About this Episode
Why does SZA's latest album SOS hit different? It's the way her melodies don't repeat where you expect them they would, defying all the rules of pop . We break down how her endless melodies echo the intimate themes of her most recent release, and how they connect to genres ranging from gospel to Wagnerian opera.
