BuzzJack Music Forum _ Pop _ Zara Larsson - So Good

Posted by: Ryan. 5th January 2016, 08:33 PM



Swedish popstar Zara Larsson has confirmed that the expected release date of her first international studio album is March 2016. She claims it will feature mostly new songs, however "3 or 4 songs" from '1' (her first full length album in Scandinavia) may make the track listing - I would presume 'Rooftop', 'Uncover', 'Carry You Home' and 'Weak Heart' are most likely.

Yaaaay, can she please release Bad Boys globally?

Posted by: Dan_ 9th January 2016, 09:52 AM

Never Forget You and Lush Life are serious tunes so I think I may check this album out. She deserves to be big

Coming in June.

She's not sure if she's going to release another single before the album! If I was Zara I would have dropped the album within the next two weeks, I've got no idea why she's not put up a pre-order for the album yet.


Posted by: LeeWallace 14th April 2016, 01:38 AM

So 'Never Forget You' was performed on both the Today Show and Fallon in America which has helped it re-climb to #10 on USA iTunes. Thankfully radio seem to be supporting 'Never Forget You' and streaming is helping the song progress nicely, I'm guessing top 10 in the USA is looking likely which should help for the third re-release of 'Lush Life'.

QUOTE
Larsson’s upcoming album, dropping in June, doesn’t have a title yet, but the pop star tells EW it will include even more tracks co-written and produced by MNEK, and that a collaboration with (also Swedish) hitmaker Max Martin is in the works. Larsson dishes more on meeting her celebrity obsession Beyoncé for the first time (she cried) and why Sweden does pop music better in the interview below.

What are those songs like?
[They’re]more dancey, but also more chill. [There’s] even a mid-tempo, slow song. He’s still got that MNEK sound.

It’s so distinct, like ’90s house mixed with modern EDM. Why do you think your style meshes so well with his?
I think we just vibe really well on a personal level. We’re not afraid to speak our minds, and when people are not afraid to speak their mind, that’s when you create magic. We don’t really criticize each other; we just let each other flow.

You also have some sessions with Max Martin coming up, right?
I’m hopefully going to work with him when I come back to L.A. When I was there, he was like, “Frankly, I don’t really have the time for you right now” because he was finishing up Ariana [Grande]’s album and finishing up a few songs from The Weeknd’s album, which I respect, because he was like, “I want to give you my full attention, and if I have other projects I’m thinking about, I can’t do that. I don’t want to run in and out of the session — five minutes here, five minutes there — just to put my name on it.” He’s super sweet.

Are there any other producers or tracks or album title?
That’s the last thing I’m going to decide. Producers — I’m so bad at that as well. I don’t really know a lot of producers. I’m just into Beyoncé. If I get a nice vibe from [a producer], I don’t really care if they‘ve done blah blah blah. If they don’t give a nice vibe, I absolutely don’t care if they’ve done 20 number ones, so it’s mostly about the person. I think I work with a lot of producers who might be the next big thing. I love The Monsters and the Strangerz from Miami. Everyone I’m working with is great; [they’re all like] “Oh, I produced ‘Sorry’ for Justin Bieber” or “I produced three tracks on the Rihanna album.”

I do pop. Pop is everything from The Weeknd to Taylor Swift to Beyoncé to Rihanna, [and my album is] a good mix of everything. There are some very soulful songs on there, but also electric dance songs, and also pure pop, darker songs with a trap vibe.

When’s it out?
June. I know that!

I don't like Never Forget You AT ALL but I'm in love with Lush Life. I can't wait for it to smash here.

Posted by: LeeWallace 16th April 2016, 04:13 AM

Why though?

It's not as if Lush Life is falling down the chart? It's still doing incredibly well on AirPlay. I think we will get the new single in May.

she will be more than fine, after the mnek duet, the success of 'lush life' and that timid feature she has the luxury of taking more time and actually can afford to.

also the delay seeks to suggest they're looking for her to record something now to really make her name, no wonder max martin has been roped in...

Yeah the Guetta collab has been a total bomb so new solo material would be lovely!

Posted by: LushLife 30th June 2016, 02:41 AM

It's not been a total bomb? It's managed to go too 20 in the UK and went #1 around Europe (France, Germany etc) and they have the closing ceremony performance.

I'm talking about its UK success - I'm sure her label thought it would have been a huge summer anthem considering how well Lush Life has done and how well her collab with Tinie did. Instead it limps around in the top 20 and is plummeting on iTunes.

