Do you ever watch a music video and say to yourself, "Wow, I'm going to be thinking about that for as long as I live?" That's how I felt after watching SZA's stripped-down video accompaniment for "The Weekend," which was directed by visionary artist Solange. Not only has it given me a new goal for my bucket list (sing the lyrics "drop them drawers, give me what I want" in a latex bra and underwear set in an empty parking garage), but it's also just a really stark, stunning video for an amazing song. No wonder she's one of our best albums of the year picks.
