'''''Ctrl''''' (pronounced "control") is the debut studio album by American singer [[SZA (singer)|SZA]]. It was released on June 9, 2017, on [[Top Dawg Entertainment]] and [[RCA Records]].<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2017/06/08/sza-ctrl-album-stream|title=STREAM SZA'S DEBUT ALBUM 'CTRL'|magazine=[[Rap-Up]]}}</ref> It features guest appearances from [[Travis Scott]], [[Kendrick Lamar]], [[James Fauntleroy]], and [[Isaiah Rashad]]. Originally scheduled for release in late 2015, it was delayed by SZA's experience of "a kind of blinding paralysis brought on by anxiety." She worked and reworked the album until the record company took away her hard drive in the spring of 2017.<ref name="guardian record company took hard drive">{{cite news|last1=Nicholson|first1=Rebecca|title=SZA: ‘The record company took my hard drive from me’|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jul/29/sza-record-company-took-my-hard-drive-beyonce-kendrick-lamar|accessdate=5 January 2018|work=The Guardian|date=July 29, 2017}}</ref>
 
SZA wrote most of the album's lyrics and collaborated with producers including [[Best Kept Secret (production team)|Craig Balmoris]], [[Frank Dukes]], Carter Lang, Scum and ThankGod4Cody to achieve its sound. The efforts resulted in a primarily neo-soul and R&B album, with elements of hip-hop, electronic, indie and soul. Lyrically the album has a confessional theme, which touch upon SZA's personal experiences and complexities of modern love; including desire, competition, jealousy, sexual politics, social media, and low self-esteem.
== Պատմություն ==
Մասոնականությունը [[Բելգիա]]<nowiki/>յում հայտնվել է այն ժամանակ, երբ տարածաշրջանը գտնվում էր [[Ավստրիա]]<nowiki/>յի տիրապետության տակ, ավելի ուշ ընկել է ֆրանսիական և նեդերլանդական մասոնականության ազդեցության տակ։ Երբ Բելգիան ձևավորվեց որպես անկախ պետություն (1830 թվական), 3 տարի անց ձևավորվեց Բելգիայի Մեծ Արևելքը։ Այդ պահից սկսվել է բելգիական մասոնականության պատմությունը։
 
''Ctrl'' was released to acclaim from music critics. It debuted at number three on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], moving 60,000 equivalent-album units in its first full-tracking week. It generated the singles "Drew Barrymore", "[[Love Galore]]", "[[The Weekend (SZA song)|The Weekend]]", and "[[Broken Clocks]]". As of October 2020, the album has been certified 2x [[RIAA Certification|platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] for accumulating over 2,000,000 in album-equivalent units and pure sales.<ref name="SZA Goes triple Platinum"/> The album and its songs were nominated for four [[Grammy Award]]s, while SZA was nominated for [[Grammy Award for Best New Artist|Best New Artist]].

Speaking on the conception of the album, SZA stated that she had spent four years just doing music: "I’ve been burying friends, burying family members, burying weight, the way I feel about myself, the way I feel about God, the way I process information."<ref name="rap-up.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2017/06/08/sza-breakfast-club-interview/|title=SZA Talks 'Ctrl' Concept, TDE Support on 'The Breakfast Club'|publisher=}}</ref>
The album was also inspired by SZA's view of control in her life. Speaking on this she stated "''Ctrl'' is a concept. I’ve lacked control my whole life and I think I’ve craved it my whole life."<ref name="rap-up.com" />

