A new song co-written by @zaralarsson called “Don’t Do Drugs” has been registered recently.
Written with Caroline Ailin (Dua Lipa, Lennon Stella, Tove Lo, Tove Styrke) & Daniel James Traynor (lots of NAO, but also H.E.R, Khalid, Dua, Years & Years).
She’s changed the name from Love Me Land to Poster Girl
She’s filmed four music videos during quarantine
Release date will be announced soon also 💀
Rumoured collabs are Dua and Kehlani
To be released next month according to the November issue of Entertaintment Weekly.
Epic strikes again.
This album so isn't happening.
Urgh. She deserves so much better!
Sony is the worst for acts who already doesn't have their own fanbase.
Apprently called Poster Girl now

OCC seemingly confirm it as Poster Girl
Also, if all the tracks were decided back in March what the hell is taking so long
Vocals.
Confirmed these two open up the album
01. Love Me Land
02. Talk About Love
Sweet Melody was also a reject for ZL2
I now know why I don't like it
Wow is on the album but all the time isn’t on the album!
Don’t worry bout me never made it either
Zara ffs
Are you surprised
Nope...
Also, is this not ZL3, Lee? I would not DARE see the masterpiece '1' paid to dust!
Second worldwide release

Confirmed songs so far
Love Me Land
Talk About Love
Wow
One bullet
Poster Girl

So glad WOW made the tracklist *.*
All The Time BETTER be on the deluxe.

