In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, SZA revealed that she has been collaborating with artists like Tame Impala and Mark Ronson on a new project that defies genre categorization.
“People grapple with labeling me as hip-hop, R&B or pop, and it’s interesting to me. I’m just making music,” she said. “I listen to Stevie Nicks. I love classical jazz. I love folk. I love rap. I love Modest Mouse. I’m making an album with Tame Impala and Mark Ronson. When you try to label it, you remove the option for it to be limitless. It diminishes the music.”
This past summer, Ronson and Tame Impala's Kevin Parker debuted an unreleased track with SZA during their DJ set at Governor's Ball. Last year, Rihanna re-worked the Australian psychedelic band's 2015 track "New Person Same Old Mistakes" and transformed it into the ANTI slow-burner known as "Same Ol' Mistakes."
