Fans of SZA have been eagerly awaiting the release of the music video for her track “Snooze,” and the artist certainly knows how to build anticipation. Following the grandeur of her previous hit “Kill Bill,” which featured action-packed sequences and dramatic flair, expectations were soaring for her latest visual endeavor.
Thankfully, the “Snooze” video lives up to the hype. The video takes viewers on a whirlwind journey through various scenes, each portraying SZA with an array of lovers, including unexpected appearances from none other than Justin Bieber, Woody McClain, Young Mazino, and Benny Blanco. The spectrum of emotions and experiences is vividly captured, as the video features heartwarming cuddles, passionate fights, and even a moment where one of her lovers playfully indulges in French fries from an unconventional source.
Notably, the video also features Justin Bieber indulging in another of his well-known pastimes. A cloud of smoke suggests his relaxed state as he enjoys some weed, adding a laid-back vibe to the visual narrative. One intriguing highlight is a scene where SZA seductively interacts with a robot, a concept that had been teased earlier in a promotional clip.
Reflecting on her memorable cameo in the video for “Kill Bill,” Vivica A. Fox shared her surprise at being cast, especially given the iconic nature of the film. Fox revealed that it took a few days for the decision to cast her to be finalized, as there was an initial inclination towards Uma Thurman. However, the casting ultimately made sense on various levels, as SZA and Fox both being African American women added a unique dimension to the collaboration. The connection between the two artists was so strong that it even led to speculation about a potential “Kill Bill 3.“
