The video was directed by Nabil, who co-directed Kendrick Lamar’s “DNA.” video.

“Love Galore” follows SZA’s “Drew Barrymore,” which was released in January. Along with the video, TDE has announced a partnership with RCA records for SZA’s debut album, ‘Ctrl’, expected to be released sometime this summer.

Is SZA Really Leaving The Music Industry?

A month ago, SZA announced his fans on Twitter that she was going to quit music. In the same tweet she also mentioned that she will give permission to Terrence “Punch” Henderson, the co-president of Top Dawg Entertainment, to drop her album “if he ever feels like it.”
Meanwhile, the artist has deleted her tweet, but it seems like she hasn’t changed her mind about the drastic change that she was willing to do in her life. “I’ll probably just do something different, something visual, probably film,” she said in an interview. “I’m really frustrated, and I’m kind of over it. I have a lot of anxiety and there’s a lot going on in my life.”
SZA disclosed that Top Dawg Entertainment has been very supportive regarding her decision and that there are no issues between her and the company. However, we still have a little time to enjoy her music. For now, the singer wants to finish the album and then release it. Afterwards, she wants to “keep an open mind” and consider her career options.
