The singer, rapper, and songwriter released her first E.P back in 2013 but rose to fame after her debut album Ctrl in 2017. Landing Grammy nominations and wins, SZA demonstrated to the music industry that women have the power to break down barriers. She showed herself to the world as raw, unique yet real, and an unapologetic voice of what makes her a real woman. Fans were able to relate to her experiences expressed through her music.
The newly released music video is for the single “Hit Different,” produced by the Neptunes and featuring Ty Dolla $ign. SZA shows off her dreamy voice, edgy dance moves, and style throughout the video’s different scenes.

Full of symbolism, the visual places SZA in different locations such as a barn where she shifts from being dressed in white to covered in red paint, then an empty field while covered in red once more and a junkyard where Ty Dolla $ign joins her.
