It’s safe to say that SZA is excited about being honored at this year’s Songwriters Hall of Fame.
We recently reported that the “Kill Bill” singer will receive the Hal David Starlight Award at the ceremony. She expressed her excitement on her Instagram story.
“This is THE most meaningful thing to me you have NO idea,” she wrote. THANK YOU beyond words for seeing me at all.” She went to thank the legendary Nile Rodgers in another Instagram story post after he said that she is a phenomenal artist.
Rodgers, the Chairman of the SHOF, also said, This is such an exciting time for songwriters and music. Phenomenal artists like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are pushing the envelope of what success looks like but who could argue that the last 2 years belong to SZA. Incredible songwriting, incredible performances, incredible artistry. She so deserves to be the 2024 recipient of the Hal David Starlight Award!”
SZA reflected on her song “Good Days” from her second album SOS and how it is now eligible for seven-time platinum status as reported by the RIAA.
“I remember when I told @thankgod4cody not to jinx me saying we [never] going platinum,” she wrote. “That was 8 years and a few million records ago. God is the greatest.”
Congratulations SZA!
