🎵 SZA and Chappell Roan Tease Collab: 'We Must'

What started as a dream collaboration mention has quickly evolved into a mutual admiration society between two of music's most distinctive voices. Based on recent social media exchanges, here's the latest on the potential SZA-Chappell Roan team-up that has fans buzzing:

It all began when rising pop sensation Chappell Roan named SZA as her dream collaborator during her appearance on the wildly popular "Call Her Daddy" podcast. The "Kill Bill" hitmaker wasted no time responding to the shoutout, taking to Instagram Stories with unmistakable enthusiasm.

SZA admitted she initially couldn't believe the mention until seeing it directly. "Actually didn't believe this quote when I saw it written til I saw it come out her mouth [just] now 'cause DEAD A– SAME," she wrote over a clip from the podcast, adding emphatically, "pls we must," accompanied by sparkle emojis.

This isn't the first time SZA has publicly shown her appreciation for Roan's artistry. Following Roan's standout Lollapalooza performance last summer, SZA shared heartfelt praise on social media, revealing that the "Good Luck, Babe!" singer's work "makes me wanna keep making new music n art forever."

The admiration appears rooted in their shared gift for storytelling through music. During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, SZA specifically named Roan among her favorite contemporary storytellers in music, placing her in the prestigious company of Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, Lola Young, Doechii, and Olivia Rodrigo.

"I think I mentioned that I would love to write with her and build some things together," SZA revealed about her conversation with Swift. "I love her storytelling. She was open to it."

As both artists continue their successful individual trajectories, fans eagerly await confirmation of studio time together. With SZA's R&B innovation and Roan's theatrical pop sensibilities, the potential collaboration promises a fresh sound that could dominate streaming platforms.
