SZA is up there pretty close to Beyoncé and Lauryn Hill in the pantheon of female singers with the hardest of bars, mikaelwood writes in his review of new album 'SOS.'

SZA bookends her enthralling new album with a pair of boom-bappy hip-hop tracks in which the R&B singer — a onetime cult figure who’s transformed into a major pop presence in the half-decade since her 2017 major-label debut, “Ctrl” — raps as ferociously as anyone has this year.

Both songs show off a rhythmic acuity and a nimbleness of flow that put the 33-year-old up there pretty close toand Lauryn Hill in the pantheon of female singers with the hardest of bars.

In its emotional sprawl — not to mention its diverse assortment of styles, from dusty soul to throbbing trap to trippy psychedelic rock — “SOS” evokes natural memories of “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” and “Beyoncé.” All those strummed guitars at the LP’s center, though, can also make you think about Taylor Swift’s “Red,” where the country-turned-pop star achieved perhaps her most artful balance of resentment and vulnerability.
