Zara Larsson Unveils 'Midnight Sun,' A 10-Track Love Letter to Sweden

She says the songs show a truer self, closing the gap between her image and her music.

Overview

  • The album was released Friday and features 10 tracks that Larsson co-wrote, following 2024’s Venus.
  • Larsson describes the project as her most personal to date, emphasizing authorship as key to aligning her art with her identity.
  • Touring plans include headlining dates in Europe next month, followed by a North American leg starting in February after recently opening for Tate McRae.
  • She recalls intense pressure after her early mainstream breakthrough that contributed to a multi-year slowdown, a shift she explores through themes of maturity and adulthood, including on “Saturn’s Return.”
  • Early coverage notes high-energy dance-pop with standout introspection on songs like “The Ambition,” as the singer builds on a catalog that includes multiple billion-stream hits and fresh TikTok traction for “Symphony.”
