As many of you may know, SZA (sizz-uh), announced that her sophomore album, CTRL, would be released sometime in 2017. SZA recently dropped a track titled Drew Barrymore, a dreamy, 90s-esque ballad paying homage to the actress Drew Barrymore, whose starred in movies like Never Been Kissed and Poison Ivy. After listening to her album, Z, released in 2014, and her EP, S, released in 2013, here are twenty-seven (2017) artists and their various songs/albums/mixtapes you might enjoy listening to as well. From well-known favorites like Frank Ocean and The Weeknd, to lesser known up-and-comers like Junglepussy and Khalid, this is music hopefully SZA herself would approve of.
