’s “SOS” was multi-layered. Devoted fans waited five years after the debut of the evergreen “Ctrl” for another complete body of work from the R&B singer — but that pressure only seemed to add more drawbacks and prompted laborious cycles of self-introspection heard on the 23-song set.
She went on to detail several challenges throughout the recording process, including her many urges to backtrack “SOS,” even in the week leading up to its release. Of the songwriting process, she says she often found herself bored with what she was making, an indirect result of having sat on the album for as long as she did, and because she was attempting to say and create something fresh.
She continues: “Even when I was [doing the] track listing, I was like, ‘Ugh, this shit is so boring’ or ‘it sucks,’ or when I couldn’t get some of the things I wanted for the initial cover idea or things weren’t working out, I’m like, ‘let’s just put it out with no cover and just leave everything blank.’”
That inner conflict was something she spoke to at length, also recalling the pressure of her launch into solo stardom in a circle that belonged to women who are “fair-skinned and skinny.”
