Top Ten 11/23

1. "Sobriety"--SZA

After releasing her third EP, Z , under the tutelage of the Top Dawg Entertainment label, SZA has been on the mainstream radar. Her single, "Sobriety," dropped last Tuesday, and I've had it on replay since. This is not an average break-up song, per se. SZA doesn't overdo it with whiny stabs (at the song's victim), and sticks to clever, funny lyrics: "I been through like six Swishers in one day, with one grape and one blueberry//What would my Mother say? She want me to be married." But don't get me wrong, this song is dark, making the title, "Sobriety," an ironic one. Revealing more about her home life (and parental disapproval) as the song progresses, SZA showcases her inner demons and angst: "Whoa, that Xanax make you trip, I still ain't got no whip//I still ain't got no friends//At least I got my family, bullshit--my daddy still can't stand me."