Posted by: LushLife 30th June 2016, 04:59 PM

I'm sure her label will look at the bigger picture and be delighted that she's managed to get her first French and German number one, this song has helped her get her name out further, maybe #16 is a disappointing peak but at least it's successfully managed to peak in the top twenty.

Posted by: BASTILLEmdh 30th June 2016, 06:17 PM

Top twenty for a song that was never really meant for radio and anything outside the Euro's is great.

That's actually a smart move. "Lush Life" has only recently been sent to US radio. It's starting to gain traction there but looks as if it may take a little while to climb. Should be peaking around September time I would think, perfect time to release the album. Hopefully there'll be an international single released while "Lush Life" climbs in the US.

Posted by: leewallace 23rd September 2016, 03:46 PM

So almost all of the album titles have been released if we're judging by recent interviews and live performances.

1. Lush Life
2. Never Forget You
3. Mississipi
4. Funeral
5. Wanna
6. Permission
7. Ain't My Fault
8. So Good (Feat Ty Dolla Sign)
9. Sundown (Feat Wizkid)
10. What The Say
11. Walk Away

I'm guessing 'Girls Like' will make the UK album with the possibility of 'This One For You'.

Posted by: Cameron 23rd September 2016, 04:08 PM

Very excited and very ready for this!

Posted by: leewallace 16th October 2016, 02:00 PM

So Zara has confirmed the album will be released before the end of the year, I'm not sure that it's the best idea considering 'Ain't My Fault' hasn't performed as well as everybody has expected and I can see the album being lost in the Christmas market unless she has an incredible amount of promotion lined up.

UK iTunes
17. Zara Larsson - 'Ain't My Fault'
133. Zara Larsson - Lush Life
234. Tinie Tempah Feat Zara Larsson - Girls Like
413. MNEK & Zara Larsson - Never Forget You
499. Zara Larsson & Lil Yatchy - Ain't My Fault
964. David Guetta Feat Zara Larsson - This One's For You
1288. Zara Larsson - Lush Life

USA iTunes.
189. Zara Larsson - Ain't My Fault
317. Zara Larsson & MNEK - Never Forget You
573. Tinie Tempah Feat Zara Larsson - Girls Like
901. Zara Larsson - Lush Life

Posted by: Ryan. 16th October 2016, 02:31 PM

Ain't My Fault has done decently, but I was expecting it to be a little bigger. If I were Zara I'd be releasing a new song first week of January 2017 and then the album can follow in March - she would easily get worldwide top 5s in Q1.

Posted by: liamk97 19th October 2016, 11:15 AM

Even if 'Ain't My Fault' had been bigger, I'd really question releasing her debut album so close to Christmas. She's been successful but I don't think she's established enough to manage not being lost in the November/December releases. Releasing in Q1 next year would be much better, although I suppose, if she has a hit next year, that could always allow the album to rise from its debut and it'll be a success anyway?

I really hope with her delaying the album, it doesn't mean 'Ain't My Fault' won't be on the album or at least "bonus track"! sad.gif Argh. It infuriates me so much that it hasn't become quite the huge top 5 hit it should've been, but I hope it'll have good legs and a healthy chart life!

Zara teased that she was going to shoot the music video for her next single last week. There's not any information about this, but looks like it will be "So Good", the track which features Ty Dolla $ign.

Zara Confirmed the name of her new album on Texas-based radio station AMP 103.7

It's called 'So Good'

Confirming the album's title, Zara said:

"So Good. I hate coming up with titles for things because it's hard - you're supposed to take all of these songs and kinda summarise it in one word and I just thought So Good was easy because the album is so good"

The release is still unknown dry.gif

Posted by: Juliano 1st February 2017, 04:29 PM

Kind of hoping it has like 16 tracks or something, considering if they got for a standard 11 track album, half of the album has been released already, plus we've all head Wanna, Permission and Mississippi.

Posted by: Cameron 1st February 2017, 09:24 PM

The link given is http://nonorderly.com/news/the-zara-larsson-lp-has-been-re-postponed-but-here-are-some-updates/ but I think it's been misinterpreted. She doesn't actually say that the songs released as singles are not appearing on the album, she says "I'm not releasing all the songs you've heard me sing live" which would suggest some will appear. I think 'Lush Life' and 'I Would Like' will appear on the album and 'Never Forget You' (as it was pushed as an MNEK song) and 'Ain't My Fault' (due to its comparitive under-success) won't.

