Dtieg Larsson

“This is like starting over for me,” Zara Larsson tells Apple music of her third studio album Poster Girl. Released four years after 2017’s So Good—the Swedish singer’s wildly successful second album—it’s a collection of disco-pop ready to raise the 2021 mood. But why the need for that clean slate? “After So Good, I felt a lot of pressure to make something even better, which can hinder you,” she says. “But after so long, it's hard to ride on the wave of that success. This is a fresh start.” The upbeat, dance-friendly production of tracks like “Ruin My Life” and “Right Here” belies more melancholy lyrics, in the great Swedish tradition of sad-banger supremos Robyn and ABBA. “That's my favorite genre,” Larsson says. “I grew up around those artists, but it was only last year that I decided to sit down and have a proper listen to the production and the lyrics. It's mind-blowing how timeless ABBA's melodies are.” Below, let Larsson talk you through Poster Girl, track by track.

The album has been called "a dance record from start to finish, fast-paced and symphonic" with no ballads and "'80s synths and R&B-influenced production". Its lyrical content "explore the best and worst parts of pop music's bread and butter: love". It was also described as "both a break-up album and a loved-up celebration of a new romance", as well as "weaving themes of unrequited devotion and sobering flits of romantic toxicity into near scientifically engineered pop songs".

"So Good" is the second studio album by Swedish singer and songwriter Zara Larsson, and her first released internationally. The release of the album was delayed for unknown reasons other than her claim that changes were made to many of the songs. On Metacritic, the album received a score of 76 out of 100 based on four reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception.

Swedish soprano Lisa Larsson is among the most versatile singers on the European scene, with a repertory stretching from the Baroque to contemporary music. This coherent and innovative program features two cantatas and a song composed by Berlioz between 1828 and 1830. One of the stars of today singing, Lisa Larsson finally approaches French romantic repertoire.

Zara Larsson returns to Sara kulturhus - on December 16 she is back with her intimate performance "Honor The Light". Skellefteå will be one of only two places in Sweden where Zara Larsson will perform and the concert will be followed by an EP and TV broadcast!

The show consists of three acts and will feature new acoustic versions of songs from her impressive catalog, along with classic Christmas carols and guest artists. It's a celebration of light and culture that culminates in the kind of grand pop show that only Zara can deliver.

With its elevated sound, eclectic style and unifying visuals, VENUS verifies Zara Larsson as one of modern pop’s most essential stars.
