SZA | Ice Moon | Official Video
Earlier this year we discovered SZA's second, self-released EP, 'S': eight tracks of awesome, which we listened to straight through, and then we went straight back to the beginning to press play again. A pitch-perfect blend of glowering, boomy beats, fluttering synths, and SZA's luxuriant tones, the St. Louis-born singer messes with R&B and serves it up fresh. So it came as no surprise when Top Dawg Entertainment (Kendrick Lemar, Schoolboy Q) snapped her up. "Ice Moon" is lifted from 'S,' and its accompanying video is, much like SZA herself, rooted in reality but magic at the same time.
