Solána Imani Rowe or SZA, as we know her, is having one busy November. She turned 33 on the 8th of this month and is working on a secret and somewhat cryptic project we know as "PSA" although she dropped a scorching teaser video on YouTube last week.
The high point of the video is SZA in an NSFW mode, which we will soon talk about, although, she's soon going to be on SNL as well, as a musical guest.
First Up, SZA Wants To Keep Her Inner Child Alive
Just a few hours ago, SZA posted a picture of her as a child, captioning it, "Your therapist believes in you. Everybody believes you can do anything. Because you can. You can do anything. Especially this. I’m proud of you for coming this far ... I know it’s hard but don’t fumble, stand tall mama. Time is now. I love you 🤍 I got you."
Later, she also added, "Healing and protecting my inner child. ill block anyone saying anything weird under this post. Heads up."
Singer Kehlani was quick to add "a cutie tootie" comment and plenty of other positive messages followed:
"Hold her sweetly. Love her truly."
"Inner child work 🤌🏽❤️ more blessings ma."
"It’s a daily pep talk for real! We love you!"

New 'PSA' Teaser Has Her NAKED?
SZA is definitely up to something after her song "Shirt" released last month hit the charts and rose up the ranks. Now, the "Ctrl" singer has dropped a new "official teaser" titled "PSA" and the visuals are enchanting, to say the least.
In the short video, SZA is seen crouching, wearing a bikini, surrounded by a green ring of fire, and the visuals turn even more stunning. Here she is shown on a beach, pouring a glowing liquid all over her naked body and looking like a transcendental being. The video ends with a blip of Morse code, translating to S.O.S.
One of her earlier stories hinted at this being something about the aquatic creatures, as she put up various looks along with the underwater inspiration behind each.
Her look with blue glowing paint is inspired by luminescent jellyfish and somehow, SZA manages to make it look scorching as well!
Fan comments said it all, as one wrote, "Framing this because baby this is art!!!" while another commented, "Can’t even sing the words to Garden no more, the booty is THERE!!"
Another besotted fan wrote, "jaw on the floor" while celebrities like Kelly Rowland, Tammy Hembrow, and Cassandra Fine also responded with various emojis.
Scroll down for the trailer but in the meantime, here's SZA looking red hot in blue on Instagram:

SZA Will Be On SNL As Musical Guest
The first SNL show of December, on the third of the month, will see SZA as the musical guest alongside host Keke Palmer. SZA, 33, shared her disbelief over the news on Instagram, writing, "Can't believe this is happening lmao. I plan on acting a f------ fool. See you soon, New York."
Appreciation followed in the comments as Lizzo wrote, "B**CH IM COMING R U SERIOUS YES YES YES"
SZA, who signed with Top Dawg Entertainment, hasn't released a studio album since 2017's CTRL. She did score five singles in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, including the solo track "I Hate U" in 2021. Plus SZA and Doja Cat's song "Kiss Me More" cinched the Grammy for best pop/duo group performance earlier this year.
But her being on SNL is generating a whole new level of excitement as further comments proved:
"OMGGGG WAIT I WILL FLY TO NYC FOR THIS."
"Make a song with Keke while you’re at it!!!"
"I needed a trigger warning for this."
While you wait for the SNL episode, here's "PSA" by SZA, guaranteed to blow your mind...
