WESLEY PETTYI see some Blonde influence in SZA musically, but mostly in her songwriting.
They both share this unique honest style of writing lyrics that I've only seen from a few artists. It's hard to describe.
their pocketing is very similar

How the streets feeling about this debate

sza on CTRL and Good Day picked up on a ton of frank’s instrumentation tbh
if you listen to her earlier discog it sounds nothing like anything after 2016
I’ve listened to SZA’s earlier work. SZA isn’t influenced by Frank or not much, the sounds aren’t similar nor is the writing. SZA’s biggest influence is Rihanna. Idk how op mentioned Summer walker when she’s biting sza

BmezyMe and my brother debating this in our family groupme. I’m backing Frank.. You can hear Frank’s influence on all these new RnB artists (female included Sza and Summer Walker). His argument is that Damn reached more people in different walks of life and got better sales and more attention from industry.
What say you..
y'all acting like niggas really out here trying to create the next DAMN. even though blonde is a super popular album I don't even think blonde was all that "influential" when compared to albums like SZA's Ctrl or Luv is Rage 2 or T R A P S O U L

Uhhhh this just sounds like a SZA song man
The instrumental doesn’t sound like it could fit right after? they even use the same bongo accents

mrcl_hrnyour brother doesn't understand how people use the word "influential" when referring to music
honestly neither do I most of the time
Feb 24, 2021·7 repliesThey’re both only influential from an aesthetic standpoint, but Blonde moreso
Honestly HUMBLE is more influential than DAMN itself. The simple fart 808 trap style beat today blew up after HUMBLE. Damn near every semi “artsy urban” video or commercial in the last three years is influenced by the visual language of the HUMBLE video. Just some examples:

what we saw on HUMBLE was already happening through Carti and through Future and through all them
would it even be right to say that influencing watered-down generic production is a thing? it’s just the natural progression of an art form in a capitalist world

I hear the influence on SZA’s Good Days, her melodic phrasing in CTRL, Daniel Caesar, Khalid, even Brent like that interlude I posted SZA has spoken how influential Frank is and it was after blonde was released in (2017)
Kendrick even mentioned listening to Blonde while drawing inspiration from DAMN
“ During a trip to New York last August, Lamar and some of his creative posse spent a day listening almost exclusively to Frank Ocean’s Blonde, which had just dropped on iTunes.”