Only in the UK it was, everywhere else Zara had the lead credit so I doubt they'd take that off the album for that.

I personally hate when singles get left off the album just because they "under-perform" too (Ain't My Fault was a success despite not being half as big as LL/NFY) so hopefully that and IWL are put on the album.

Well that is good news! I agree that there's not any legit reason to leave off any of the singles but it's easy to see why one would suspect not all would be included when it seems to be the 'in-thing' to do so.

Clearly, Zara's tweet was saying that the songs she's performed live are a mix of songs chosen for the album and songs left off (presumably performed to see what got the best receptions).

Based upon first impression!

06/10 What They Say [This seems like an album closer rather than an album opener, it's a cute song with nice lyrics]
11/10 Lush Life
09/10 I Would Like
07/10 So Good (feat. Ty Dolla $ign) [Arguably one of the worst songs on the album, incredibly surprised this was chosen as a single considering the other options]
06/10 Too Good For Me
06/10 Only You
10/10 Never Forget You (with MNEK) [Still an absolute bop]
08/10 Sundown (feat. Wizkid) Wizkid ruins this completely, I can see this being a minor summer smash.
06/10 Don't Let Me Be Yours
08/10 Make That Money [Wasnt anywhere near as cringe as what I thought it would be, it's a good album song and you can tell the Beyoncé influence]
10/10 Ain't My Fault [Frustrates me how under appreciated this actually was, it still sounds incredibly unique and fresh every time I listen]
09/10 One Mississippi [Oh this is actually beautiful, I wasn't a fan based on live performances but I really loved the studio version]
09/10 Funeral [Eventually hearing this! It's f***ing amazing]
09/10 I Can't Fall In Love Without You [This will be the next single following Symphony and will be released with Ed Sheeran. It's actually a beautiful ballad, although the lyrics will have to be changed]
10/10 Symphony (with Clean Bandit) YES! It's just a shame that she's being listed as a feature, I'm guessing when she promotes the album in the U.K she will promote So Good because it's weird to launch an album as a feature?

I love the album, but I don't see how Permission/Wanna/Push Pull didn't make it! They are all better than a lot of the tracks. TG4M, I Can't Fall In Love Without You and Symphonies are the highlights for me. All singles, Sundown and Funeral also top.

Posted by: Juliano 13th March 2017, 01:15 AM

Posted by: CountOmar 13th March 2017, 02:49 AM

Posted by: CountOmar 13th March 2017, 02:51 AM

Ain't any Fault still hasn't aged for me! It still sounds fresh and I go back to it quite regularly! It's much better than i Would Like and would have been the perfect album opener (those alarm bells would have been iconic).

I still think I can't fall in love with you will be re-released with Ed Sheeran though.

I Would Like being performed on X Factor and then being discounted to 59p on gift card week helped a lot.

It would have went top 3 anyway without the 59p discount, it was comfortably at #2 on iTunes before the 59p!

Posted by: mr_pmt 13th March 2017, 12:01 PM

I gave this a listen and it's SUCH a disappointment, after spending about a year looking forward to this. They've delayed and amended it so much, released all the best stuff already (title track not withstanding) and left us with nothing to look forward to. sad.gif 'Wanna' being left off is a bit if an insult.

I think she is pretty fantastic and definitely has the full package, but musically she's ended up being totally directionless and having no identity... literally just throwing whatever at a wall and seeing what sticks.

Hopefully next time will be different.

Despite being underwhelmed, it's her first album and she's testing what genre she wants to focus on, it's a much better debut than over 80% of the big female pop stars.

Hear hear, TG4M would have performed much better than So Good. Here's me hoping it is a single, however I feel like she should just start releasing for the next album already. tongue.gif

EDIT: By it's performance on iTunes, I should imagine if there is a next single it will probably be Don't Let Me Be Yours, it's even making some sort of impact in the US.

That's because Ed Sheeran co-wrote it.

I still need to hear this album but I'm absolutely LOVING TG4M, would've made a great single instead of So Good to shift her sound a bit more down-tempo but keeping her in the current pop/dance lane and fully establishing her sound and place in the market.

Mine is Funeral but What They Say is close too!

Posted by: buzz_person 18th March 2017, 09:51 PM

Listened to her album a few times now. Overall, I like the album but not as much as 1. My favourite track of the album is TG4M. dance.gif dance.gif It's on constant repeat!! My other favourites are Sundown, Only You, Symphony and Don't Let Me Be Yours.

