Really surprised by the low ratings for this. Both smoothly palatable and lyrically challenging, 'Z' is a wonder of haze and cast-out childhood memories. Rowe's melodies rarely ever fall flat, and her lyrics are oft-times cutting and intimidating ('I can't remember the last time I took love from anyone called daddy / who's got one anyway? / Not me) SZA, like the best of vocalists, is easily distinguishable with her voice, and pitchfork's remark of a lack of personality is really, really off the mark. Also love how songs split into whole other jams at their former's conclusion. Just impressive all around.