We finally have a Zara song with the Max Martin team
Oh wow she got a song with Max AND Tommy?
Her two sided Ariana serve.
the list of songwriting teams involved is impressive
i'm actually quite shocked she managed to get such a high profile set of credits considering how much she's been commercially flopping lately and Max usually never touches anything that isn't going to have a fighting chance (her management's fault, ofc)
She’s been planning this album for years, so I can imagine she wasn’t flopping when recording this! It’s a huge list of massive writers and I’m excited for almost every song!
The max Martin song better slap
It’s insane So Good release is coming up for its four year anniversary a week after this is released
ATT and DWBM are not among her most popular tracks on Spotify, so can see why they were left out.
Coming for that #72 debut on UK album chart
RAGING at DWBM and 'All The Time'
Why couldn't they have put those two on it? It's not like anything else on this album is gonna be bigger!!
Is 'One Bullet' gonna be the 'Wanna' of this album? (which I'd still quite like a studio version of)
Oh wow those writing credits are insane! This better not disappoint.
ALSO FUMING that 'All The Time' is not included, also like 'Don't Worry Bout Me', so praying ATLEAST for streaming bonus tracks. Other wise that's just tragic.
permission > wanna
It shows how messy zara is though, she legit performed one bullet (kinda boring) last month on a final and that didn't even make the album, what was the point
This is the sort of thing that stops me from being able to properly invest in her, much as I'd like to.
Pre-order is also on iTunes for £7.99
So how badly will this flop?
Makes me wonder which one is more clueless, Zara('s management) or her label.
Just ordered the cassette of this
I'm holding out to hear the tracks, if more than half are good I'll buy it.
This not even showing up on pre-orders chart
I legit see 2.6k debut
zara's label really f***ed up during the 'so good' era by pushing the more pop-r&b sound instead of the pop and going back on themselves when the poppier songs were doing better.
she obviously wants to do pop and the label intervene...
interestingly... on the same label as camila, meghan trainor & 5H (previous) and i'd say they all struggled with the "are we pop?" or "are we pop/R&B" sound...
so did Zara!
Yeh Zara's always said TG4M deserved to be a single but epic pushed hard for So Good, ironically Epic didn't like Lush Life or Never Forget You!
So 'All The Time' and 'Don't Worry Bout Me' are confirmed not to be the bonus tracks. (BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!)
And the official tracklist is:
1. Love Me Land
2. Talk About Love (feat. Young Thug)
3. Need Someone
4. Right There
5. Wow
6. Poster Girl
7. I Need Love
8. Look What You've Done - This is supposedly the next single
9. Ruin My Life
10. Stick With You
11. FFF
12. What Happens Here
She answered my all the time question on most requested *.*
what did you ask?
Im actually super excited for the release of this!
Why the F is 'Wow' on it but not DWBM or 'All The Time'?
and why Ruin my Life is in when it's even older
when was Ruin my Life released? 2018 I think, it's a 3-year old song
I agree a short neat album is a nice thing, but she could also do an expanded/deluxe with all the tracks for completists
there's a deluxe version on her website
when i'm not around
famous
but maybe they'll do a complete edition on Spotify, many artists do that (ie Brightest Blue)
The two Japan bonus tracks are "Don't Worry Bout Me" and "All The Time".
I thought they were: 'when i'm not around' & 'famous'.
Tho the amount of fans moaning about 'all this time' might prompt her to stick it on the end.
No they are target when I’m not around (originally meant for Demi lovato) and famous
She’s doing a live concert on YouTube March 8th with Live Nation and in collab with IKEA!!
A good move, very exciting! I'll certainly be watching!
I can't believe this is out next friday
Promo Performances
06/03 - Ellen
first review is a 5/5
Pop will prevail. That’s the mantra that runs through Zara Larsson’s much anticipated second full-length. After the wild success of her 2017 debut ‘So Good’ – still apparently the second most-streamed album by a female solo artist on Spotify, dontcha know – ‘Poster Girl’ isn’t letting up in the slightest. This is strictly a ‘no ballads allowed’ zone.
By going for front-to-back bangers, Larsson is playing to her strengths. With that Swedish high-def pop heritage, every song could be a chart smash. In context, they complement too. Previous single ‘Ruin My Life’ remains an earworm of the highest order, while opener ‘Love Me Land’ is achingly cool. Some of the newbies are total scene-stealers, though – none less so than the brilliant ‘FFF’ (that’s Falling For a Friend, ‘FYI’). A massive pop banger with a sky-high chorus and an instrumental break that sounds like it could perfectly soundtrack that dancefloor scene in The Inbetweeners movie, it’s ridiculous fun.
