Tonight, word spread on the internet that a new SZA album had apparently surfaced on streaming platforms earlier this month. The album turned out to be a leak of older unreleased music. Comethru was uploaded to Apple Music and Spotify on December 4, credited to “Sister Solana,” and released on a label called Scissor. The nine-track record appeared to feature verses from Kendrick Lamar, who was billed as “King Kenny.” SZA confirmed on her Instagram story tonight that the album is a leak.

“These are random scratches from 2015,” she wrote. “Def not new new! But… creative? And scary?” She also promised that new music is on the way; she’s been teasing new music on Instagram this month. TDE president Punch has also released a statement claiming that the tracks are “old songs” that were “stolen and leaked.” “We are currently fixing the issue,” he continued. See the tweet below.

SZA’s last LP was 2017’s CTRL. Recently SZA and Kendrick were shortlisted for a Best Original Song Oscar for their Black Panther track “All the Stars.”
