Music Mondays: "BMF," by SZA Has a Fun Callback to an Old Tune


I am a fan of SZA. You hear about her a lot in Saint Louis as she is a native of the city and it makes me happy we've got some great artists to emerge from here...and Sexyy Red is from here too so I guess you can't win them all. Anyway, I quite like a new song SZA has on her album, "Lana," which is a reissue of, "SOS," with some fresh ditties. The song is, "BMF," but was also known as, "Boy from South Detroit," at one point. I quite like how it incorporates, "The Girl from Ipanema," in its lyricism and sound. "The Girl from Ipanema," is a lovely bossa nova song that has had multiple covers and samplings, and it is always a treat to, "See," it involved in another tune. It isn't my favorite new song on, "Lana," as that would be, "30 for 30," with Kendrick Lamar, but it is a close second! Give it a listen here if you would like--I know I've been playing it a lot.