In embracing music’s most rewarding artform, Zara Larsson has yet again affirmed her place on the brightest of billboards. Pass the blu-tack.
5/5
who wrote this review? Was it you?
I want a top quality album from her but I'm struggling to have much faith in that considering how dis-jointed the era has been so far. Look What You've Done was a breath of fresh air for her and Ruin My Life and Love Me Land are two good singles to have on the album too so it could surprise?
I'm already marking it down due to having the audacity to put wow on the album over all the time
I am actually super excited for this album- as sad as it has been seeing her lose all the commercial success she was so consistently receiving, I'm not mad at her being a popular with the gays kinda artist haha
NME 4/5
Even Zara Larsson concedes that this album has been a long time coming. “You can always find excuses not to have a release, which is what I’ve been doing for, like, four years,” she told NME last month. Still, pop fans needn’t panic. Though ‘Poster Girl’ arrives nearly two-and-a-half years after its lead single, the faintly masochistic R&B bop ‘Ruin My Life’, it doesn’t sound tentative or desperate. When Larsson sings “this girl’s having fun” on standout banger ‘Look What You’ve Done’, you can tell she means it.
Her third record begins with last year’s ‘Love Me Land’, a stunning dance-pop song that deserved to become a huge hit like Larsson’s 2015 breakthrough singles ‘Never Forget You’ and ‘Lush Life’, but somehow didn’t. “Never thought I would love again,” she sings blissfully. “Here I am, lost in Love Me Land.” This evocative line, which almost sounds ripped from a lost disco classic, introduces the album’s recurring theme: love in all its ecstatic, messy and sometimes frustrating glory.
Nine tracks later, on the equally dreamy ‘FFF’, the Swedish star delivers an even more dazzling lyric, asking, “Is there a spark for us, or is it just purely platonic? / Is this a story arc?”, before concluding: “It’d be iconic.” ‘FFF’ turns out to be Larsson’s shorthand for “falling for a friend”, which as many of us know, can definitely be messy.
Thankfully, even a loved-up Larsson is too cool to give us saccharine Valentine’s Day sentiments; the glistening, mid-tempo tune ‘Need Someone’ wrong-foots you slightly when she sings: “I’m happy, I don’t need your love / I’m happy, but I want you.” It’s the sort of subtly empowering line that really suits Larsson, a straight-talking pop star known for promoting sex-positivity and calling out toxic masculinity. And she isn’t afraid to get a little risqué, telling a distracted partner on ‘I’m Right Here’: “I could have two girls in this bed / Wouldn’t even get your attention.”
I’m thinking about doing an album listening party, would anyone be interested at all!
There’s a couple of members going to do a Poster Girl midnight listen tomorrow and discuss track by track if anyone also fancies that!
The album is out in New Zealand.
Third Review 4/5 DIYMAG
Pure pop escapism.
LABEL: BLACK BUTTER
RELEASED: 5TH MARCH 2021
REVIEWER: EMMA SWANN
RATING: 4 STARS
If 2020’s biggest album (Dua, obvs) offered up killer dancefloor vibes at the precise moment it transpired nobody would be seeing one any time soon, that Zara Larsson’s third hits on the cusp of spring, with its increased daylight hours and promise of meaningful human interaction in the middle-distance is a stroke of genius. Take the Marshmello-produced, and curiously understated ‘WOW’, the vocal swagger of opener ‘Love Me Land’ or peppy title track. Or the breezy ‘Need Someone’, which makes like Calvin Harris’ ‘Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1’, and begs to soundtrack a road trip. The Young Thug-featuring ‘Talk About Love’ packing a nostalgic punch, with a chorus that hits in all the right places, the earworm-and-a-half that is ‘FFF’, or even ‘Look What You’ve Done’, disco-tinged both in string section and empowered lyrical melodrama. Musically rose-tinted, ‘Poster Girl’ is pure pop escapism.
I am actually quite confident this will be a better album than the mess that ended up being So Good. I'm rather looking forward to giving it a listen!
i'm giving it a listen now
I don't really like this I don't think the album is bad, it's very nicely produced but it just comes across as very understated, a lot of the pop hooks she had on So Good aren't on Poster Girl, even songs like All the Time and Don't Worry Bout Me would've added a LOT of pop fun to the album.
The songs that stood out to me were Need Someone (this is v good, I love this), Poster Girl, as well as Ruin My Life which I believe is the best on the album. FFF is a banger too.
I’m the complete opposite, I think it’s a massive improvement on So Good

