About This Track
SZA navigates the arithmetic of desire and timing across 'Joni', a track that moves between self-possession and the pull of connection. Summer fades, money runs dry, and she calculates what she'll give and to whom, her voice pitched between defiance and vulnerability. The song turns on its title phrase: perfect timing, invoked like a spell or a justification, something earned through discipline and wit. She wont settle for anything less than the moment that aligns. Don Toliver enters in the final verse, his tone softer, almost pleading. He's been down and around, ready to commit to repetition, to "many more times". The contrast is deliberate: SZA's precision against his openness, her conditions against his availability. What emerges is a negotiation dressed as seduction, two voices circling the question of whether timing can ever truly be perfect, or whether we simply convince ourselves it is.
"Joni" is a track by SZA, from the album SOS Deluxe: LANA (Bonus Tracks), released 22nd August 2021. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about SZA.

The R&B collaborators link up ahead of his album 'Oh yeah?'.

'Middle of Nowhere' arrives on 1st May through Lost Highway Records.

There’s a pop dungeon where artists live, sometimes for years, where they say, “it’s coming!” about an album that’s in the works (ahem, Rihanna, ahem, Sky Ferreira). SZA did a stint down there after releasing her cult and critical fave debut ‘Ctrl’ in 2017.
A great leap forward from now indisputable pop superstar.

The clip follows SZA as she exacts her revenge on her ex-boyfriend.

A 20 second clip appears to be heavily influenced by the Quentin Tarantino film of the same name.
