The rollout of the deluxe edition began in early December with teasers like a snippet of a new release, “Kitchen,” and a visual treatment for “Drive,” starring Ben Stiller. SZA released “Saturn” as a single in February after her Grammy Awards performance.
The Lana reissue of SOS features Kendrick Lamar on “30 for 30” and SZA’s regular team of producers, including ThankGod4Cody and Carter Lang, along with contributions from Lil Yachty and Benny Blanco.
