ZARA TO HOST EXCLUSIVE LIVESTREAMED CONCERT ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY (MARCH 8TH)
Multi-platinum pop star Zara Larsson releases her highly anticipated new album Poster Girl. Earlier, Zara kicked off 2021 with the fiercely energetic single “Talk About Love” featuring hip-hop heavyweight Young Thug and produced by Mike Sabath (Lizzo, Meghan Trainor, Jonas Brothers).
No mere ‘Poster Girl’, Zara Larsson is that new kind of pop star. At just 23-years-old, the Stockholm-based sensation has showcased her sixth sense for hit melodies with a series of chart anthems (“Lush Life'', “Never Forget You,” ''I Would Like,” “Symphony” and “Ruin My Life” to name but a few). Her first international album, So Good, became the second most-streamed debut by a female artist ever on Spotify. Its followup, Poster Girl, marks without a doubt her arrival at Pop’s Top Table. Mixing some of the musical loves of her life (the dance floor melodrama of local heroes ABBA, the empowered R&B of early Rihanna) with themes of female empowerment, fame, and finding yourself, Zara has worked on the record alongside a formidable list of collaborators: from Young Thug (on new single “Talk About Love”) and Max Martin to Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter (Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber), Steve Mac (Ed Sheeran, Years & Years) and Camille Purcell (Little Mix, Mabel).
Zara announced she’ll be hosting an exclusive online concert to commemorate International Women’s Day (March 8th), where she will be performing songs from Poster Girl alongside some of her biggest hits. The livestream will air exclusively on Zara’s Youtube for a limited time courtesy of iconic Swedish business Ikea and presented by Live Nation.
