SZA surprised fans at her BST Hyde Park concert on 29th June 2024, performing a snippet of an unreleased track thought to be titled “Storytime.”
Finally relenting on upcoming album ‘LANA,’ which she says will now comprise entirely new songs and not merely consist of ‘SOS’ outtakes as had been speculated, she asked the audience of 60,000: “New album, you ready?” and later posted a clip on X, captioned: “I know you told stories about me. most of them are awful. All of them are true. Here’s some for u.(sic)”
SZA Preview ‘Storytime’
SZA said the following: “Today was my first day performing with the new set. You’re like my second home. I’ll always come back here. You’re the best crowd. I love you. Goodnight!” She performed in a new botanical bug-themed set for the first time that night.
SZA performed dramatically, whirling with blades attached, dancing on a giant ant, and climbing a huge tree, also one of the scenes that amazed fans at her Glastonbury warm-up show. Running 15 minutes behind schedule and still managing to hurl her way through a set of 28 songs, she performed some of her greatest hits, such as ‘Kiss Me More’, ‘Snooze’, ‘Kill Bill’, and finally, ‘Nobody Gets Me’. She also did a cover of Prince and the Revolution’s 1986 classic ‘Kiss,’ and the audience absolutely loved it.
The night before she was set to headline Glastonbury, SZA rolled out an Avatar-esque sci-fi performance in her venue last night with giant props on stage, theatrical moves, and leaps into the splits. During her performance of ‘Kill Bill,’ SZA sang, “I might kill my ex” as she danced around with a blade before tossing it across the stage.