The album's sessions began in 2014 and took place at the TDE Red Room in [[Carson, California]]. The album's recording process was described as being analog and featured the unplugging and re-plugging of wires in order to create the desired sound.
During the album's studio sessions, SZA and the album's producers would go into the studio, and filter through the recorded songs and beats to decide if the songs were good or worth experimenting with in order to make better. SZA would search songs that were in the top forty charts during various years including the 1940s and 1980s, she would then listen to their style, beats and synths to gain some inspiration.<ref name="rollingstone.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/sza-breakout-rb-star-conquers-self-doubt-and-takes-ctrl-w487994|title=SZA: How the Breakout R&B Star Conquered Self-Doubt and Took 'Ctrl'|publisher=}}</ref> Throughout the album's recording process, record producer [[Rick Rubin]] helped SZA's creative process. "I had this mentality that 'more is more' -- more reverb, more background [vocals]," stating "I played him a bunch of songs, and he would tell me, 'The more you take away from any piece, the more room you create for everything else to be beautiful and grow.' I never felt that before, the editing urge. Once you strip everything down, you're forced to say something."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7775679/sza-love-galore-travis-scott-new-song-listen|title=SZA Refuses to Get Played on 'Love Galore' Featuring Travis Scott|publisher=}}</ref>
 
In 2015, SZA was introduced to Carter Lang, by Peter Cottontale in Chicago. After performing together at Lollapalooza that same year, SZA and Lang along with producer Tyron "Scum" Donaldson began to develop a rapport on the road to creating her debut album. The three held studio sessions across the country from Los Angeles to Chicago and even setting up shop in Carter's Michigan home in 2016, where they constructed the Travis Scott-assisted, "Love Galore", in Lang's Mom's office using studio equipment he brought there. Lang, Tyron Donaldson, ThankGod4Cody and other producers would challenge each other and send each other different music to work on. SZA would then hear the music and want to create off of that. During the producers' competition of who could create the better song, they collectively created "Broken Clocks". "Drew Barrymore" was conceived at Lang's studio in Chicago in 2016, while SZA was sleeping. Lang ended up notching production credits on eight tracks from the album.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8078602/carter-lang-interview-ctrl-sza-vic-mensa|title=Carter Lang Talks Crafting 'CTRL' With SZA, Working With Vic Mensa & Why Chicago Keeps Winning|website=billboard.com}}</ref>

SZA contributed heavily to the album's lyrics co-writing all fourteen tracks. SZA would freestyle the songs in a hope to "let the moments happen in the studio."<ref name="mtv_3019491"/> Initially she tried to record phone notes and write down ideas in journals in order to help her write.<ref name="mtv_3019491"/> SZA's record label TDE confiscated her hard drive during the album's recording, because SZA could not decide on the songs she wanted on the finished album, from the 150 – 200 she recorded.<ref name="hnhh">{{cite web|url=http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/sza-record-company-took-my-hard-drive-from-me-news.35652.html|title=SZA: Record Company "Took My Hard Drive From Me"|publisher=}}</ref> She also detailed how her [[anxiety]] issues affected her songwriting process: "I [[Freestyle rap|freestyle]] everything, all the way down.

When recording the album, SZA would record from drafts of paper, recording one draft all the way down, before listening back and rephrasing it.
=== Բելգիայի Մեծ օթյակը ===
However, with the album's opening track "Supermodel", SZA took on a different approach stating. With other songs from the album SZA would often hear the beat and see "an idea unfold", however when SZA heard 'Supermodel', she couldn't even imagine what the song would sound stating "I just wanted. I just wanted to sing. I wanted to think."<ref name="rollingstone.com" /> SZA recorded "Drew Barrymore" after hearing a production that reminded her of the film ''[[Poison Ivy (1992 film)|Poison Ivy]]'', noting the emotion Ivy felt in film was something SZA connected with stating her character was "lashing out because she was lonely and pissed that her life was like this".<ref name="rollingstone.com" />

"The Weekend" was produced by ThankGod4Cody who was given the idea to sample "Set the Mood (Prelude)/[[Until the End of Time (Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé song)|Until the End of Time]]" from a member of his team. After being handed the sample he added chords, a "glittery layer" and bass. After some experimentation with the vocals from the sample, the drums, and some additions in the reverb, he placed the song's [[Snare drum|snares]] and [[hi-hat]]s, and rounded it all out with a [[cymbal]], as he told the website [[Genius (website)|Genius]]. The production was made with SZA in mind.<ref name="genius"/> SZA said about the sample in an interview with [[Associated Press]], "I didn't even think about anything I was saying.
