What Does SZA’s Top 10 Debut for ‘Saturn’ Tell Us About What to Expect From Her ‘Lana’ Reissue?


SZA's "Saturn," expected to appear on her upcoming 'SOS' deluxe reissue 'Lana,' debuts at No. 6 on the Hot 100 this week.

Christine Werthman: “Saturn” comfortably floats alongside the other SOS tracks, with its atmospheric vibe — but it takes a whimsical turn, largely thanks to the arpeggiated, harp-like melody running underneath. Without a major viral moment to continue its immediate acceleration, “Saturn” may fall back some from its initial debut, but it ain’t going away anytime soon: This thing will slowly but surely burrow its way into the hearts and playlists of listeners and radio programmers, just like the last 47 SZA singles have. Jason Lipshutz: Obviously “Kill Bill” acted as the breakout hit of SOS and became SZA’s first Hot 100 chart-topper, but “Snooze” has helped sustain the chart run of the album for several more months and is still going strong more than a year after its release.
