Review | The SOS Tour: S ZA O nstage is S ensational

The dynamic songstress sets the bar higher with a live show as meticulously crafted as her music

I’m not sure if I really knew what it meant to have my undivided attention captured for an hour and a half straight until I watched a recent show. And even before then, in the hour before entering said show, hordes of people were already beguiled: shifting crowds clawing to get inside, excited fans running out of lines with handfuls of shirts, displays being torn down prematurely as merch was selling out before the show even began. So what was the wizard-like force hypnotizing these pawns into a descension of madness?

It was a little Grammy Award winning (and Academy Award nominated) alternative R&B artist who goes by the stage name SZA. Her music sincerely combines soul, hip hop, indie rock, and R&B, with lyrics exploring the darkest parts of our brain. SZA isn’t afraid to tackle the parts of us that scrutinize the tiniest moments that lead to relational demise, and takes the aspects we hate yet need to understand and makes them sound beautiful with expertly imperfect instrumental choices that elevate polished pop sounds.

She recently marked a whopping ten weeks at the top of the chart with her latest album, SOS. Celebrating its release on her SOS Tour this year, SZA created a stadium show that’s her biggest and brightest yet. Within the confines of a stadium, she makes you feel like she’s talking right to you. No space is unused, with extra stages on the main stage, a life-sized ship she dances across, and a giant flying boat that sets sail through the air to a lighthouse that shines onto the audience.

SZA’s set features an eclectic mix of her best songs. She starts the night with “PSA,” sitting on the edge of a ledge, in front of multiple screens with images of slow moving waves, just like her latest album cover. What ensues is a four act show with not a single dull moment. Highlights include her singing her hit “Drew Barrymore” sitting on the floor, “Shirt” with SZA and her backup dancers executing a perfect routine to a synchronized light show of water spurts, and “F2F,” simply due to its sheer melodic magnificence.

However, the best moment was in Act III, as SZA sailed across the sky in a lifeboat in a giant puffy dress, with beams of blue light right below her as she sailed atop it like the top of the sea. She sang the holy trinity of sadness — “Supermodel,” “Special,” and “Nobody Gets Me” — and each of these songs see her pen at her most powerful. “Supermodel” sees her confidently spitting out the words we’ve always wanted to say to an ex but never had the guts to say, where we admit they both were the perpetrator in making us doubt ourselves, but failed to realize we were a villain ourselves. Does that ultimately give us retroactive power despite being the first to realize we were cheated? “Special” is a personal favorite, talking about how one small decision of choosing the wrong person to give everything to can lead to being stripped of nothing, since it’s become theirs to take away. We can end up unwittingly becoming just as devoid as the con of a person we once loved. “Nobody Gets Me” is a ballad where SZA croons but her lyrics scream; “If I’m real, I deserve less, if I was you, I wouldn’t take me back…Nobody gets me, you do.” In five words, she begs all sorts of questions: what are you supposed to do when you’ve lost the one person you could have had the most magic with? Why couldn’t you hold onto it? What does life even look like after you know how love can feel?

As the show comes to a close, she sits atop the ledge again, bringing her iconography full circle. But this time, she’s in the sky. We’ve been dragged through the depths of the sea, as to be expected: dark, isolating, brutal. But now that she’s confronted that pain with us, she’s high up, sunlight peaking out from behind her. Lush clouds and stars appear, and she goes from wanting to give up and drown to flying into an incandescent sky. It’s indicative of how her vulnerability in her words can bring a beautiful show like this to life. The words “The End” are written across a final image of the night sky.

As the show comes to a close, the lights turn on and the stage and screens turn black. SZA pops out, smiling and waving in an all black outfit, blending back into the stage. She’s still the superstar with superhuman performing powers, oozing power and charisma, but just slightly more akin to the awkward girl she writes so candidly about in her songs that we resonate so deeply with. The proof is in the movement of the room; she can still turn the heads of an entire stadium of fans and bring them to a halt on the stairs as they somehow don’t trip over each other, enchanted. SZA beams, waving emphatically, doing her best to look at each and every person in the crowd. “Thank you! Thank you for coming at all. I love you!”

And they all cheer, one last time.

“It was definitely like, ‘I doubt that this is going to be allowed to be on the album,’ but it surprisingly was,” SZA detailed of the ODB feature. “I talked to his estate. It really just came from a piece of documentary footage from Rodney Jerkins, and he was sweet enough to let me use that. [Ol’ Dirty Bastard] was freestyling in the back of the footage, so I took the audio.”

Born in St. Louis and raised in Maplewood, NJ, genre-defying, and GRAMMY Award winning recording artist SZA released her major label debut album Ctrl (TDE/RCA) in 2017. Revered for its raw and honest lyrics, it landed at No. 1 on Billboard ’s R&B Albums chart, No. 2 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, according to Nielsen Music. The now RIAA-certified 3xPlatinum album received five Grammy nominations in 2018 and more than half the songs on Ctrl are currently certified multi-Platinum and Gold. Ctrl remains on the Billboard 200 chart since its release in 2017 and holds the record for the longest run for any Black female artist’s debut album. In 2022 alone it sold over 600,000 units and is the 10th best-selling female album this year in the country and 50th best-selling album in 2022 overall.

