The carnage on this particular Sunday afternoon wasn’t the worst day of bloodshed, just one that upended lives without making headline news.

So too is SZA, who’s called herself a fan and whom Young singles out as a crucial influence on the frankly conversational songwriting that defines Young’s tangy sophomore album, “This Wasn’t Made for You Anyway,” which dropped last summer.

Today, Young’s debut sounds a little too polished; “This Wasn’t Made for You Anyway,” much of which she cut in L.A., has a punky, appealingly ragged quality — think Arctic Monkeys meets Mary J. Blige — that better suits her raspy voice.

For all the mileage she’s gotten out of the album, Young says “This Wasn’t Made for You Anyway” has already started to feel old; she’s more excited about the next record she’s working on, which she’s reluctant to describe in detail other than to say that there’s “sort of a country-ish song on it.”

“Lucky I wasn’t out and about,” one officer wrote in response to a text about Black men robbing someone in Torrance, according to records previously obtained by The Times.