07. Ruin My Life
08. Right Here
09. Need Someone
10. What Happens Here
11. Talk About Love
12. WOW
'Poster Girl' is my favourite too, I can imagine it being a hit, I'd say 'I Need Love' is my 2nd favourite new track, I'm not blown away, but it'll get some streams from me for sure.
'All The Time' would have fit so flawlessly after 'Poster Girl' or 'I Need Love' I also feel like 'Don't Worry Bout Me' would have closed the album beautifully, so that's where I'll be placing those on my 'Spotify' version of the album.
Actually really excited to listen to this! 'Look What You've Done' has definitely revived my interest
'need someone' and 'right here' are just insatiable.
I'm not gonna listen again until It's on UK streaming, for some reason I really wanna listen to FFF again, I feel like with a glass of something it'll go off... plus it's Drag Race UK night so I'm gonna be boozed by midnight.

All The Time would have fitted this album perfectly!!
COME THROUGH FFF
Justice for Don't Worry Bout Me which would have been a nice Deluxe CD only bonus track at the end x
Listening through again and I'm gonna queue 'All The Time' after 'WOW' and put 'Don't Worry Bout Me' at the end.
Such a solid album. I can tell it's just gonna grow the more that I get used to the tracks.
BUT ZARA. PLEASE RELEASE 'POSTER GIRL' NEXT. OK. THANKS.
You're welcome.
Nah, this is the first genuinely fantastic album of the year for me
Okay I'm gonna go loop 'Poster Girl' and 'All The Time' now. This was fun!
Okay why am I just realizing that 'Poster Girl' is about getting stoned. I'm dumb.
*EDIT: Just thought, 'Smoke Rings' could have easily followed it on the track listing, would have made sense.
I actually can't believe how much I slept on 'Look What You've Done'
I'm SO sorry Zara hun x

I Need Love stood out as an instant favorite for me
Listening now, this was actually sounding really good until 'WOW' (now playing) comes along and ruins it.
Why did she have to include that? It's not like it did anything anywhere so there's no justification.
She almost has a cohesive album that flows really well. Swap out 'WOW' and 'Ruin My Life' for 'All The Time' and 'Don't Worry Bout Me', remove 'Stick With You' and 'Talk About Love' and it's perfect.
Overall: well done Larsson!
On first listen this is really good! I'm sure most of the tracks will be growers too. Let's just say my expectations were lowered after WOW and Talk About Love but she definitely delivered overall

1. Look What You've Done
2. Poster Girl
3. Right Here
4. Love Me Land
5. FFF
6. Need Someone
7. I Need Love
8. What Happens Here
9. Stick With You
10. Talk About Love
11. Ruin My Life
12. WOW
'Don't Worry Bout Me' would be 2nd and 'All The Time' 3rd/4th.
Poster Girl is definitely my favourite of the new tracks- I Need Love and Love Me Land complete my top 3 currently
I was missing DWBM and All The Time a lot though
It’s #11 on Apple Music, if this had a lead single I could have seen it doing well tbh
Lots of the tracks are growing on me more with each listen 'I Need Love' and 'Right Here's in particular.
Anyone know where I can listen to the Japanese bonus tracks?
Dbree
When I’m not around is a bop
This is so fabulous, I love it! All The Time deserved to be on this album. It blends in with the sound so well. Poster Girl and FFF are 10/10s!
Need Someone seems to be getting the next single treatment push
Poster Girl deserves.
FFF is a smash. Love the album!
Look What You’ve Done, FFF, Need Someone and Poster Girl are all such slays
Remember she has a Youtube concert on Monday! It's going to be very similar to Dua's show but for Free!
Poster Girl Live is a serve
Need Someone is such a grower, chilled summer vibes
After numerous more listens here is my current updated ranking:01. All The Time
01. [03] Look What You've Done 10.0
02. [02] Poster Girl 10.0

S H O O K
I wish the vinyl was released
FFF and Need Someone are the clear stand outs to me after my first listen. Think the rest of the album will take a few more listens to grow on me.
Also, such a stupid decision not to include All The Time and Don't Worry Bout Me. They both would have fit so well on the album, makes no sense to leave them out.
I’m surprised that she’s got no promo for this in the U.K.?
She’s performing on Good Morning America on Monday and her live YouTube show on Monday too
Loving 'Right Here'!
Album of the Week on Radio 2 from tomorrow. A track will be played on OJ Borg's (12am-3am) and Ken Bruce's show (9:30am-12pm) for the next 5 days.
Oh wow !!!
Hopefully they playlist a track
She got a promo slot on this morning and performed lush life. I can’t

