He mele kaulana ʻo SZA a he haku mele ʻAmelika e hana ana i kekahi o nā ʻano hou loa, neo soul. Hiki ke wehewehe ʻia kāna mau haku mele he hui pū ʻana o R&B me nā mea mai ka ʻuhane, ka hip-hop, ka hale kilokilo a me ka chillwave.
Ua hoʻomaka ka mea hoʻokani i kāna ʻoihana mele ma 2012. Ua loaʻa iā ia he 9 Grammy Award nominations a me 1 Golden Globe Award nomination. Loaʻa iā ia kahi makana Billboard Music ma 2018.
Ke ola mua o SZA
ʻO SZA ka inoa kahua o ka mea hoʻokani i lawe ʻia mai ka Alphabet Supreme, kahi i kū ai ʻo "Z" a me "A" no "Zig Zag" a me "Allah". Ka inoa maoli: Solana Imani Rowe. Ua hānau ʻia ka mea pena ma Nowemapa 8, 1990 ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo ʻAmelika ʻo St. Louis (Missouri).
ʻAʻole i hoʻopiʻi ke kaikamahine e pili ana i kona wā kamaliʻi, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka nui o ka loaʻa kālā o kona mau mākua. Ua hana kona makuakāne ma ke ʻano he mea hana hoʻokō ma CNN. Ma ka huli ʻana, ua paʻa ka makuahine i kahi kūlana alakaʻi ma ka mea hoʻohana kelepona AT&T.
He kaikuaʻana ko Solana, ʻo Daniel, ka mea e ulu nei i ka rap, a he kaikuahine hapalua ʻo Tiffany. ʻOiai ʻo ka makuahine o ka mea hoʻokani he Karistiano, ua hoʻoholo mau kona mau mākua e hānai i ke kaikamahine ma Muslim. I kona wā kamaliʻi, ma waho aʻe o ka hele ʻana i ke kula haʻahaʻa maʻamau, ua hele pū ʻo ia i kahi kula Muslim. A hiki i ka papa 7, ua komo ke kaikamahine i kahi hijab. Eia naʻe, ma hope o ka pōʻino o Kepakemapa 11 ma New York, ua hoʻoweliweli ʻia ʻo ia e kāna mau hoa papa. No ka pale ʻana i ka hoʻoweliweli, ua kāpae ʻo Solana i ke komo ʻana i ka hijab.
Ua hele ʻo SZA i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Columbia, kahi āna i pāʻani ai i nā haʻuki me ka hoihoi nui. I ka wā o kāna aʻo ʻana, hele ikaika ʻo ia i nā papa cheerleading a me nā papa haʻuki. Mahalo i kēia, ua hiki iā ia ke loa'a ka inoa o kekahi o nā ha'uki maika'i loa ma United States.
Ma hope o kona puka 'ana mai ke kula, ua ho'ā'o 'o ia e a'o ma 'ekolu mau kulanui. ʻO ka mea kūikawā hope loa i hoihoi i ka mea hoʻokani, ʻo ia ka biology moana ma Delaware State University. Eia naʻe, i kāna makahiki hope o ke aʻo ʻana, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e haʻalele i ke kulanui a hana.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke ala noʻonoʻo a me nā kūleʻa mua o Solana Rowe
I kona wā ʻōpiopio, ʻaʻole i hoʻolālā ʻo SZA e hāʻawi iā ia iho i ka hana hana. "Makemake au e hana i ka ʻoihana, ʻaʻole wau makemake e hana mele," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, "Ua manaʻo wau e hana wau i kahi keʻena maikaʻi." Ua hoʻopaʻa ka mea hoʻokani pila i kāna mele mua ma 2010.
I ka makahiki 2011, hoʻokani ʻo Solana no ka manawa mua ma CMJ New Music Report me nā hoaaloha mai ka lepili Top Dawg Entertainment. Ua hiki ke kaikamahine i laila mahalo i kāna keikikāne. Ua hana ʻo ia no kahi hui i kākoʻo i nā hanana. Ua hana pū ʻo Kendrick Lamar ma ka hōʻike. Ua makemake ʻo Terrence Henderson (peresidena o ka lepili TDE) i ka hana a SZA. Ma hope o ka hana, hoʻololi ʻo ia i nā pilina me ka mea mele.
I nā makahiki ʻelua e hiki mai ana, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Solana i ʻelua mau EP kūleʻa, i loaʻa iā ia kahi ʻaelike me TDE. Ua kōkua kona mau hoa i ka mea hoʻokani i ka haku ʻana i kāna mau haku mele mua.
Ua loaʻa iā lākou kekahi mau beats ma ka Pūnaewele, kākau i nā mele iā lākou a laila hoʻopaʻa i nā mele. ʻO kēia ka mea i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ka EP mua o ke kaikamahine See.SZA.Run i ka makahiki 2012. A i ka makahiki 2013, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kekahi mini-album "S". Ma hope mai, hele kaʻapuni ka mea mele e kākoʻo i ka hōʻiliʻili.
