New Jersey-born R&B sensation SZA has unleashed the highly anticipated music video for “Kill Bill”, a track lifted from her sophomore album SOS. The song, which narrates a fictional murder confession, has already made waves in the music industry. This week, it soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, marking SZA’s first leader on the prestigious list. Meanwhile, SOS continues its reign, holding the top spot on the Billboard 200 for four consecutive weeks.
A Cinematic Homage to Tarantino’s Classic
Directed by Christian Breslauer, the music video for “Kill Bill” draws heavy inspiration from Quentin Tarantino’s legendary 2003 revenge film of the same name. The action-packed visual is a blend of anime, fantasy, and raw emotion, elevating the song’s storytelling with striking aesthetics and intense action sequences.
One of the standout moments of the video is the surprise cameo from Vivica A. Fox, who played the fierce Vernita Green in the Kill Bill movies. Her appearance serves as a nostalgic nod to Tarantino’s original masterpiece, further solidifying the connection between SZA’s video and the cult-classic film.
SZA, a known admirer of Tarantino’s work, previously expressed her fascination with the film’s characters and their complex relationships. “I love Vivica A. Fox’s character. I love Lucy Liu’s character. I even love Bill because he’s super complex,” she shared in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. She went on to describe Kill Bill as a unique love story, explaining how Bill’s actions were fueled by his deep emotions for The Bride.
‘Kill Bill’ Dominates the Charts
As “Kill Bill” climbs the charts, its visually stunning video is expected to propel its success even further. The song is also making an impact internationally, securing a Top 5 spot in the UK and gaining momentum worldwide. With SOS already solidifying its place as one of the biggest R&B albums in recent years, this new video cements SZA’s artistic versatility and creative vision.
Fans can now watch the “Kill Bill” music video on SZA’s official YouTube channel, experiencing firsthand the electrifying blend of music, action, and raw emotion that brings her storytelling to life.
