SZA says that TDE and RCA Records are delaying her album; she wanted it out this summer. Punch responds

[dora_da_destroyer]

it was an unfinished demo that had a catchy hook.

unfinished or not it caught fire and is a whole anthem...that's the whole reason i don't get SZA and her bullshytting, she drops these loosies that end up doing extremely well, she has an audience

She been crying out about this label and the album situation since 2017.

Damn.

What's crazy is that instead of releasing a Deluxe version of CTRL, they easily could've taken those extra tracks along with "I Hate You", released it as a separate EP with a title alluding to theong wait for the album, and they would've probably bought themselves some time for whatever it is they seem to be waiting on.

LMAO Punch posted a tweet statement admitting SZA was telling the truth - they discussed a summer release - but him and Top delayed it because they wanted more time. And now he deleted the tweet.

wow, i had no clue they added more songs to CTRL what a way to engage your fans, drop a deluxe to an album from 5 years ago and hope they realize it's not just a 5 year re-release (which i thought it was, i aint even check for it because of that).


and yea, those tracks plus hit different, good days and i hate you woulda been a nice package for an EP or mixtape

Exactly. I didn't even know there was a Deluxe out until I read about it on here. And "Hit Different" and "Good Days" feel like they were so long ago that I forgot all about them.

If I could come up with that simple ass solution without a single day in the business, ain't no reason they shouldn't have.

When RCA drops her after this album...

 

[RichYung]

These mafukkas so lame lol

 

[FunkDoc1112]

TDE is pure incompetence

 

[Fanservice]

She getting thick in all the right places

She was already thick in the right places. Now she just got a belly to go along with it

 

[rabbid]

what it really comes down to is "we're not confident in you to move units at this time."

 

[EndDomination]

Punch had to literally snatch CTRL away from her because she's a perfectionist and kept wanting to work on it. Also SZA likes to tell little white lies so ain't no telling if the album is finished, not, just started working on it, who knows??

Judging by his reaction he’s bullshytting.

SZA has guaranteed sales. Punch clearly has no idea what he’s doing with his artists.

I mean I can agree their strategy is a bit ridiculous. With all the attn Good Days and Kiss Me More got, SZA's albums should've been out last year. My issue is this isn't even the 2nd or 3rd time they've disagreed publicly and at times it seems like a ploy for attn as opposed to a real disagreement.
