Top Dawg Entertainment singer SZA has confirmed that she’s working on an album with Mark Ronson and Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker.
Suspicions about Ronson and Parker collaborating have been running rampant since they premiered a new song featuring SZA during a DJ set at New York’s Governors Ball Festival.
After the new track sent fans into a frenzy, SZA herself has confirmed the project to the Los Angeles Times, and also took the time to discuss her musical influences.
“People grapple with labelling me as hip-hop, R&B or pop, and it’s interesting to me,”she mused. “I’m just making music. I listen to Stevie Nicks. I love classical jazz. I love folk. I love rap. I love Modest Mouse.
“I’m making an album with Tame Impala and Mark Ronson. When you try to label it, you remove the option for it to be limitless. It diminishes the music.”
The potential project with Ronson and Parker could be the California songstress’ second album in as many years, having released her debut full-length album Ctrl earlier this year, to much acclaim.
Ronson and Parker meanwhile, have been DJ’ing together at several festivals over summer, as working together on Ronson’s tracks ‘Daffodils’, and ‘Summer Breaking’. The pair also produced Lady Gaga’s popular single ‘Perfect Illusion’. Ronson also produced Queens of the Stone Age’s latest LP Villains.
