SZA Wows With MTV Push Performance of 'Supermodel'
The Ctrl singer shows off her incredible vocals...
SZA is having an incredible year. Not only did her debut album Ctrl debut at Number 3 on the Billboard 200 in the US in June but it is also one of the best selling albums of the year so far. On top of all of that SZA is now this month's MTV Push Artist.
And the 'Love Galore' singer just dropped by MTV to wow us with a live rendition of her single 'Supermodel'.
That if, if I lost control
Or did not have control, things would just, you know
I would be… fatal
I'm writing this letter to let you know
I'm really leaving
And no, I'm not keeping your shit
Heard you got some new homies
Got some new hobbies
Even a new hoe too
Maybe she can come help you
Maybe she can come lick you after we're done
What's done is done
I don't want nothing else to do with it
Let me tell you a secret
I been secretly banging your homeboy
Why you in Vegas all up on Valentine's Day?
Why am I so easy to forget like that?
It can't be that easy for you to get like that
Oh no she didn't
Ooh yes I did
Oh no she didn't
I'll do it again
Leave me lonely for prettier women
You know I need too much attention for shit like that
You know you wrong for shit like that
I could be your supermodel if you believe
If you see it in me, see it in me, see it in me
I don't see myself
Why I can't stay alone just by myself?
Wish I was comfortable just with myself
But I need you, but I need you, but I need you
Ooh, just get a load of them, they got chemistry
All they could say, we like brother and sister
Look so good together
Bet they fuckin' for real
And they was right
That's why I stayed with ya
The, the dick was too good
It made me feel good
For temporary love
You was a temporary lover
Leave me lonely for prettier women
You know I need too much attention for shit like that
You know you wrong for shit like that
I could be your supermodel if you believe
If you see it in me, see it in me, see it in me
I don't see myself
Why I can't stay alone just by myself?
Wish I was comfortable just with myself
But I need you, but I need you, but I need you
WHAT A PERFORMANCE. SERIOUSLY THAT VOICE!
SZA mixes confessional lyricism with old school R&B soul vocals to touch on the trials and tribulations of 20 something life.
Her artistry has gained her high profile fans ranging from Kendrick Lamar and Drew Barrymore to Cardi B and Solange.
SZA has even helped write huge singles and tracks for some of the biggest artists in music.
The 'Broken Clocks' singer was one of the cowriters behind Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj's incredible 2015 hit collaboration 'Feeling Myself' and she also co-wrote and featured on 'Consideration' from Rihanna's critically acclaimed album Anti. What a talent.
And that's not all, SZA also features on Maroon 5's brand new single 'What Lovers Do'.
With a Tame Impala and Mark Ronson project on its way, SZA is killing it.
Now please excuse us while we rewatch that MTV Push performance.