label probz though thtis could help her become relevant for 10mins
I mean at least it's boosted the album nicely but seriously 'Lush Life' did not need that slot. If she started with 'Lush Life' and then mixed it with one of the new songs It would have made much more sense.
I'm not feeling massively enthused about this album but 'Love Me Land' is my favourite Zara song these days so I'm glad that this era provided that. The rest of my top 3 would be... 'Don't Worry Bout Me' and 'All The Time' so I'm also disappointed that they didn't make the cut - I wish more filler moments could be switched out for those. 'Look What You've Done' and 'Need Someone' are also keepers at least - I was pleasantly surprised by the production and general vibe of the latter, has a dreamy Tame Impala quality to it. I think I'll give the title track more of a chance too because on paper it seems exactly up my street but just wasn't clicking for whatever reason.
I’m really enjoying this album- Poster Girl and Love Me Land are both shoots
I don't why she didn't at least mash it up with a new single... mad.
It wasn't her decision and she is apparently really annoyed by the decision to perform LL
It really annoys me when the label/broadcaster decide they want them to promote an older song.
At least it gave the album a bit of a boost!
Yeh apparently she was forced to perform lush life and that’s why she looked like she hated every minute!
10 in mids with a project debut of 19!
Forced and forced... tv shows decide what they want a performer to sing as they don't want people to tune out. Her latest singles have bombed so I assume they wouldn't book her unless she did something popular.
It sucks, but not unusual.
The thing is... it SHOULD be unusual. I don't get the point of even asking someone in the middle of a brand new campaign to perform a song that's 6 years old. Don't want them to promote their new material, why bother asking them to perform and not get someone else who has a currently popular song about? It just makes no sense to me and it really sucks and makes it so hard for someone to get past that "sophomore slump".
At least compromise and ask for a medley that included that older song or better yet, ask her to perform a song that was actually a HIT from the album. She could've performed 'Ruin My Life'. It just makes a mockery of the artist who wants their new work to be heard. How are they expected to do that if they're asked to perform a song that's not relevant to that campaign? Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised or blame her if she never promotes here again.

Live show
Coming here to say that this album is so so good!!! I low key hated the singles (Talk About Love + WOW) and think they're the two worst on the album! All The Time + Don't Worry Bout Me deserved.
My current fave is I Need Love, reminds me of 'Only Love' by Katy Perry with a bit more oomph to it
I just realized that 'Right Here' KIND OF references 'All The Time'.
Right Here: "I'm wearing that perfume you bought me in June.
All The Time was released in June and has the lyric: "Everyone's been wearing your perfume".
Right Here is THAT bitch. Just saying!
The right there performance was everything, there’s a video coming soon
A video coming for 'Right There' and 'Need Someone' also being pushed soon too?
Right There video was filmed same time as Love Me Land, she couldn't decide the single so she filmed two videos. It would be a waste to let it go
London tickets go on sale 7pm
https://www.banquetrecords.com/zara-larsson/pryzm%2C-7%3A00pm/ZL270820
This entire campaign has been a f***-up to rival Katy Perry's recent era.
It shits all over the studio version
Okay but this was a real highlight!
#18 in mids eek
This album deserves way better. I bought the CD to help her out, albeit it wasn’t signed and had no stickers, which the Amazon description promised.
Look What You’ve Done and FFF are both brilliant and I really like What Happens Here too while others are quickly growing.
Would secretly love her to have tacked on the Carola duet, although that was never going to happen. The absence of All The Time and Don’t Worry Bout Me are baffling though when Ruin My Life is on here.
The album is good! My first listen I thought it was FANTASTIC because a lot of the songs are very instant. On repeated listens it hasn't held up in my affections as much but it's still a good listen. I may end up getting tired of it soon if it continues on the downward trajectory it has since my first listen but hopefully not.
My personal favourite is 'I Need Love'
Debuted at #3 in Sweden fuuuuuuck
Probably not, the albums ahead of her are already out for numerous week!
Really surprised this debuted at #12 in the uk considering it was down to #18
Whoa, how did that happen?
Did they do some kind of competition or signed bundle at the last moment?
42 copies behind top 10.
Imagine if she had a song on a Spotify playlist / Apple or performed poster girl on this morning! Her team have let her down so bad
#12 isn't bad considering that it contains one charting single and that was two years ago.

