"Yet that's finally what happened this year with the title track from Larsson's fifth studio album, "Midnight Sun." A euphoric electro-pop jam about "skinny-dipping with your heart out," it was called one of the songs of the summer by Pitchfork, which described it as "'Ray of Light' via Jersey club by way of Lisa Frank" and said it was "seemingly designed in a lab to short-circuit gay guys' critical thinking.""
"Wearing a sparkly mini-dress and a brightly colored shrug, Larsson - who's also made headlines lately with her vocal support of the Palestinian people - spoke about her career upswing over breakfast on a warm December morning ahead of an appearance at iHeartRadio's annual Jingle Ball concert. "It's so much nicer to be here right now than back home," she says, her blond hair shining in the sun."
Zara Larsson is a 28-year-old Swedish pop singer with a decade-long presence and streaming hits including "Lush Life," "Never Forget You" and "Ruin My Life." The title track from her fifth studio album, "Midnight Sun," is an upbeat electro-pop song praised as a song of the summer and described by Pitchfork with vivid comparisons. "Midnight Sun" secured Larsson her first Grammy nomination in the dance pop recording category. Larsson has drawn attention for public support of the Palestinian people and contrasts Los Angeles' entertainment glamour with Sweden's dark, snowy winters.
