2017년 6월 9일 발매된 TDE 소속 아티스트 SZA의 첫 번째 정규 앨범.

20대 흑인 여성으로서 SZA가 사랑, 음악, 인생, 남자를 비롯한 여러 가지 대상들에 대해 솔직하게 느끼는 감정과 개인적인 경험을 다룬 곡들로 이루어져 있다. 제목 'Ctrl' 에서 사랑을 하면서 여러 관계에서 생기는 감정과 상처들을 컨트롤하겠다는 의미를 생각할 수 있다. 기본적으로 R&B를 기반으로 하고 있지만 네오 소울, 트랩, 인디 락 등 장르가 모호한 것이 특징.

호평을 이끌어내지 못한 전작들과는 달리 제 60회 그래미 어워드에서 최우수 신인상, 최우수 어반 컨템포러리 앨범, 최우수 R&B 퍼포먼스,[3] 최우수 R&B 노래,[4] 최우수 랩/송 콜라보레이션[5]의 무려 5개[6] 부문에서 노미네이트 되면서 평단의 인식을 완전히 깨뜨렸다.

[ 펼치기 · 접기 ]: That is my greatest fear
That if, if I lost control
Or did not have control
Things would just, you know
I would be fatal

I'm writing this letter to let you know
I'm really leaving
And, no, I'm not keeping your shit
Heard you got some new homies
Got some new hobbies
Even a new hoe, too
Maybe she can come help you
Maybe she can come lick you
After we're done
What's done is done
I don't want nothing else to do with it
Let me tell you a secret
I been secretly banging your homeboy
While you in Vegas
All up on Valentine's Day?
Why am I so easy to forget like that?
It can't be that easy for you to get like that
Oh, no, she didn't
Ooh, yes, I did
Oh, no, she didn't
I'll do it again
Leave me lonely for prettier women
You know I need too much attention
For shit like that
You know you wrong
For shit like that
I could be your supermodel
If you believe
If you see it in me
See it in me
See it in me
I don't see myself
Why I can't stay alone just by myself?
Wish I was comfortable just with myself
But I need you
But I need you
But I need you
Ooh, just get a load of them
They got chemistry
All they could say
We like brother and sister
Look so good together
Bet they fuckin' for real
And they was right
That's why I stayed with ya
The, the dick was too good
It made me feel good
For temporary love
You was a temporary lover
Leave me lonely for prettier women
You know I need too much attention
For shit like that
You know you wrong
For shit like that
I could be your supermodel
If you believe
If you see it in me
See it in me
See it in me
I don't see myself
Why I can't stay alone just by myself?
Wish I was comfortable just with myself
But I need you
But I need you
But I need you

잔잔하게 연주되는 기타 선율이 인상적인 곡. 헤어진 전남친에게 네가 믿어주기만 했다면 너의 슈퍼모델이 되어 줄 수도 있었다고 (I could be your supermodel, if you believe) 말하는 내용이다.

마지막의 속삭이는 남자 목소리의 주인은 퍼렐 윌리엄스이다.

기타를 독학한 SZA의 친구가 두세 개의 코드를 반복해서 연주했는데 다른 일을 하다가 하루가 끝날 때쯤 그 코드들이 생각이 났다고 한다. 결국 친구에게 다시 연주해 달라고 했고 그게 곡 초반의 기타 전주가 되었다.

두 번째 싱글. 헤어진 남자친구를 향한 갈망과 불편한 재결합에 관한 곡이다. 뮤비 속에서 트래비스 스캇이 살해당하는 이유는 재결합 이후 관계를 정리한 SZA가 사랑보다 자기 자신을 더 우선시하게 되었다는 것을 표현한 것이다.

