Zara Larsson

Zara Larsson, born on December sixteenth, nineteen ninety-seven, is a celebrated Swedish singer, songwriter, actor, and dancer. She first gained national attention in two thousand eight by winning the second season of the Swedish talent show competition, Talang. This early success paved the way for her signing with Ten Music Group in two thousand twelve, leading to the release of her debut extended play, Introducing, in the following year. The EP's lead single, 'Uncover,' achieved remarkable success, reaching number one in Sweden and earning a six times Platinum certification, while also charting in Norway.

Larsson's debut studio album, titled 1, produced several top-ten hits in Sweden, including 'Carry You Home' and 'Rooftop.' In a significant career move, she signed a three-year contract with Epic Records in the United States, which facilitated the release of her international debut album, So Good, in two thousand seventeen. This album not only became her second number-one album in Sweden but also made waves internationally, charting in the top ten across seven countries. The lead single, 'Lush Life,' was a global hit, reaching the top five in eighteen countries and becoming one of the best-selling songs of the 2010s in the United Kingdom.

Following the success of So Good, Larsson collaborated with MNEK on the single 'Never Forget You,' which topped the charts in Sweden, and released 'I Would Like,' which reached number two in the UK. Her collaboration with Clean Bandit on the single 'Symphony' in two thousand seventeen also achieved number one status in the UK and topped the charts in Sweden and Norway. In two thousand twenty-one, she released her third studio album, Poster Girl, featuring the platinum-certified single 'Ruin My Life' in both the US and the UK.

In two thousand twenty-two, Larsson made a pivotal decision to leave TEN Music Group and took ownership of her music catalogue. Her fourth studio album, Venus, was released in two thousand twenty-four under Epic Records and her own label, Sommer House. The following year, her fifth studio album, Midnight Sun, received widespread critical acclaim, with its title track marking her fifth entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number thirty-nine. This track earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Dance Pop Recording. Additionally, her collaboration with PinkPantheress on 'Stateside + Zara Larsson' reached number one on the Billboard Global 200 and number six on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her highest-charting song to date.
