“You have to be authentic, otherwise you’re jamming the flow of the universe with a monkey wrench by creating resistance and uncertainty. Do what you feel, and even if you’re not sure just do it anyway. But do it like you give a f**k.” – SZA
Just when I thought I couldn’t fall more in love with SZA, NYLON had to go and feature her last month in the mag’s beauty issue. In the feature, the 26-year-old singer-songwriter drew me in further with mentions of insight from Erykah Badu, getting her props from Beyoncé, and how black soap and hemp oil attribute to her effortlessly beautiful look.
To top it off, she speaks at length about her authenticity — something that not only endears fans to her, but also plays a huge role in how she creates AND in how she sees and lives life. If there’s one thing I can say about authenticity, it’s that it’s SEXY…and that SZA’s got sex appeal. Can’t wait to hear her upcoming full-length CTRL project.
