‘WOW’ exploded last month on the heels of a sync during a romantic dance sequence between the two main characters in the Netflix Original hit film ‘Work It’ (watch it HERE). In the aftermath, the track vaulted up the charts of both the US Top 40 and Dance Radio, and has amassed over 60 million streams and counting.
Adding to this excitement, Zara linked up with her friend and fellow pop femme fatale Sabrina Carpenter to reup ‘Wow’. After starring in ‘Work It’, Sabrina brings yet another dimension to this anthem. She and Zara lock into a slick and seductive back-and-forth as the track stretches from piano-laden verses towards a swaggering hook, carried by a boisterous horn section and glitchy beats (produced by Marshmello).
Zara Larsson has all the makings of a classic pop star, but in the most contemporary form. Her unshakeable enthusiasm for music saw Larsson land her first number 1 single aged 15, but also feels deeply rooted in the national psyche of Sweden. Zara’s sixth sense for pop melodies have powered a series of chart-bulldozing anthems ever since (including ‘Lush Life’, ‘I Would Like’, ‘Symphony’, ‘Never Forget You’, and ‘Ruin My Life’). Zara Larsson’s ambition, though, only starts with the hits. Few mainstream acts can claim to have performed before the Nobel Prize committee, won an award for feminism from Sweden’s oldest womens’ rights organisation, and led a Durex campaign in association with the HIV charity Red in the same breath as having toured stadiums with Ed Sheeran, or worked with BTS, Ty Dolla$ign and Mura Masa. A budding Gen Z role model, Zara is as fluent in the magic of pop music as she’s likely to speak without filter on love, sex, and online life (sample tweet: “Feminism and man hating are two different things. I support both”).
After a period of writing and recording her second international album, Zara Larsson recently dropped a brand new track ‘Love Me Land’ (and incredible video), written by the powerhouse team of Justin Tranter, Julia Michaels. Watch out for the ‘Wow’ video and much more from Zara coming soon.
