Vitamin String Quartet Share 'Kill Bill' To Announce VSQ Performs SZA

(MPG) Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) announced their forthcoming album VSQ Performs SZA, out June 12 via CMH Label Group/Vitamin Records. The new collection offers thirteen string renditions that translate SZA's emotionally rich, genre-bending catalog into a vibe-forward, cinematic string masterpiece. The announcement comes with VSQ's take on SZA's number-one Billboard charting hit "Kill Bill," alongside a performance video.

"I'm a big fan of SZA so I loved getting to play on this record," says Vitamin String Quartet violinist Wynton Grant. "Her voice on this song is so smooth and sultry, and really laid back in the pocket. So it was fun to try and keep that feeling while playing on an acoustic instrument. It was a challenge, but I think it turned out great!"

"SZA's music is so lush and strong melodically; we knew it would make incredible string music, and it does not disappoint," says Leo Flynn, VSQ Brand Manager and Co-Creative Director at CMH Label Group. "We hope the project gives listeners a new way to hear her work, celebrate how deeply artful it is, and, at the end of the day, give them something they can completely melt away into."

With over 2 billion streams and over 1 million physical units sold, VSQ is "altering the definition of classical music in the public record," according to Slate, with Variety agreeing that they've "reached a mainstream, global audience." The quartet is fresh off high-profile placements in season four of the Netflix and Shondaland original hit series Bridgerton, which featured their iconic reimaginings of Teddy Swims' "Lose Control," Coldplay's "Life In Technicolor," Third Eye Blind's "Never Let You Go" and Paramore's "All I Wanted." They've performed some of their beloved renditions for The TODAY Show, Jam In The Van and FLOOD Magazine.

Across over 300 releases, Vitamin String Quartet have produced cutting-edge string renditions of a highly eclectic mix of artists, erasing boundaries between classical, dance, hip-hop, rock, and pop. From Lil Nas X to Bjork, Studio Ghibli to My Chemical Romance, VSQ approaches their renditions with respect and care, breathing new life into music they already love.

The group has recently been on a prolific creative streak, releasing their vinyl-only compilation VSQ Performs The Weeknd earlier this year, and 2025 releases include VSQ Performs KPop Demon Hunters, VSQ Performs Billie Eilish, VSQ Performs BLACKPINK, VSQ Performs the Hits of 2025, and VSQ Performs Frank Ocean. To date, VSQ has had 11 Billboard charting albums, with their 2024 release VSQ Performs Taylor Swift hitting #1 on both the Classical and Classical Crossover charts.
