Of all the headlining artists at this year's Glastonbury, the announcement of SZA seemed to cause the most consternation... a significant proportion of Glastonbury-goers had simply never heard of her.
Her last album SOS sold 3m copies in the US and became the longest-running No 1 album by a female artist in the 2020s...largely packed out with screaming, devoted teenage girls, who aren't Glastonbury's main demographic.
Indeed, you could interpret her appearance as Glastonbury playing a long game, sending out a signal to a new generation of potential festival-goers that they feature the kind of artists they want to see.
As R&B divas go, she's impressively eclectic and strikingly eccentric. Her sound hops divertingly around: heavy guitars underpin F2F, Love.
