[Zara Larsson] 'Cause she's So Good! / 1st thread

I was surprised to see that she didn't had her own thread, so.. there we go



zara who?

Spoiler:


Zara Maria Larsson; born 16 December 1997, is a Swedish singer and songwriter. She first gained national fame for winning the 2008 season of the talent show Talang, the Swedish version of Got Talent, at the age of 10. Larsson signed with the record label TEN Music Group in 2012 and released her debut EP album, "Introducing", in January 2013. The single "Uncover" topped the charts in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. By February 2013, "Uncover" was certified platinum by Universal Music Sweden. In July 2013, "Introducing" was certified triple platinum in the country. Larsson also signed a three-year contract with Epic Records in the United States in April 2013. She performed at the opening and closing ceremonies in France for UEFA Euro 2016.

Larsson's debut international album, "So Good" was released on 17 March 2017 and debuted at number 7 on the UK Albums Chart. It produced six singles, including "Lush Life", "Never Forget You", "Ain't My Fault", "I Would Like" and "Symphony". All of the album's singles (except for the title track) reached top 15 in the UK. "Never Forget You" peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Larsson and MNEK their first entries on the chart.

‣ Photoshoots






















Even though sometimes I don't like the direction her music is taking, I gotta admit she has potential, a great voice, attitude, confidence, beauty, charisma and willing. There are performances, photoshoots and interviews from her everywhere; I feel like her peak is about to come, and being present in such a moment is always amazing. I'd have loved being a fan during ayu's, so seeing her grow and evolve in the way she wants is exciting at least.

She has a lot of energy on stage (I actually get ayu vibes from time to time), amazing vocals, and I think she can be an awesome performer one day. I'm not a fan of her dancing tbh (makes me cringe everytime she tries lol), but with some more experience and training she could be actually good at it imo.

So what do you guys think? Maybe the americans are sick of her by now. In Spain we get news from her, but very ocassionally. And btw, my favourite song from her is obviously Lush Life

PS: I always thought that she would do an awesome job collaborating with koda!

I like Zara and I am happy she still releases stuff. Most newcomers are gone forever after two or three hits. I predict her career will flow like Rita Oras and Bebe Rexhas. Fingers crossed for another hit. So Good is good for like... 4 plays.

SKYia, your student did really well! She's soo cute

snowo, TG4M and Don't Let Me Be Yours grew on me (the second one basically thanks to the spot with nike!). Can't say the same about One Mississippi, tho..

Exactly, xLuna&1LOVE, I was afraid that she would be just another one hit wonder, but she prove me wrong and I'm happy she did it. I expected more from the album honestly, but I take it as what it probably is; a transitioning album where she's starting to define herself and experiment a little bit. Singles are the best songs out of the album imo, the rest of the tracks sound a bit weak in comparison, but that may also be because of all of the promotion they got. Let's see what's next!

She performed yesterday at the MTV Movie & TV Awards. This time she chose a mashup of Don’t Let Me Be Yours and Ed Sheeran's Shape of You, which already performed before on some other shows.


OMG her voice sounds really weak I guess she must be tired after all the promotion and shows with Clean Bandit..
And lol at those pants, they're soooo ayuish!

Plus, there's a new interview. This time for B-Sides On Air Tv.

I gave the album a try and found it to be really boring :/ The only song I enjoyed was Never Forget You and I already loved that song before the album came out.

I do like the song she did with David Guetta. She has potential. Just needs to find an identity.

Exactly, that's the stage where she is now; but she grew so much in just one year that everything she releases from now on is really promising at least.

Btw, she just released a new PV: Don't Let Me Be Yours.

She looks beautiful and the story is cute, but nothing really happens lol

She seems to be getting along with Camila Cabello! I think a duet could be actually interesting.



Plus, her collaboration with H&M is finally out and there's a new promotional video about it

There was an event in Tokyo: 'Zara Larsson x H&M' Music Night Live at the H&M Shibuya Store, where she performed some songs as well (Never Forget You, Ain't My Fault, What They Say, So Good and Lush Life)

I'm from Spain too and I think she has promotion here on the radio the last year with Lush Life and the others singles. I bought the album on amazon since I didn't find it in the stores here and have to arrive yet but I'm excited to listen the CD on my music equipment. I like her voice and the music more than her image but if she comes here on tour maybe I will go if it's not too far.