[ 펼치기 · 접기 ]: Real niggas do not deserve pussy
Meaning it's more, you see right through walls
Ain't talkin' about pussy
Meaning you deserve the whole box of chocolates
Come at me
Forrest Gump had a lot goin' for him
Never without pussy
Y'know, Jenny almost gave it all up for him
Never even pushed for the pussy
Where's Forrest now when you need him?
Talk to me, talk to me
Hey, ayy, hey
Attention, all you niggas
All you bitches
Sit back and relax your mind, just ride, just ride
Sit back and relax, you'll find just why, just why
Sit back, relax, just ease your mind, just ride
You are now watching MADtv
Niggas'll lose they mind for it
Wine for it, dine for it (pussy)
Spend time for it, see no colored line for it (pussy)
Double back handicap and go blind for it (pussy)
Pussy got endless prisoners
Pussy always revengin' her
Pussy is calculating
And good pussy is rather dangerous
Pussy can be so facetious, the heavyweight champ
Pussy is so undefeated, let's amen to that
I mean, the pump fakes on the Facebooks
And the screw face when the bae look
Won't get you no pussy
I mean, the fake chains and the gold names
For insecure, gon' reassure you not to get pussy
You overcompensate too much for the pussy
You like to throw all kinda shade for the pussy
See, that's what pussy niggas do
I know the ways of a pussy, I see pussy lookin' at you
How many niggas get mistaken for clitoris in a day?
How many sentiments you make before runnin' pussy away?
How many times she gotta tell you that dick is disposable?
But if she fuck a young nigga like me, it's over for you
Solána, middle fingers up, speak your truth
You could never trivialize pussy
But a bum nigga like you would try it (pussy)
I know what you really 'bout
High key, your dick is weak, buddy
It's only replaced by a rubber substitute
We ain't feelin' you
Think I caught a vibe, kinda feel a nigga
You could touch the booty if you like, I ain't trippin' on ya
(Such a nice girl, SZA)
I'm really tryna crack off that headboard
And bust it wide open for the right one
'Cause you that one
Yeah, you that one
Like doves in the wind, hey, hey
That pussy, like doves in the wind, hey, hey
Pussy like doves in the wind
I will make you beg for it
I wanna see you call out

We take things, and my influence so far, and then it's out of my hands.
And, y'know, while as I said it can be scary, it can also be a little bit comforting.
Because I've learned that when I get to that point, and I can acknowledge, Okay, Audrey, that's as much as you can do I can actually let it...

앨범의 리드 싱글. 자존감이 낮은 여성의 입장에서 쓴 곡이다. SZA가 VEVO 할로윈 공연에서 이야기한 것에 따르면 고등학교 때 좋아하던 남자애가 파티에 다른 여자애를 데리고 와서 혼자 속상하고 실망해 혼자 대마초를 피우며 시간을 보냈던 자신의 경험을 바탕으로 가사를 썼다고 한다.

드루 배리모어의 영화인 <야성녀 아이비>를 보고 영감을 얻었다고 한다. 드루 배리모어는 지미 팰런 쇼에 나와 SZA에게 고마움을 표현했고 뮤직 비디오에도 카메오로 출연했다!

뮤직비디오 감독은 켄드릭 라마의 HUMBLE.과 카밀라 카베요의 Havana 등을 감독한 것으로 유명한 데이브 메이어스이다.

다섯 번째 싱글. '내가 어떤 사람인지 알아내지 않길, 그러면 너는 나를 절대로 사랑하지 않을 테니까(Hope you never find out who I really am, Cause you'll never love me.)'라는 가사에서 보이듯 연인에게 명성이나 성공에도 불구하고 그저 평범한 사람이라는 것을 상기시켜주길 바라며 끊임 없이 사랑 받고 싶어 하는 심리를 표현한 곡이다.

SZA는 VEVO 할로윈 공연에서 좀 더 나이가 든 자신의 입장에서 쓴 곡이라고 말했다.

하와이의 마우이 섬에서 촬영한 뮤직 비디오는 드레이크의 ' God's Plan', ' Nice For What' 등을 감독한 카레나 에반스가 연출했다. 도널드 글로버와 SZA의 어머니 오드리 로웨(Audrey Rowe)가 출연하는데 SZA와 도널드 글로버는 이브와 아담을 의미한다고 한다. 영상미를 위해 렌즈에 스타킹과 수정을 사용했으며 뮤직비디오는 화면 비율을 적절하게 이용했다는 평가와 함께 좋은 반응을 얻었다.

Give me another hour or two, hour with you
Why you bother me when you know you don't want me (Yeah)
Why you bother me when you know you got a woman? (No; yeah)
Why you hit me when you know you know better? (You know you better not hit on me)

You gots a problem, now it's a problem, oh, no

Dig dirt on bitches, do it for fun

[Verse 3: SZA & Travis Scott]
Give good, but you lie hard and you love 'em
But you stay hard and I love that
So I let you hang it for a bit
Kick it with your friends, get your ego tight
Oh, you faded? Good
Freaky for the night
Shit, it all depend on you
It's been a minute since I wiled out, feelin' wide open (Yeah)
Like why? Why give a bum nigga like three minutes? (True)
Six figures, my name on it
Hide now 'cause you came on it
Hype off a hundred-eighty seconds
That's three minutes, nigga, pipe down
I been looking good, I been feeling nice
Working on my aura (True), cleaning up
Working overtime, you been getting boring so
Skrrt-skrrt, give me room, room
You playin' games and you cancel
Gang-gang and you ain't so
Phone number don't change though

Love, love, love, love
Long as we got
Love, love, love
Long as we got

[Outro: SZA]

Searchin' for you like love
Only thing keepin' me from droppin' you right now
Right now (Love)
Only thing keepin' me by your side (Keep)
Only thing keepin' me by your side now

2022년 6월 9일, Ctrl의 발매 5주년을 기념하여 7곡이 추가로 포함된 디럭스 버전이 발매되었다. 이미 공개된 곡 중 다수가 유튜브 등지에서 떠돌아다니며 유출되었기도 했고, 그동안 앨범을 내지 않고 싱글이나 피처링을 간간히 내면서 활동했기 때문에 많은 팬들이 열광하고 있다. 특히 해당 곡은 기존 버전에서 SZA의 추가 랩 벌스가 추가된 버전으로, 정식으로 발매하지 않아서 팬들의 원성이 자자했던 곡이다.

