SZA has extended her North American tour in support of her celebrated new album, SOS.Earlier this year, the singer completed 17 shows for her first-ever arena tour between February and March. Now, she’s plotting her return with 21 additional dates scheduled for this fall.
The R&B star will pick up where she left off on Sept. 20 in Miami and close out the second leg of the tour on Oct. 29 in Phoenix. The new shows include stops in Brooklyn, Toronto, Newark, Houston, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and more.
Tickets for all new shows will go on sale this Friday, April 14 at 12 p.m. local time. Full details are available on SZA’s website.
SZA released SOS on Friday, Dec. 9, five years after the arrival of her celebrated 2017 debut, Ctrl. The 23-track album featured an array of collaborators, including Travis Scott, Don Tolliver, and the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, as well as a cameo from Phoebe Bridgers on “Ghost In the Machine.”
One of the album’s many collaborators was comedian-turned-producer Jay Versace, who helmed the SOS title track and “Smoking on My Ex Pack.” Both songs find SZA rapping with a harder edge, and during Versace’s recent interview with Rolling Stone, the artist poked her head in primarily to get Versace’s Starbucks order, but also to praise the producer, “He’s the coldest. I really, literally, I’ve never wanted to rap or make anything aggressive before Jay came into my life.”
Of getting SZA to “talk her shit,” as he put it, on those songs, Versace said, “I believe that spiritually our ancestors, the people around us, they can use us spiritually for whatever we’re trying to convey. I feel like that’s something that she wanted to do. I feel, even though I was telling her to talk her shit, I feel like that was something that she wanted to do too. I feel like she never really got the chance to really do that.”
