SZA Covered Sixpence None The Richer’s ‘Kiss Me’ Beneath The Milky Twilight

Few songs conjure up near-universal instant nostalgia quite like Sixpence None The Richer’s ‘Kiss Me’, thanks to its prevalence in both Dawson’s Creek and She’s All That.

That makes it a pretty standard go-to cover song. Back in 2007, New Found Glory gave the classic a pop-punk twist (nasal vocals and all) on their album of movie soundtrack songs, and now, SZA has entered the ring by belting out the corny lyrics with utter conviction.

Performed at Miami’s III Points Music Festival this past weekend, SZA’s version is pretty faithful to the original, though her voice and the pulsating bass takes it to another level. As does her dance break doing the song’s guitar bridge.

“This song makes me happy as fuck, and makes me wish it was ’98 right now,” she says at the song’s end. Us too — but in the meantime, we’ll have to settle for listening to SZA’s cover (and maybe re-watching She’s All That, too).

Hopefully we get a full recorded rendition at some point to tide us over in the wait for a follow-up to her 2017 breakthrough album Ctrl. SZA’s last release was ‘All The Stars’ with Kendrick Lamar for the Black Panther soundtrack, though fans might have snapped up an ‘album’ of unreleased demos when they briefly leaked onto Spotify and Apple Music last December. In response, she promised new music was coming soon.