And now we don't speak at all
Now I regret it all

Still, it was worth it
I would do it again
I know you hurt me, but

How you livin'? Are you doin' fine?
Are you gettin' money? Do you need a ride?
I've been livin' off Adderall for, like, three months straight and I
I've been trippin', I've been gettin' mine
I've been dippin', I've been livin' life
I appreciate the high life
But I just wish things were better between the ones that I love
No, I don't want to try hard
Just don't wanna be, don't wanna be alone

Stuck with just weed and no friends
Weed and my pen
End of the day, it's just trees in the wind
Day in the wind, day in the wind
D-d-day in the wind
Day in the wind, t-t-trees in the wind
Trees in the wind, trees in the wind, trees in the wind

Blow it down and blow it down, pass it down

[Verse 2]
I got a casing, got knocked out
I'm waitin' to see if they'll take me to jail, no
Gee, I kinda hope they lock me up and throw away the key
'Cause I don't wanna go to work this week anyway
Woke up like, "Why me?"
I heard that waist training get you a good boyfriend
I am not searching for one though
Girl, you too pretty, you could do better
Called you a cab in the mornin'
Girl, you know you should've called me
Would've roll it up, could've smoke it up with you
High, high-high, high, high-high
High, high-high, high, high-high, high

Stuck with just weed and no friends (Weed and no)

End of the day, it's just trees in the wind

7. 여담

앨범 트레일러 영상에서 들리는 목소리^{(I’m zoning in with my homegirl, SZA - Self Savior, Zig-Zag-Zig Allah)} 의 주인공은 우탱 클랜의 RZA이다. 덧붙여 SZA는 우탱 클랜의 음악에서 많은 영향을 받았다고 언급한 적이 있다.

2018년 애플 뮤직에서 16번째로 가장 많이 재생된 앨범이다.

오바마 미국 전 대통령이 좋아하는 앨범으로 'Broken Clocks'와 'Go Gina'[7]가 각각 2017년 최고의 트랙, 2019년 여름 플레이리스트에 선정되었다.

곡 작업을 위해 150에서 200 곡 정도를 고르고 있었던 중에 앨범 발매가 계속 지연되자 소속사에서 노래가 담긴 하드 드라이브를 빼앗아 발매했다고 한다. 어느 날 스튜디오에 갔더니 사라져 있었다고(...) 한 달만 더 있었으면 완전히 다른 앨범이 되었을 것이라고 말했다.

자신의 예명인 'SZA'의 알파벳을 따 EP <S>와 <Z> 다음으로 <A>를 발매할 계획이었으나 3년 후 <Ctrl>을 발매했다.

곡에 들어 있는 어머니와 할머니의 skit은 SZA의 가치관을 드러내면서 감정 기복을 조절해 앨범 전체 스토리의 중심을 잡아 주는 역할을 한다. SZA는 그래미 어워드에 어머니, 할머니와 같이 참석하기도 했다.

타 아티스트들의 커버 영상

칼리드의 Love Galore + The Weekend 커버 영상
알레시아 카라의 Drew Barrymore 커버 영상
미겔의 The Weekend 커버 영상
브라이슨 틸러의 Normal Girl 커버 사운드클라우드
프랭크 오션의 The Weekend 커버 영상

솔직하면서도 공감 가는 가사로 젊은 여성들에게 큰 호평을 받았으나 앨범 속의 보편적인 감정은 의도한 것이 아니며 그냥 자신의 개인적인 인생 이야기를 담은 것이라고 말했다. 자신은 이 앨범에 그렇게 정이 가지도 않았는데 모두가 이 앨범을 그렇게까지 좋아하는 걸 보면서 혼란스러움을 느끼기도 했다고 한다.

[Standard] [Deluxe] [3] The Weekend [4] Supermodel [5] Love Galore [6] 여성 아티스트 중에서는 첫 번째로, 성별을 통틀어서 4번째로 가장 많이 노미네이트되었지만 모두 수상에 실패하여 논란이 있었다. 자세한 내용은 그래미 어워드/논란과 비판 문서 참고. [7] 미셸 오바마 공동 선정
