The Listening: SZA, Gunna, Boldy James, and More

The year is almost up — but that doesn’t mean that new music releases are stopping.

This week, we've got SZA who, ahem, after some delays, unloaded the deluxe edition of her SOS album. Titled, SOS Deluxe: LANA, it's gone brand new tracks for fans to turn into IG captions for the rest of 2024 and, probably, forever. This week is also quite a notable one for Boldy James, who released not just a new single from a forthcoming collaborative album that’s dropping next month, but also released a new project (that is also a collaboration).

There’s also Peysoh, who has followed up his notable appearance on the title track for Kendrick Lamar’s GNX with his own EP release. There’s also a new single from Gunna, as well as a new EP from Tink.

Each week, Okayplayer will deliver a roundup of all the latest new heat from some of our favorite artists. Check out the latest offerings below.
