S è il secondo EP della cantautrice statunitense SZA, pubblicato autonomamente, senza il supporto di nessuna casa discografica, il 10 aprile 2013. Dopo aver incontrato i membri dell'etichetta indipendente Top Dawg nel 2012, e rilasciato grazie al loro supporto il suo primo EP See.SZA.Run, dal maggio dell'anno successiva SZA ha iniziato a lavorare al suo nuovo EP. S ha visto la collaborazione di diversi produttori, tra cui Zodiac, Brandun DeShay, WNDRBRD, Waren Vaughn e Felix Snow. Il genere principale dell'album è l'R&B, anche se non mancano alcune sperimentazioni e variazioni rispetto al genere.[1]

Successivamente al suo rilascio, S è stato acclamato dalla critica per le capacità canore della cantante, le musiche e la direzione artistica dell'EP. SZA ha promosso lo sforzo discografico tramite un video musicale del brano Ice.Moon, diretto da Lemar e Dauley.[2]

Antefatti

SZA incontrò i membri dell'etichetta autonoma Top Dawg Entertainment nel 2011, durante la CMJ Music Marathon, grazie all'azienda di abbigliamento del fidanzato che sponsorizzò uno spettacolo a cui avrebbe preso parte Kendrick Lamar. Un amico, che si trovava all'evento con SZA, presentò alcune canzoni della cantante al presidente della Top Dawg Terrence "Punch" Henderson, che apprezzò molto il materiale e si mise immediatamente in contatto con la cantautrice.[3] Il 29 ottobre 2012 SZA ha rilasciato autonomamente il suo primo EP, intitolato See.SZA.Run, che ha potuto contare sulla produzione di Brandun DeShay e APSuperProducer.[4] Nel giugno 2013 la Top Dawg dichiarò l'intenzione di voler scritturare due nuovi artisti,[5][6] annunciando il 14 luglio la scritturazione di SZA.[7]

Registrazione

Nel maggio 2013 SZA dichiarò che stava lavorando con i produttori Holy Other e Emile Haynie, dei quali quest'ultimo aveva già lavorato per delle produzioni discografiche di Lana Del Rey e Kid Cudi. La cantante incontrò Holy Other tramite delle conoscenze comuni e, una volta trovatisi nella stessa stanza, i due iniziarono a lavorare insieme. Allo stesso modo incontrò il produttore Felix Snow, che la aiutò a produrre e realizzare l'album.[8]

Accoglienza

Adam Kivel, della rivista Consequence, giudicò positivamente l'EP. In particolare, apprezzò la direzione artistica e musicale del prodotto, definendolo "fresco e sincero". Riguardo la cantante, il critico ammise che il coraggio di SZA dimostri "quanto lei sia consapevole dei suoi punti di forza ma, allo stesso tempo, anche di aver bisogno di un potenziale per una crescita e maturazione".[1]
