The last time we all flipped for an album called Control, Janet Jackson declared her self-emancipation. With her own Ctrl, SZA fulfills the promise of her earlier EPs by tackling romantic drama in the age of Tinder through trap beats and a genre-pushing “alt R&B” sound. Labelmate Kendrick Lamar makes an appearance on “Doves in the Wind”; other songs feature Isaiah Rashad, Travis Scott and James Fauntleroy. But SZA keeps the focus squarely on herself, dropping personal bombs including but not limited to the “Supermodel” revelation: “I been secretly banging your homeboy.”
