label TDE. Home of the skillful and lyrically gifted Kendrick Lamar. The album Z isn’t your typical R&B project. Although a tad bit reminiscent of another recent R&B comer—Jhené Aiko who also brings a new and unique sound to R&B, the smooth and easy sound of Z is electrifying. It’s that kind of album that you simply press play to without the need to fast forward. Certainly the A&R folks over at TDE  had a vision when signing the first lady of the label. The album is refreshing, sensual and simply amazing. Get ready to be taken to an unforgotten space in sound. If you are a serious lover of music—you will appreciate her unique sound, it’s like no other. And that alone speaks volume in a time when individuality comes far and few in between.  Notable tracks to mention from this project: Ur, Child Play, Babylon, Warm Winds and Sweet November. I can’t turn it off. It’s been in heavy rotation since April.
