ZARA LARSSON

QUEER & THE BEAT

Wednesday, 12 April 2023 - 9 minutes

Paris caught up with Zara Larsson chatting about ballet, music, taking baths outside, their love for noodles and flying helicopters!

A bold step forward in sound, visuals and storytelling, her latest single ‘Can’t Tame Her’ also aptly represents the irrepressibly positive attitude that has gotten Zara Larsson to where she is in 2023. A prodigious talent, Larsson provokes and pushes pop culture forward with enlightened and energized anthems that soar and seduce all at once. With every move, she continues to quietly make history and break records: her platinum-certified 2017 full-length, So Good, notably stands out as one of the most-streamed debuts on Spotify by a female artist ever. Zara’s growing catalogue boasts one smash after another, from ‘Never Forget You’, ‘Lush Life’, and ‘Ain’t My Fault’ to anthemic Clean Bandit collaboration ‘Symphony’: along the way, she has received awards and nominations ranging from the Swedish Grammys, BRITS and MTV EMAs to even gracing the stage of the Nobel Peace Prize. 2020’s second international album, Poster Girl, featured breakout hits like ‘Ruin My Life’, ‘Wow’, and saw Zara make further strides towards Pop’s top table. Launched entirely in lockdown, the project nonetheless saw Zara push boundaries, performing virtually for Roblox and hosting a viral live-stream show in partnership with Ikea on International Women’s Day. The last year or so has seen Zara Larsson unleashed, once more, into the real world: she played a sold-out Poster Girl European arena tour, scored a hit collaboration with Alesso (‘Words’ was just named by Billboard one of the best dance records of 2022) whilst dropping a cover of ABBA’s ‘Lay All Your Love On Me’ for Spotify Singles, where Larsson also attended the band’s Voyage premiere.
