The announcement marks a new chapter for SZA following the monumental success of her 2022 album, SOS, which earned multiple Grammy wins and topped charts globally.

Fans are already speculating about the album’s themes and sound. Some believe the title Lana could nod to fellow artist Lana Del Rey, known for her melancholic and cinematic music style, while others anticipate deeply personal and introspective themes.

Back in December 2023, SZA teased glimpses of Lana’s aesthetic through a series of cryptic social media posts, further adding to the anticipation.

SZA’s announcement comes during an already monumental year, as she recently received Grammy nominations for her hit single Saturn.

The track, a standout from SOS, has earned nods for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song. With the release of Lana, SZA looks poised to further solidify her place as one of the leading voices in modern R&B.

As fans eagerly await the album’s drop, SZA’s ability to blend R&B, soul, and introspective lyricism ensures that Lana will be one of the most talked-about releases of 2024.