Posted by: Josh. 18th March 2017, 10:50 PM

To say I'm disappointed with this would be an understatement, she's had a single run to rival the pop greats and every single so far has been an 11/10 (including Symphony!) but every other track on the album is either dull, tuneless or just embarrassingly bad in my opinion. I was hoping to find at least one gem on here but they must have just released all the great songs already and then barfed out the rest in a couple of days with a cheap budget. A bit gutted because she had been so promising but it seems to be kind of popular on here so maybe it's just me sad.gif

Posted by: Davidson 18th March 2017, 11:28 PM

First listen rate:

08.0 What They Say
10.0 Lush Life
08.0 I Would Like
03.0 So Good (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)
06.0 TG4M
05.0 Only You
10.0 Never Forget You (feat. MNEK)
07.5 Sundown (feat. Wizkid)
07.0 Don't Let Me Be Yours
06.0 Make That Money Girl
11.0 Ain't My Fault
09.0 One Mississippi
08.5 Funeral
07.0 I Can't Fall in Love Without You
09.0 Symphony (feat. Clean Bandit)

You guys are doing too much on this album. I've heard really bad comments everywhere but it really is pretty decent. Sure the singles are best moments (apart from 'So Bad' which is worst song on here) but there really are some very decent tracks on here. 'One Mississippi', 'Funeral', 'Sundown' and 'What They Say' are my favourites. All have the chance to grow as well.

Posted by: JosephSharman 20th March 2017, 03:52 PM

Yup this album is continuing to grow on me like mad wub.gif What They Say and Sundown are my least favourites but neither are particularly bad, Sundown in particular has potential but the Wizkid parts don't really work. Still not sure there's many potential singles though, I'd say TG4M or Funeral should be next, perhaps with a new single mix.

Posted by: Tinasha 20th March 2017, 03:58 PM

I'd say it's as good as Little Mix's Glory Days. But the thing is, Glory Days was released when we'd only heard one single. If we all heard Glory Days after already having releases for SOTME, Touch, No More Sad Songs, Oops and Power, the "rest of the album" reveal would feel very underwhelming, because we've already heard the huge highlights of So Good.

Posted by: Andrew. 20th March 2017, 05:19 PM

Barely growing on me at all sad.gif I suppose I like two album tracks rather than one ('Sundown' is incredible) so that's something lmao. Not sure how well this'll do, she doesn't seem like an album seller to me.

Posted by: liamk97 20th March 2017, 05:31 PM

I thought the album was pretty solid tbf. The likes of 'Never Forget You', 'Lush Life', 'Ain't My Fault' and 'Symphony' are obviously all among the strongest but there wasn't any tracks I found anything less than good. From memory, I liked 'What They Say' and 'Only You' a lot.

I must add, I really don't get the hate for 'So Good'. It's not her best but it's certainly better than 'I Would Like'.

Even 'So Good' 11/10?

Posted by: Liаm 20th March 2017, 06:01 PM

So Good isn't THAT bad but it's the sort of thing that like 5H would put as a Japanese bonus track and it'd be a slight bop but you'd probably never really go back to it on its own. So for it to be the lead was ridic when she had Funeral, TG4M and Sundown on the album.

Posted by: gooddelta 20th March 2017, 07:41 PM

I don't agree with the general consensus, I think this is a great little pop album. All of the singles besides So Good are 9/10 quality at least and I really liked a lot of the album tracks too - Only You, TG4M, What They Say, Sundown and especially Funeral are all varying shades of good to brilliant for me.

So that's 10 songs out of 15 I really like, in my book that's a great strike rate. I don't dislike the remaining songs either, I Can't Fall In Love Without You is quite nice and the other three are fine.

I actually really like So Good! It's probably her weakest single, I agree on that but it's a catchy little tune and I was hooked for a few weeks even if I moved on from it very quickly. Probably a 9/10, I kinda forgot about it when making that sweeping statement, oops heehee.gif

Posted by: Davidson 20th March 2017, 08:45 PM

I think she should release 'Funeral' as the next single at the end of April/beginning of May (with BGT performance).

Then release 'Sundown' as the final single and as a summer bop in July/August (maybe add a Sean Paul feature just for good measure).

That is the best chance she has of keeping this era afloat.

