Solána Imani Rowe, known professionally as SZA, is an American singer and songwriter. Rowe was born in St. Louis, Missouri but raised in Maplewood, New Jersey. She released her self-released debut EP, See.SZA.Run in October 2012.
In April 2013, SZA released her S EP to good critical reviews— in July of that same year, it was announced she was signed to Top Dawg Entertainment and began working on her Z EP, which would eventually become a full-fledged album.
On “Low,” SZA literally lowers her voice and “keep it quiet,” while Travis Scott provides some ad-libs, which is fitting given the dark instrumental sound of the track that fits Scott’s style.
