SZA Reveals Why She Considered Moving To India And Living In An 'Ashram'

Singer SZA revealed that she thought about moving to India and living in an "ashram," or a religious retreat, if her newly dropped album, titled "SOS" didn't work. However, "SOS" seems to be working just fine as it made the singer rank at number #1 artist globally on Spotify.

"I never thought in a million years that people would like it," SZA, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe, told Rolling Stone Music Now podcast Sunday. "My dad's visiting right now, with my mom. Everybody came down to make sure I didn't lose my mind if the album went bad once it came out. And now we're just hanging out, 'cause it didn't go badly!"

The 33-year-old singer went on to explain what made her think that her music album might not go well.

She said, "It happened probably just a few times, like maybe up until the last week, when I texted [my label] and was like, 'We don't have to put this out. We could just pull out and move it to January. We can just let this go.'"

SZA explained she just wanted to get "over with" this album and wanted to meet her "own fate," and also revealed that she even told her music engineer that if this album doesn't do well then, they will move to India and live in an ashram.

"We'll take a vow of silence, and that's it," she said. "And it is also really scary that it didn't go that way because I'm like, now what do I do? And what does this actually mean and when do the tides turn? When does everyone decide that they hate me again or that this s**ks?"

At the end of the interview, SZA admitted that such thoughts are "unhealthy" and she needs to speak with her therapist about it.

"SOS" is SZA's second studio album released on Dec. 9. The album featured 22 music tracks including "Seek & Destroy," "Love Language," "Kill Bill," "Smoking on My Ex Pack" and "Ghost in the Machine."

The music album featured guest vocals from Travis Scott, Phoebe Bridgers and Don Toliver.
