Five years ago today (June 9), SZA released her debut studio album Ctrl. She’s now released Ctrl (Deluxe), which includes seven previously unreleased tracks that were “made in 2014-2016 /17,” including an alternate version of the single “Love Galore.” Listen to the expanded album below.
Ctrl debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in July 2017 and, as @chartdata notes, it has never left the chart. The LP got nominated for Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 2018 Grammy Awards. In addition, SZA was nominated for Best New Artist, and the record’s “The Weekend” was up for Best R&B Performance, “Supermodel” got a nod for Best R&B Song, and “Love Galore” was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Performance.
