It is clear that SZA’s “Kill Bill” is dominating the music scene. The song, taken from her long-awaited sophomore album SOS, is now at the top of the Billboard Global 200 chart. This marks her first time ever leading this list, and she is also simultaneously reigning as No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for four weeks in a row. Additionally, in Europe, the track is in the top 5.To make sure the song remains a hit, a new music video was released directed by Christian Breslauer. The video is inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s revenge film of the same name, featuring a cameo by Vivica A. Fox, who played Vernita Green. It is an intense, visually-stunning mix of anime, fantasy, and flesh.
The New Jersey-born singer-songwriter has a deep appreciation for Quentin Tarantino’s works, particularly the original Kill Bill films. She describes them as “blood-and-guts” stories with complex love stories at their core. She particularly commends the characters of Vivica A. Fox and Lucy Liu, as well as Bill, for their complexity and emotion. She states that she was inspired to shoot a music video for “Kill Bill” due to her rewatching of the films.
