SZA has dropped Lana, the long-awaited expanded edition of her critically acclaimed album SOS. As anticipated, the perfectionist artist was still fine-tuning the project up until its release, making fans wait a bit longer than expected. Originally slated for a midnight drop on Friday, December 20, the album is now available in all its 38-track glory, much to the delight of her dedicated followers.
What’s New on Lana?
Lana features 15 new songs, including fan favorites, unreleased tracks, and exciting collaborations. One of the most notable inclusions is “30 for 30,” a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, SZA’s friend and upcoming tour mate. The track showcases the chemistry between the two artists, blending their distinctive voices and lyrical prowess.
The deluxe album also includes SZA’s previously released single “Saturn,” as well as the new song “Drive.” The track made a splash earlier in the day, with SZA teasing its arrival through a playful video snippet. In the clip, actor Ben Stiller can be seen lip-syncing to the track while driving an SUV. The full music video, directed by Bradley J. Calder, takes things to another level. Stiller’s comedic performance leads into a surreal journey, eventually encountering a bug-like creature in the wilderness. It’s a wild ride, and fans are already buzzing about the unexpected visual pairing.
The Cover and the Details
The Lana deluxe edition also boasts a new album cover—an intimate portrait of SZA captured by photographer Cassidy Meyers. This new visual representation of the album perfectly complements the expanded tracklist and highlights SZA’s ever-evolving aesthetic.
For fans who’ve been immersed in SOS since its release, the deluxe edition offers more of the raw, emotional, and experimental sounds that have defined SZA’s musical journey. With Lana, she expands the universe of SOS, adding depth to an already layered and complex body of work.
