As with “Kill Bill,” the album as a whole could be torn between R&B and pop, although a Best Progressive R&B Album submission might be the smartest bet, again due to the relative lack of competition thus far (although SZA is win-competitive wherever she submits). For Best R&B Song, SZA’s team could opt for either of those, though “Gone Girl” would have the advantage of being higher on the ballot since songwriting categories are organized in alphabetical order by song title. Alternately, “Gone Girl” could be a Traditional contender, in which case “Snooze” could be submitted to R&B Performance. “Shirt” was a big hit, so she could save that for Best R&B Performance and try submitting “Snooze” to Best Traditional R&B Performance. If SZA opts for “Kill Bill” in pop, then she has a couple of options for R&B. If she wants to maximize nominations, the latter is probably more convenient. SZA does have options for each genre: she could pick the pop radio top-20 hit “Nobody Gets Me” for Best Pop Solo Performance and enter “Kill” to R&B, or she could submit the streaming hit “Snooze” to R&B and let “Kill” compete in pop. But there’s likely to be some debate over whether to submit the song to pop or R&B, as it could potentially fit in either. Not only is it her biggest hit, it’s also acclaimed and will surely be her best bet at a nomination and perhaps a win. It’s almost certain that SZA will submit the single “Kill Bill” to the general categories. So with such a diverse sound, what does this mean for her possible Grammy submissions? That part has been crucial to SZA’s success, as the album easily walks the lines between pop, R&B, hip-hop, and even alternative, making it digestible for most music lovers. It spent 10 weeks atop the Billboard 200 and was acclaimed from the get-go, especially for its versatility. Her sophomore album, “SOS,” debuted in mid-December and has only seen more success in the months since then.
