"Ghost in the Machine" is a song by American singer-songwriter SZA from her second studio album, SOS (2022), featuring guest vocals by singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers. It won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 66th ceremony.
Background
SZA released her debut studio album, Ctrl, in 2017. Primarily an R&B album that deals with themes like heartbreak, it received widespread acclaim for SZA's vocal performance, the musical style, as well as the songwriting. The album brought SZA to mainstream fame, and critics credit it with establishing her status as a major figure in contemporary pop and R&B music and pushing the boundaries of the R&B genre.Шаблон:NoteTag
From April to May 2022, SZA told media outlets that she had recently finished the album in Hawaii and said that it was coming soon.[1] Wanting to experiment with genres she had not yet incorporated in her discography, she envisioned it to be an amalgamation of various disparate musical styles: "a little bit of everything". While some tracks had an "aggressive" sound, certain others were balladic, soft, or heartfelt.[2] Apart from the "traditional" R&B that had been a staple of SZA's past works, the album also contained elements of "acoustic singer-songwriter" music.[3][4]
During the build-up to the album's release, SZA created a list of possible collaborators for the album. The roster included artists like Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar.[5] Of the several more artists she contacted, only three people sent their verses: Don Toliver, Travis Scott, and Phoebe Bridgers.[6] Toliver and Scott appear in the tracks "Used" and "Open Arms",Шаблон:NoteTag respectively, while Bridgers contributed vocals for "Ghost in the Machine".[7][8]
Release and reception
During a Billboard cover story published in November 2022, SZA revealed the album title, as well as the release date which was scheduled sometime the following month.[9] She posted the album's track list on Twitter on December 5, 2022, and SOS was released four days later. Out of 23 songs, "Ghost in the Machine" appears as the 12th track.[10][11] It peaked at number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100,[12] becoming Bridgers' first top 40 song in the United States,[13] and appeared on the national charts in Canada, Australia, and Portugal.Шаблон:NoteTag On the Billboard Global 200, the song peaked at number 52.[14] "Ghost in the Machine" had its live performance debut on March 4, 2023, at the Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of a North American tour in support of SOS. Bridgers appeared as the concert's surprise guest, who joined SZA in performing her verse.[15][16]
