SZA Opens Up on Spirituality and Connection in Candid Interview

Lititz, PA — During a recent interview, singer SZA shared her insights on spirituality, music, and the power of connection as she prepares for her Grand National Tour. The New Jersey native discussed the themes of her work and her unconventional approach to creativity with fellow artist Chappell Roan.

SZA, known for her raw and emotional lyrics, expressed that her music reflects her deep experiences with heartache, desire, and personal growth. ‘For me, everything is magic,’ she said while discussing her inspiration derived from water and nature. ‘Any moving water has messages for me,’ she added as she reflected on her connection with the ocean, where she often finds solace.

Roan, who admired SZA’s thought process, engaged her in a lighthearted exchange that highlighted their mutual respect. ‘I really like the way you think. If you want to talk about socks for 40 minutes, I will dive into my deepest Rolodex of sock knowledge,’ SZA joked, revealing her eagerness to explore varied topics.

The conversation delved into introspection as they discussed making new friendships amidst their busy lives. SZA revealed that while she loves meeting new people, she finds it challenging to actively seek new friendships. Her connection with long-standing friends often blossomed organically, crystallizing into deep bonds over time.

Moving further into the topic of spirituality, SZA revealed her childhood fascination with myths and the mystical. She recounted how watching shows like ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ fueled her imagination, ‘I was reading about Akashic records at like seven,’ she laughed, acknowledging her unique perspective of the world.

As the conversation progressed, the focus shifted to how fame has impacted SZA’s artistic journey. ‘I always feel like the underdog,’ she admitted, mentioning the insecurities that often accompany massive success. Yet she expressed a desire to harness curiosity to propel her forward.

‘When you’re seen in these tiny vacuums of intense moments, it creates pressure,’ she said. ‘But I’m curious to see where this journey goes.’ Roan resonated with her sentiments, expressing mutual feelings of uncertainty amidst their successes.

In one of the more thought-provoking exchanges, SZA spoke about her evolving spiritual beliefs and how they have changed over time. She recounted initial skepticism toward spiritual practices but later embraced them after experiencing unexplainable events in her life.

‘There’s nothing you can do or say to make you feel so separate from the laws of how this all works,’ she noted, emphasizing respect for various spiritual practices and the idea that intention plays a significant role in manifestation.

As the interview concluded, SZA offered encouragement to those feeling isolated, urging them to embrace their uniqueness. ‘Keep building your world until you get out of the one that you’re trapped in right now. You have a home that you built for yourself, and it might be wonky and crooked, but it will become a home,’ she said.