I ka makahiki 2014, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka Teen Spirit hoʻokahi. Ma hope o kona kaulana ma ka Pūnaewele, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Solana, me ka rapper 50 Cent, i kahi remix a hoʻokuʻu i kahi wikiō. I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, hiki ke lohe ʻia ke kiʻi kiʻi ma nā feats me nā hoaaloha he nui mai ka lepili. ʻO kekahi hana koʻikoʻi ʻo Child's Play with Chance the Rapper.
Me ka "Z" EP, i piʻi i ka helu 39 ma ka Billboard 200, ua piʻi nui ka ʻike o SZA. A laila hoʻomaka nā mea pena kaulana honua e hoʻouna i kāna mau makana. No laila, ua komo ʻo Solana i ke kākau ʻana i nā mele no Beyonce, Nicki Minaj и Rihanna. I ka makahiki 2016, ua hīmeni ʻo ia i kahi hapa o ke mele Consideration mai ka album Anti a Rihanna.
ʻO ka album studio mua a SZA a me nā makana
I Iune 2017 (ma hope o ke kau inoa ʻana me RCA Records), ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo SZA i kāna album studio mua, Ctrl. I ka wā mua, ua manaʻo ʻia e hoʻokuʻu ʻia i 2014-2015. e like me ke kolu o ka EP "A". Eia naʻe, ua hoʻoholo ke kaikamahine e hoʻomaikaʻi i nā mele a kākau i kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe no kahi album piha. Ua loaʻa i ka hana he helu nui o nā loiloi maikaʻi mai ka poʻe hoʻolohe a me nā mea hoʻohewa. Ma Malaki 2017, ua loaʻa iā ia ka palapala hōʻoia kālā.
Wahi a Time magazine, ua lilo ʻo Ctrl i album maikaʻi loa o 2017. Loaʻa iā ia ke mele ʻo Love Galore, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me Travis Scott. Ua hiki ke piʻi i ka helu 40 ma ka Billboard Hot 100 a ma hope i hōʻoia ʻia i ka platinum. Ua loaʻa iā SZA, kāna album Ctrl, The Weekend, Supermodel a me Love Galore i nā koho ma ka 2018 Grammy Awards. Eia kekahi, ua loaʻa i ka mea pena ka helu nui loa o nā koho i waena o nā mea hana a pau.
Ua like ke mele me ka R&B kuʻuna, akā ua loaʻa nā mana mai ka pahele a me ka pōhaku indie. Loaʻa i ka moʻolelo kahi ʻano kani kani pololei me nā mea o ka pop, hip-hop a me electronica. Ma kāna loiloi o ka album, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jon Pareles o ka New York Times no SZA: "Akā i kēia manawa ua kauoha piha ʻo ia i ka mua o kāna mau mele. He kani maoli kona leo, me kāna mau huaʻai a me kāna mau kamaʻilio.
He aha ka hana a Solana Rowe i nā makahiki i hala iho nei?
ʻO kekahi o nā mele lanakila loa a SZA ʻo All The Stars, i hoʻokani pū me Kendrick Lamar. ʻO ia ke alakaʻi hoʻokahi ma ka album mele mele ʻo Black Panther. I kekahi mau lā ma hope o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana, ua lawe ka haku mele i ke kūlana 7 ma ka palapala Billboard Hot 100. Eia kekahi, ua loaʻa i ke mele kahi koho Golden Globe Award ma ka ʻāpana "Most Original Song".
I ka makahiki 2019 (ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke mele ʻo Brace Urself), ua hoʻolaha ʻo Solana e noʻonoʻo ana ʻo ia e hoʻokuʻu i kahi album studio lua. Aia nā lono e makemake ana ka mea pena e kākau i ʻekolu mau moʻolelo, a laila e hoʻopau ʻo ia i kāna ʻoihana. Akā naʻe, ua hōʻole koke ʻo SZA i kēia mau lono. Ua ʻōlelo ka mea pena e hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā mele, akā ʻaʻole maopopo i ka manawa e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ka album piha.
Ma muli o ke ʻano o nā tweet i hoʻopuka ʻia ma ʻAukake 2020, ua maopopo i ka poʻe pā ua mākaukau ka moʻolelo. Ua kākau ʻo Solana: “Pono ʻoe e nīnau iā Punch. ʻO kāna mea e ʻōlelo koke nei. ʻO nā pou e pili ana iā Terrence "Punch" Henderson, ʻo ia ka pelekikena o ka hōʻailona Top Dawg Entertainment. ʻO ka mea pena kiʻi a me ka peresidena lepili he pilina paʻakikī loa.
Mea mele SZA i kēia lā
Ma 2021, nā mea hoʻokani SZA a me ʻO Doja Cat hāʻawi i wikiō no ke mele Kiss Me More. I loko o ke wikiō, hoʻokani ka poʻe mele i ke kuleana o nā poʻe e hoʻowalewale i ka astronaut. Ua alakaʻi ʻia ke wikiō e Warren Fu.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka mahina kauwela mua o 2022, ua hauʻoli ka mea mele ʻAmelika i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka album deluxe Ctrl. E hoʻomanaʻo kākou ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kēia album 5 makahiki aku nei. ʻO ka mana hou o ka hōʻiliʻili ua lilo i mea waiwai me ka nui o nā mele 7 i hoʻokuʻu ʻole ʻia ma mua.
