Debuts Unreleased Track “DTM” During Grammy Week Performance by SZA

SZA gave fans an exciting surprise this week by debuting her unreleased track “DTM” (Doing Too Much) during an Apple Music Live concert. The performance, held just days before the highly anticipated 2024 Grammy Awards, left audiences buzzing and reignited conversations about her next musical chapter.

Unveiling “DTM”

The sneak peek at “DTM” was a standout moment of the night, captivating fans with its raw emotional depth and showcasing SZA’s trademark vocal range. Clips of the performance quickly circulated on social media, with fans showering praise. One admirer commented, “Vocal range is just wow,” while another emphatically declared, “She deserves Album of the Year.”

Although new to the stage, “DTM” has been teased before. Over the summer of 2023, SZA shared snippets of the track on her social media, building anticipation among her devoted fanbase. In a recent Rolling Stone profile, she confirmed the song’s title and shared that its themes explore moments of vulnerability and introspection.

Battling Against Music Leaks

The excitement around her new music contrasts with SZA’s ongoing struggle to protect her creative work. Last month, she expressed frustration after several of her tracks were leaked online, calling out those responsible on X (formerly Twitter).

“LEAKING MY MUSIC IS STEALING,” she declared in an impassioned post. “THIS IS MY JOB. THIS IS MY LIFE AND MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. YOU ARE A F***ING THIEF, AND I PROMISE TO PUT MAXIMUM ENERGY INTO HOLDING EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW. I AM TIRED.”

The leak saga included her verse on Lil Tjay and 6LACK’s song “Calling My Phone,” which led her to withdraw her participation from the track altogether. This firm stance underscores her commitment to controlling her narrative and the integrity of her art.

A Nostalgic Reunion with Isaiah Rashad

In addition to her solo performances, SZA recently reunited with Isaiah Rashad, a fellow artist from Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), for a heartfelt duet of “Heavenly Father.” The collaboration took place during a Cilvia Demo 10th-anniversary celebration at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.

Reflecting on their shared journey, SZA addressed the audience, saying:
“This was a very special time in our lives. We still lived together, we shared the same bedroom. We argued over toilet paper. I love him; this is my brother.”

The moment highlighted her deep bond with Rashad and her gratitude for the formative experiences that shaped their artistry.

Leading the Grammy Charge

As one of the most recognized artists at this year’s Grammy Awards, SZA enters the ceremony with an impressive nine nominations. Her album SOS is up for the coveted Album of the Year, while her record-breaking singles like “Snooze” and “Kill Bill” continue to dominate the charts and fan playlists alike.

Beyond her nominations, SZA is also slated to perform at the Grammys, a moment that fans are eagerly awaiting. The live event will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, February 4, at 8 p.m. ET.

What’s Next for SZA?

Between her Grammy recognition, emotional collaborations, and teasers of new music like “DTM,” SZA is proving that her creative momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Fans and critics alike are watching closely, anticipating that the next chapter of her career will be as groundbreaking as the last.

With her unique ability to connect deeply with her audience, SZA remains one of the most compelling artists of her generation, continuing to push boundaries while staying true to her authentic voice.
