Customer Ratings & Reviews

CTRL is a cinematic sonic adventure of a special kind of legend. One that comes from the most beautiful, bewildering and bountiful experiences...coming of age. SZA bravely shares her experience on her journey in womanhood and youth's endless feeling and illusions flawlessly. The album opens with food for thought from her mother as an opener and close that leads back to the main lesson. What is control. What is control for a woman. What is control for anyone... a façade, a concept or a reality? SZA reveals her conclusions while wielding the peaks and valleys of pleasure, pain and pressure along what has been her journey. Especially, when the burn of love goes left in the stunning self-reflective and strumming 'Supermodel' and sparkling 'Drew Barrymore'. SZA's lyricism throughout the album is unshakeable on the grimy Kendrick assisted 'Doves In The Wind' and frantic pulse of 'Prom'. Her skill at fusing different genres (Alternative Rock, Hip-Hop, Soul and Pop) vibes heightens the highs of the poetry in each track. Her magical voice casts the sweetest spells, when paired with the dashes of dynamic beats. Which pushes the potency of this thoughtful project into a lovely dimension of it's own. The way she addresses the idea of control in love, lust and self-discovery (the impeccable tear-jerker '20 Something' and intergalactic 'Anything') is both breathtaking and life-changing as a music lover. SZA is truly a gift and new legend in music with many treasures to be shared. This BEYOND exquisite album is a INSTANT CLASSIC, buy it now. I promise you won't be able to leave it be!

I pop this CD In in the car & jam the hold ride. SZA really came through. I can’t wait to see what she puts out next. She is so diverse and different.

This new comer has a style of her own. I really love the vibe of this CD. I hope she stay around.

Was so happy with the music and quality. So happy Best Buy still had CDs at the time.

Great value, can always count on Best Buy to have what you need and easy to find

pretty solid cd great voice and i could listen to it without skipping

I only buy physical copies of albums when I either LOVE the artist for years, or if it's a newer artist, I fall in love with the album as a whole, such is the case for SZA's debut full-length, 'Ctrl'. I knew it meant something when I fell in love with EVERY song dropped off the album leading up to the release, and I was right. This has quickly become one of my favorite albums of the year, if not my top favorite for 2017. I can't wait to see (and hear) what SZA does next, and to catch her on tour later this year.

I had been hearing the name SZA, however was not familiar with her or her music. However I was a little familiar with her music. I was hearing songs and not realizing that was her on the track. I saw her on SNL and I thought, "I'd like to get her cd". And she did not disappoint! Love the music and looking forward to what will come next!

Sza's music is cool, upbeat, and easy to relate to! Listening to the album makes me want to see her in concert this summer. Purchased the clean version if you don't want to hear profanity. It's not excessive, but it is there.

This album is an instant classic. As a long time SZA fan, i was anticipating the album and I was far from disappointed!

Pretty good debut. SZA has a good voice and some interesting material. I had heard a lot about this album and saw her on SNL and decided to give it a try. I have to admit I thought it was pretty good but a bit of a letdown after all the hype.

This album is a great rarity I recently discovered her on a recent awards show and was impressed with the production on this project. A personal favorite and classic of mines.

I have been following this NJ native for a while. I have her mixtapes & now I have her debut album! It was well worth the wait!

This is a very nice CD. I feel like she is underrated. If you like good music and just want to sit back and relax. Then purchase this CD. You will not be disappointed.

A new up and comer on the rise already nominated for a Grammy and has backing from Kendrick Lamar and so many others. Give this album a listen, you won’t be disappointed

Sza writing skills are amazing. I'm so ready for her to release her second album. Although this album will never get old for me.

Original, raw & unconventional, SZA vocals make every shower a full blown concert. Sweet with tidbits of promiscuity LP is a def night out w girls only type of vibe

SZA has elevated her skills to another level now! This is a really good album

my daughter loves Sza and found this at BestBuy! Music streaming is good, but we prefer to have CD as well!

This young woman sings her face off. I would defiantly recommend the C.D.. I bought it on sale & I would have paid more. It's that good.