.@zaralarsson's 'Poster Girl' debuts at #170 on this week's Billboard 200 (7K sold).
f***
I am BAFFLED how they could mess everything up so much?
Radio 2 plays:
FFF [2 plays]
Look What You've Done [2 plays]
Love Me Land [2 plays]
Need Someone [2 plays]
Stick With You [2 plays]
Down to #87 in the Monday update.
Oh Holy Christ. This is all so painful.
I’m really loving this album. In fact I never paid much attention to Zara until the last 2 weeks.
So she has gained me as a fan. I love the YouTube performances and also stream this a lot on Spotify.
Would be nice if she improves from the No.87 midweek chart position.
This album deserves so much more success!
to think this whole era has been on hold for the US hit for it to come to that is baddd
Wow. It's out of the top 100 already. Bloody Nora.
Deluxe is coming soon apparently
At least we have another album for afsc
Remember y’all to vote in this final round http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=244216&st=60&start=60
Where did it drop to in week 2?
Shame it's out of the top 100.
dropped to #4 in sweden
She should tag on lush life and symphony for those extra sales *.*
Deluxe version incoming
I’m guessing with travelling happening again they’re just going to go with a new single to lead
Put All The Time on the deluxe and re-release it as a single.
According to rumours FFF could be pushed as the next single with Niall Horan on a re-release.
I swear if she chooses FFF as the next single when she could have had Look What You've Done or Poster Girl
Poster Girl re-release is expected but apparently going to be like Dua's FN with collabs and remixes.
Epic have removed all of poster girls tracks from tik tok
What’s the general consensus on this album?
I enjoyed So Good and I, looking for some new music to listen too.
MILES better than 'So Good' overall.
A very underrated album and as other have said, much much better than 'So Good'. The addition of 'All The Time' would take it to become one of my all time favourite pop albums.
The way her label brushed it off before it was even released
Thanks everyone, this along with .Dua’s album will be the first two I check out once I pick up streaming again. (Now that I have a new job. Yay!)
Niall... on FFF? This sounds like fan fiction
It’s aged as much as jay tbh
Will be aiming to listen to this tomorrow morning. Looking forward to it as I did enjoy most of So Good.
Listened to it finally.
In my view it was good without being fantastic but I did enjoy it. I may need to give it a second and third listen.
What was your highlights?
Also how on earth did she manage to have a messier campaign than so good? She legit led the era with no single lmao as talk about love was dead at 1 minute past midnight the day it came out
Didn’t realise there were two deluxe tracks. Famous and When I’m Not Around. I might need to check them out too.
Deluxe is coming and there’s going to be a remix within a very popular artist, please be Poster Girl (song)
Do we have a release date or what will be included on the deluxe!
isn't she doing FFF with Niall ? Hes got a single with Anne-Marie lined up also
apparently deluxe has two new songs, it also includes live / orchestral editions of some songs, target tracks and all the time and dwbm still not on tracklist
Zara deffo just hates All The Time...
I bet she loves Flop About Love x
Is she crazy?
apparently deluxe is coming this friday
I swear I'm disowning her.
Deluxe version apparently includes
Morning
Last Summer
I need love (live)
Ruin my life (orchestral version)
Never forget you (orchestral version)
Right here (alok remix)
Sag Mig Var Du Sar
Looking forward to the new tracks.
Honestly who cares about the other add ons when there could have been All The Time, Don't Worry Bout Me or Like It Is. Her label are so trash she needs to escape asap.
Right Here music video coming Friday
Ooh plz be the next single!
Only Zara would add Never Forget You to the album...
One of her earliest hits, but not 2 songs which fit the album perfectly and were only released like 2 years ago?
Ridiculous. I don't care if they're playing into the "Summer Edition" or whatever both 'All the Time' and 'Don't Worry Bout Me' slap in the sun! Ughhhhh. WHAT ARE HER LABEL DOING? FFS!!!
THE ALBUM COVER....
I——//
How do I continue stanning when I think I hate her
I'm here to celebrate 'Right Here' getting a music video, but the rest I'm choosing to ignore. Of course I'll listen to the new songs but I'm just so miffed.
Last Summer was written with Raye!
Morning and Last Summer are good songs, nothing amazing but at least we’ve got more material!
Last Summer
I've just listened to the snippets on iTunes 'New Zealand'.
'Morning' is a bop! Does a great job of being a Summer jam, but wow the instrumental sounds a lot like 'I Don't Care'.
I really like 'Last Summer' I can see it being a big grower.
Nice to have new material, I'll be revisiting this (well my own version) tomorrow. 'All The Time' still needs it's place and 'Poster Girl' should be a single with a feature.
Never Forget You lol.
I hate the new album art ew why couldn’t it just be the same in blue without her walking past it but I’ve learnt not to expect anything from any deluxe version considering Ariana and Chloe x Halle’s recent attempts being around 7 minutes of new content
Last Summer is a bop
Not too fussed by Morning on first listen.
Apparently the Right Here video is the Alok remix, which ruins the chorus which is the best part of the song .
I’m unstanning
How can she release the same album without any single promoting it
You stole my sunshine, my f***ing summerrrrr
Last Summer
'Morning' - Will need a few more listens. It's completely passed me by.
'Last Summer' - INSTANT. ADORE THIS! Extremely 80's. But a pop banger!
I took a listen to 'Ruin My Life (Orchestral Version)' too... WHO AUTHORISED THIS WITHOUT (CLEARLY) LISTENING TO IT?! They kept the backing track of the original track in, amped up it's volume so that it COMPLETELY drowned out the Orchestra!? I'm SO pissed. I was counting on that being really, REALLY special
I hope Zara stays releasing songs like look what you’ve done, last summer etc, if they had proper releases and promotion I really think they would have been successful. She needs a good team and a good label.
I think Last Summer is my fav release of hers so far.
i just don't see what the point in this re-release was?
To provide us with last summer tbh
A new re-release of the Summer Edition of the album will be out tomorrow, including the Billen Ted remix of "Morning" and "I Need Love", which features Trevor Daniel. The latter was an Amazon Original exclusive release.
WHY
What is the actual point
We still don’t have all the time
Why is the label wasting money on these pointless remixes, it makes zero sense
does commissioning remixes really cost that much?
I think she’s working with billen ted on new music so was probably done as a favour
I really do love the Trevor version
The way this had three different times on the album though
vote lush life and girls like tbh

