SZA has been resisting calls for a new album for as long as she can. Her praised 2022 album SOS continues to earn nominations even in 2024. Fans are eager for something new, referred to as LANA, and their excitement is palpable. However, some enthusiasm might be a bit excessive at this point. According to Uproxx, the St. Louis artist is set to appear on First We Feast's show Hot Ones, with the episode scheduled to drop on YouTube in a few days, specifically on September 26. While a SZA interview is always significant, her fans seem particularly focused on the promotional image. The preview shared on Instagram shows her with an alien-like appearance, which some find unsettling. This has led to speculation that it could mark the start of the LANA era. Comments from fans include, "OMG THE ERA IS STARTING," expressing their excitement, while others cautiously suggest, "We’re getting that album soon hopefully." SZA even left a mysterious comment saying, "Fun times at the pain farm ❤️," which adds to the intrigue. For now, fans can only speculate, but hopefully, there will be more album news soon.