This album has majorly grown on me! I think I actually like every song apart from 'So Good' (still can't get over her releasing that to launch the album. mellow.gif )

Posted by: liamk97 29th March 2017, 11:24 AM

My album rank:

01 Symphony (with Clean Bandit)
02 Never Forget You (with MNEK)
03 Ain't My Fault
04 Lush Life
05 Only You
06 Funeral
07 So Good
08 One Mississippi
09 I Would Like
10 Don't Let Me Be Yours
11 What They Say
12 I Can't Fall in Love Without You
13 TG4M
14 Sundown
15 Make That Money Girl

The Top 6 are excellent with 'So Good' (yep, that's right) and 'One Mississippi' being very good too. 'Don't Let Me Be Yours' is actually growing so I can accept it being a single, even if 'Funeral' is crying out to be released (this one is bound to go from strength to strength in my affections). 'Make That Money Girl' is the only song that I'd say I didn't particularly like; 'TG4m' and 'Sundown' are only let down by some annoying production in parts; 'I Can't Fall in Love Without You' is nice but doesn't evoke as much emotion as I feel it is trying to.

Posted by: gooddelta 29th March 2017, 11:30 AM

Funeral genuinely is SO good (unlike the title track </3).

The chorus is fantastic and the production is absolutely stellar, the chord structure in the verses and later choruses reminds me of parts of JX's Nothing I Won't Do, just a lot more mellow than that <3 The strings make it so wonderful too.

I'm still really loving the majority of this album personally!

Posted by: liamk97 29th March 2017, 11:48 AM

Kind of going against what I seem to suggest from my previous post but, whilst it's a solid debut album, as Joe said, it suffers from having released so many singles pre-album (aside 'So Good', these have all been praised as being among the best too) so there's not much more to explore with the album. Also, I find it quite a very divided listen, in the sense that I can feel myself going "these are the singles and these are the album tracks" when it should be a more cohesive listen with a good flow from track to track. Again, this will be largely down to releasing so many pre-album singles.

'So Good' dropped to #93 in the official charts this week, looking likely of it being it's last week in the top 100, although I guess it will re-enter at some points. Still surprised to see Zara outperforming Katy Perry etc and 'So Good' should pass 100,000 sales in the UK shortly! I wonder if it could have got 150,000 had they had a better lead single!

It's amazing how she's sold so well with 'So Good' given how album sales have declined so much!! Tbh, if ZL3 is coming soon and a feature's coming very soon it wouldn't hurt for her to come to the UK and discount the album. It's sold well enough but closer to 150k before ZL3 wouldn't do any harm I suppose laugh.gif

I actually can't stop watching that performance for a nine year old, she was absolutley incredible. She ended up finishing second on America Got Talent and helped the song climb to #58 on USA iTunes, but it's started falling down a bit again.

"So Good" really is the worst song on an otherwise excellent album, god knows why they thought it would be a good idea to release it as a single, let alone the album's lead in. I actually really like "Sundown" and think it would have made a good single instead but I don't think it would have worked in January/February :/ I also really like "Don't Let Me Be Yours" but they clearly only released that as it was written by Ed.

A shame that two bad single choices have otherwise ruined the streak she had going but she should be able to outpeak this in the UK with ZL3 given the right material.

I blame 'Epic' for the release of 'So Good', they really are an absolute mess of a label, especially with it coming out that Ten had to fight for 'Lush Life' to be released. Epic are incredibly poor at promoting their acts and no payolla was really spent on the re-release of 'Lush Life' and 'So Good' bombed so hard on US radio. Epic wanted 'So Good' to be released where Zara has stated that she wanted TG4M which would have been the better option considering it's outsold 'So Good' despite no live performances and no radio adds.

I actually agree with 'Don't Let Me Be Yours' being a single but the whole single release was overshadowed by 'Symphony' and it never really got any airplay or any hype. I would have liked to see 'Funeral' being a single but the title alone would ensure that it's airplay would be limited.

Regardless, I think her next album is going to the album which makes her massive, her first single is crucial, if it performers well then she will become a major popstar, if it doesn't perform well then I think we can see her doing a Tove Lo.

