30 January 2024 - SZA - Kill Bill

SZA is an overnight success story who has been around for a decade.

Nominated for nine Grammys this year - three for this critically acclaimed song from her critically-acclaimed album SOS - SZA finally scored a #1 US hit on the pop charts (#3 on the year end chart!) with this song.  Written by SZA with Carter Lang and Rob Bisel, the song is definitely named after the Quentin Tarrantino movies - and SZA emphathized with Bill, who didn't really know why he did what he did (at first.  Clearly, it was love).  

Anyway, the song is cool and nuanced and, well, it took me a while to get into it, but it grew on me.


When you perform a song like this live - like SZA did a lot - you don't even have to sing the song.  Everyone knows the words.  I mean, she did sing the song, but everyone knew the words.


Doja Cat and SZA are frequent collaborators, so it was not a surprise when Doja Cat remixed "Kill Bill" with a new video and her own vocals....

Still, pretty cool.
