SZA Talks "Drew Barrymore," Film Inspirations

R&B singer/songwriter opens up about how film is one of her greatest creative inspirations.

Since signing with Top Dawg Entertainment in 2013, the industry has had their eye on the breakout R&B singer/songwriter SZA, doubly so since the release of her debut studio album, Ctrl. Now, in this exclusive Recording Academy interview, SZA opens up about how film inspires her songwriting.

"I wrote 'Drew Barrymore' about … Never Been Kissed because I connected to Josie Grossy, like I am Josie Grossy," says SZA. "Film just really takes me to a weird place where I'm making a soundtrack to a movie I've already seen that already has a soundtrack, but this is what that movie means to me."
