Zara Larsson on Finding Creative Freedom With Her New Album ‘Venus’: ‘It’s All Over the Place in the Best Way’
Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson explains how she found creative freedom with her fourth album 'Venus.'
For the pop singer, that meant undergoing a few administrative changes in the lead-up to “Venus.” In 2022, the 26-year-old, who internationally broke through in 2017 with her sophomore album “So Good” and the top 20 hit “Never Forget You,” announced the launch of her own record label Sommer House, licensed through Epic USA and distributed by Sony Sweden. She started laying the foundation for “Venus”—a romantically-inclined collection of shellacked, snackable pop gems—shortly after her 2021 pandemic release “Poster Girl.” Initial sessions took place in Los Angeles with Rick Nowels, the acclaimed producer/songwriter who’s collaborated with everyone from Madonna and Lana Del Rey to Dua Lipa and Celine Dion. Since then, Larsson has become something of an international underdog, accruing a legion of fans online drawn to her confessional lyrical approach, bell-ringing vocals and clear adoration for the art of pop music.
