SZA has sounded off on the categorization of her music.

And, per the GRAMMY winner, it’s all related to race.

Full story below…

Speaking in a new interview with Dazed Magazine, tbe superstar said:

“The only reason I’m defined as an R&B artist is because I’m Black. It’s almost a little reductive because it doesn’t allow space to be anything else or try anything else. Justin Bieber is not considered an R&B artist; he is a Pop artist who makes R&B, folk music, or whatever his heart desires.

She continued:

“I simply just want to be allowed the same opportunity to make whatever I want without a label, [without it being] based on the colour of my skin, or the crew that I run with, or the beats that I choose. I want ‘F2F’ to be seen as what it is. I want “Nobody Gets Me” to be seen as what it is. I want ‘Kill Bill’ to be seen as what it is.”

Concluding on the topic, she shared:

“At the same time, it’s nothing to get bent out of shape about, because it’s just how people are processing you. As long as I don’t process myself that way. I don’t necessarily box myself into anything. I’m just trying to make music, trying to vibe out and enjoy the experience.”

With that, what are…
