SZA talks Kendrick Lamar collaboration and creative process ahead of their joint stadium tour

In light of their joint tour, SZA opens up the about the possibility of a joint album with Kendrick Lamar.

During the promotion of her upcoming movie One of Them Days which is releasing in theatres next week, SZA appeared on Sherri Shepherd's talk show and opened up about the possibility of collaborating on project with Kendrick Lamar.

“I would love that,” the 'Kill Bill' singer stated straightforwardly, when asked about a joint project. “I think that would be amazing. He’s such a genius. And a part of his genius is like him being so elusive and so mysterious and I love it.”

 

SZA also talked about her features, 'Luther' and 'Gloria' on Kendrick's album GNX revealing that she had no idea what version of her vocals were appearing on it.

“I don’t know what’s going on as much as you don’t know what’s going on,” she continued. “When ‘Luther’ came out, I said, ‘OK, that’s the vocals we’re using, period.’ Same with ‘Gloria.’ I said, ‘OK.'”

The Grammy-winning singer felt positively about working with Lamar, explaining that it encourages her to experiment outside her comfort zone.

“He’s a huge part of my fumbling and finding era because I’m trusting his expertise and being thrust into these moments and spotlight and saying yes. He’s so good at saying yes, but staying grounded. So I’m just like, ‘Teach me, sensei, what you know.'”

SZA and Kendrick start their Grand National Tour across stadiums in North America on April 19 in Minneapolis.
