Zara Larsson Talks New Album 'Midnight Sun,' Crush, Dolphins and ‘Symphony’

Zara joins us on the couch for the who-knows-what-time. The 27-year-old Swedish pop powerhouse has been stopping by to chat for the past nine years and it’s always a joy.This time round she’s in to chat about her newly released fifth record Midnight Sun, her best long player yet. Celebratory, sexy, cheeky, and deliciously honest, we talk about its creation — alongside her longtime collaborator MNEK; largely in Jamaica — and find out the stories behind hits like the drum ‘n’ bass leaning title track, ‘Puss Puss,’ the house-influenced ‘Hot & Sexy,’ ‘Pretty Ugly,’ and how Tiffany Pollard wound up in the studio with her. Plus we discuss the appeal of Y2K, what can happen when you crush on your friend’s man (‘Girl’s Girl’), not to mention her unapologetic ambition and her relationship with dancer boyfriend Lamin. It’s the latest installment in her coming of age. Oh, and she teaches Zach and Dan about TikTok and clues them in on the viral dolphin x ‘Symphony’ moment. You know, from August 2024.Stream "Midnight Sun" ►►https://tinyurl.com/5he4a48kSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
