SZA's Ctrl just celebrated its 5th anniversary, and it's an album that R&B fans (like us) still play regularly. To celebrate the project's 5th anniversary, SZA's shared a deluxe version of the project, featuring some tracks that she made around the time of Ctrl.
The album features seven new tracks: Love Galore (Alt Version), 2AM, Miles, Percolator, Tread Carefully, Awkward and Jodie. It's a mix of totally new tracks and songs that were previously only available on SoundCloud.
Jodie features some seriously hypnotic production from Tyler, The Creator, while 2AM is SZA's spin on PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake's Come And See Me. Talking about the release on Twitter, SZA clarified that "everything [was] made in 2014-2016 /17… not new lol to be absolutely clear."

Speaking to Variety after the Grammys, she responded to a question about her second album, explaining that “I just finished it up in Hawaii. And it’s coming soon! I think it’s my most unisex album. I think it’s for everyone.” We cannot WAIT.