Posted by: leewallace 2nd October 2017, 05:47 PM

'So Good' has dropped out of the top 100 in the album midweek chart, there's twenty one new entries in the top 40 so hopefully once streaming kicks in, it helps push it back into the top 75 *.*

Who?

she’s a young, quite promising girl who was discovered on their version of idol. she had a few tracks that put her name out there and a smash single with ‘lush life’ which everyone loved...after that her team changed her direction from something different to a poor man’s rihanna and non of the songs stuck. a lot of people are hoping this is sorted out as she stands a good chance with a second era done right

hope that explains

Wait.. So Good has sold 1M pure worldwide? That’s amazing

Posted by: leewallace 6th October 2017, 12:01 PM

Shes actually had a successful campaign.

She will once again be in the top 10 biggest selling female albums come the end of the year! I seriously expect that’s she’s going to receive a Brits nomination for best international female. No doubt Taylor will win but Zara sold more than any other female last year (UK) and again this year has been very successful.

Posted by: leewallace 9th October 2017, 08:06 PM

She performed at a Swedish Children In Need.

She looks incredible and this version is just beautiful <3

'I Would Like' was the 88th biggest song in Sweden in 2017, 'Only You' was the 49th biggest song in Sweden in 2017 and 'Symphony' was the 5th biggest song of 2017!

'So Good' was the fourth biggest selling album in Sweden which has kind of surprised me, I expected it to be top three with only Ed beating her!

'So Good' by Zara Larsson now has over 2.4 BILLION streams on Spotify. This is the third album by a female artist to achieve this.

Posted by: Cameron 30th January 2018, 11:01 PM

I hope she launches a new single this year. After initially being a tad underwhelmed with the album, I have grown to absolutely love it aside from Make That Money Girl and What They Say!

Posted by: Frooot 4th February 2018, 07:06 PM

Lush Life is apparently being performed on Dancing On Ice, would be good to see it re/enter the top 200 on iTunes!

Posted by: Cameron 4th February 2018, 11:21 PM

It was the acoustic version used!

Posted by: Frooot 8th February 2018, 09:16 PM

So Zara SLAYED the Swedish Grammis tonight.

I'm surprised to see that she's not performing / attending as the Grammis is the biggest thing in Sweden. She's previously been nominated for song of the year four times with 'Carry You Home', 'Uncover', 'Lush Life' and 'Ain't My Fault' which she never won but tonight she FINALLY WON with 'Only You' ohmy.gif. 'Only You' being that massive Swedish hit.

She also won Artist of the year, which she also won last year (that was her first ever Grammis)! Finally she also won Album of the year ohmy.gif

SLAY ME.

'So Good' becomes the first and only album by a female artist to have three songs with over 500 million streams on Spotify. 'Never Forget You' passed 500 million streams today. biggrin.gif

I still find it amazing that Zara rejected 'This Is What You Came For' and it smashed for Rihanna!

Zara has revealed she turned down high profile collaborations that went on to become huge hits for other artists simply because she wasn’t feeling the music -- sometimes to the frustration of her closest advisors. L

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 17th March 2019, 11:05 PM

Just watched Ajayll reaction to this album and has made me want to listen to the album! Haven’t listened to any new pop girls for a while, so along with this, what other albums would people recommend?

Posted by: Wall 24th March 2019, 05:20 AM

TG4M was a legitimate smash, for a non single it’s almost passed 100m streams on Spotify. If this was a single over ‘So Good’ she would have had a far better performing single and arguably another single from ‘So Good’ which should have been I can’t fall in love without you. I love ‘Funeral’ but it wouldn’t be supported by radios imo

Never Forget You has become Zara's third single to pass 600m streams on Spotify.

She’s truly incredible!

She's doing a Jessie J. Stop, Zara.

How rude of her to show off her vocals.

Posted by: Jαsє 13th July 2019, 01:41 PM

Er yeah the oversinging can be kept

Posted by: Cqmerqn 13th July 2019, 04:01 PM

I think I’ve only watched a live performance on the X factor singing ‘ruin my life’ and damn she was awful

Posted by: Wall 13th July 2019, 04:32 PM

Well educate yourself more because even though I’m biased she’s a pretty damn incredible performer! Dancing and singing, she’s again not perfect because she is only 21 but her stage presence is legit some thing that Ellie could only dream off.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 14th July 2019, 09:56 AM

Hahaha I knew you’d bring Ellie into it. Zara could only dream of Ellie’s hits

You're right, it would made the most sense after 'I Would Like', I'd even go so far to say that 'TG4M' had the potential to reach 'New Rules' sized success.

Posted by: JulianNial 12th January 2021, 05:58 PM

Finally certified Platinum in the US!

2m copies if tg4m was chosen over so good and was ended with funeral