SZA has won various awards since the release of Ctrl including a 2022 GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Dou/Group Performance for “Kiss Me More” with Doja Cat, Billboard Music Awards’ Top R&B Female Artist, BET Awards’ Best New Artist, BET Soul Train Awards’ Best R&B/Soul Female Artist and Best New Artist, MTV Video Music Awards’ Best Visual Effects for the “All The Stars” with Kendrick Lamar, and NAACP Image Awards’ Outstanding New Artist. In 2019, she won NAACP Image Awards’ Outstanding Duo or Group for “All The Stars” with Kendrick Lamar and Outstanding Soundtrack/Compilation for the Black Panther Soundtrack . SZA also received Billboard’s 2019 Women in Music Rule Breaker award.

To this day, SZA continues to set the standard on creativity and songwriting, while shattering records with over 7.2 billion streams worldwide across all platforms. To close out the trying year of 2020, SZA gifted fans on Christmas Day with the hopeful track “Good Days.” Grammy-nominated for Best R&B Song, the single quickly became SZA’s greatest gainer solo single release, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and marking her first time in the chart’s top ten as the main artist. December 2021, SZA scored her second lead artist top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with the official release of “I Hate U,” which debuted at #7. The song also entered at #1 on both Spotify and Apple Music US charts and broke the record for the most streamed R&B song by a female artist on Apple Music in its first week.  “Shirt,” her most recent single has garnered over 60 million streams globally since its release in October. SZA’s long-awaited new album SOS includes features by Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers and Ol’ Dirty Bastard; with production by Ctrl hitmaking collaborators ThankGod4Cody and Carter Lang, alongside Jeff Bhasker, Rob Bisel, Benny Blanco, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Emile Haynie, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Jay Versace, and more.

SZA Concert Review: A Voyage of Stunning Visuals and Remarkable Artistic Vision

SZA unmistakably embodies the future of R&B — her “SOS Tour” serves as evidence of her innate ability to transform an album into art.

For the sixth show of her “SOS Tour” at Boston’s TD Garden on Feb. 28, SZA brought her acclaimed second studio album of the same name to life. The St. Louis native’s recent album has amassed chart-topping success since its release on Dec. 9, debuting as No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for seven consecutive weeks, in addition to three additional weeks in late February. SZA, along with winning Billboard’s Woman of Year, is one of eight artists to ever have an album at No. 1 for ten weeks and currently holds the most weeks at No. 1 for a female artist in nearly seven years.

The SOS tour brings listeners along a voyage of SZA’s relationship with self acceptance, heartbreak, and love. Following the natural ebbs and flows of the waves that adorn her album cover, SZA’s sound is dynamic and complex. She expands the boundaries of traditional R&B albums, incorporating different genres and displaying an openness to experiment and explore. This approach also transforms her album into a performance to be remembered.

Immersing the Garden in flowing, blue waves of light, SZA began the show stunning the audience, projecting a captivating self portrait amongst a vast ocean to perfectly accompany her melodic vocals to “PSA.” SZA, by plunging into the ocean around her mere moments after the concert began, cemented an air of electricity and excitement that didn’t leave the stadium until her last number.

The production design was highlighted by the nautical theme and maritime aesthetic of “SOS,” allowing each song to draw fans into the enthralling visuals. Simply put, SZA had control of her audience like no other.

For the next track, SZA emerged from the ocean singing “Seek & Destroy” on top of a rusty sailboat. Despite the set’s seemingly dark aesthetic, the Garden never felt so lively. As SZA sang, she accompanied her rhythmic melody to an eye-catching sequence of smooth dancing and swaying, highlighting both the calming nature of her album and the talent of her notably diverse crew of dancers.

Continuing her galvanizing start, SZA never remained stagnant, ensuring that each act was as lively as the last. SZA’s dedication to maintaining an exhilarating momentum was epitomized in her performance — albeit in a nontraditional fashion — of “Smoking on My Ex Pack.” Despite needing an outfit change, SZA never left the audience’s line of sight; instead, as her team changed her clothes backstage, she could still be seen on a screen hitting each lyric of the song. SZA’s stunning look in the grayscale camera filter and her unique backstage performance added a phenomenally dynamic contrast to her other songs that exceeded expectations.

From her setlist, two songs stand out amongst the rest: “Kill Bill” and “Good Days.” “Kill Bill,” being one of the most popular songs SZA has released to date, was phenomenal on stage. While singing the lyrics “I might kill my ex,” SZA approached the stage using the chained mace weapon from the film “Kill Bill Volume:1” to attack the figures behind her. SZA, most literally, packed the biggest punch of the night to form the excellent display of pain and defensiveness that brought her violent lyrics to life. With the screen behind her slowly filling with blood, her excellently crafted choreography meshed together with the setting to create an eye-catching and descriptive story of the meaning behind “Kill Bill.”

SZA’s artistic expressions did not wane for her closing song. “Good Days” painted a compelling portrait of the beauty of SZA’s lyrics through the most impressive visuals of the night. An ever-changing, intergalactic sunset created the stunning background to SZA sitting on the diving board from her performance of the first song. The full-circle ending gave a fulfilling close to the non-stop night.

From reminiscent additions to the setlist, such as “Kiss Me More” and “All the Stars,” to serenading the audience while floating around the stadium on a boat, SZA’s adept performance was an unforgettable voyage through her album and a meaningful glimpse into the emotions tied to each song.

When speaking about the meaningfulness of her tour, SZA talked about being grateful for her successes and the involvement that embracing love has in her life and in the lives of others.

“The love that we have for ourselves and that we pour out to each other is what makes all the difference.”
