SZA, the acclaimed R&B artist, has officially released the much-anticipated deluxe edition of her sophomore album, ‘SOS’, titled ‘SOS Deluxe: LANA’. The expanded project, which dropped on December 20, 2024, features a total of thirty-eight tracks, including fourteen new songs alongside the original twenty-three tracks from ‘SOS’. The release faced a slight delay; initially scheduled for midnight, it was postponed to noon due to final mixing adjustments. SZA addressed the delay on social media, stating:
“Just needed a few more hours to make sure everything was perfect for you all.”
Among the new additions, the track ‘Drive’ has garnered significant attention, accompanied by a music video featuring actor Ben Stiller.
In the video, Stiller is seen driving and emotively lip-syncing to the song, culminating in a dance sequence on an empty highway. SZA makes an appearance towards the video’s end, transitioning into another track, ‘Crybaby’, donning prosthetics reminiscent of the album cover.
Reflecting on the journey since the original ‘SOS’ release, SZA expressed gratitude towards her supporters, stating:
“This past year has been a whirlwind, and I’m so thankful for everyone who has listened and connected with my music. *Lana* is a continuation of that journey, and I can’t wait for you all to experience it.”
The original ‘SOS’ album achieved remarkable success, spending ten weeks atop the Billboard 200 and earning SZA her first #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100. With the release of ‘SOS Deluxe: Lana’, SZA continues to solidify her position as a leading figure in contemporary R&B, offering fans an expanded and enriched musical experience.
