SZA had one hell of a summer. The release of CTRL brought her from an up-and-comer under the TDE umbrella to a dominating force in R&B. The lead single of her project, "Love Galore", has been a fan favorite since it's release. She's brought the song to Jimmy Kimmel's stage and to the BET Awards this year as well. Now, the song has now helped her reach another accomplishment in her career.
The Recording Industry Association of America officially announced that "Love Galore" is certified gold. It shouldn't come as much surprise considering that the song has been inescapable since it's release. She took to Instagram to show appreciation for the support by saying "THANK YOU FOR EVERY W . Thank u for listening ❤️ #TDE @iam_c_lang@thankgod4cody @travisscott"
Since releasing CTRL, SZA became a dominating force within the music and entertainment industry. Aside from performing on major stages, her vocal talent has been a sought after by the industry's biggest names. Last month, Maroon 5 got SZA for "What Lovers Do" and are reportedly working on a video for the single. Yesterday, Lorde dropped the remix to "Homemade Dynamite" alongside SZA, Post Malone & Khalid. HBO's "Insecure" has also been a heavy supporter of the songstress, premiering her latest song "Quicksand" on their season 2 soundtrack.
As CTRL is one of the most memorable releases of 2017 thusfar, she's already working on a follow up. During a Q&A with some fans in London, SZA revealed that she'll be working on a joint project with Tame Impala and Mark Ronson. While there's no release date for that, she plans on fulfilling her fans need for new music by releasing a deluxe edition of her acclaimed album. On Twitter, she hinted to her fans that the unreleased music they been hearing will likely end up on a CTRL re-release. While there's no confirmation on a release date, she hinted that it'll be before the end of the year.
However, for anyone looking to see the "Love Galore" singer live, she's currently on the CTRL tour which began in August and is set to wrap up on December 17th. Make sure you grab your tickets.