instead of just randomly adding songs to this album... why don't they actually send a song to radio?!?!?!?
there's still small hope that radio 2 might help her next song be a top 100 smash tbh
On iTunes
She nails that, it really should be a single it's wonderful.
it works so well live.
Is her tour still happening? The Helsinki concert got cancelled. I didn't have ticket but a friend did.
Zara is planning something with Ed Sheeran!
Doesn’t he have a label now? He should sign her ASAP if so.
She's performing a tour in Sweden and Norway.
the looks
She looks SOOO GOOODD!!
I forgot how good this album is. I just listened for the first time in months and it really slaps. Literally no skips. It really deserves so much better.
How the campaign should have went and album tracklist
Single 1: Love Me Land (better promo and payola because this slaps)
Single 2: Look What You’ve Done
Single 3: Poster Girl (released as instant grat before album then add a rapper)
Love Me Land
All The Time
Poster Girl
Last Summer
Right Here
Look What Youve Done
Need Someone
Ruin My Life
I Need Love
Talk About Love
Morning
Stick With You
That would have been SICK and a much stronger track listing.
I'd definitely remove 'Talk About Love' personally.
she’s apparently worked with Alesso and centralsee
She's teasing a feature on twitter also
guessing alesso or central see she needs it
there’s also a nicki minaj version of wanna that has leaked with Zara! I’m surprised they didn’t push it tbh
'wanna' is a song thats been around since the first album hasn't it?
It has yes, but there were licencing issues with that and also 'Permission'which is another bop that deserves justice, then 'Wanna didn't make the cut for 'Poster Girl' for some bizarre reason. She's just sitting on all these smashes. 'Smoke Rings' would have been perfect on the album too. I still have it stuck in my head.
wanna was made for so good, she re did it for poster girl and it even had a nicki feature, she decided against it and it went to another artist who sampled it
Zara now owns all her music as well as creating her own label, incredible
https://www.clashmusic.com/news/zara-larsson-has-acquired-her-back-catalogue
Does this mean 1 will end up on streaming? I hope so anyways!
somebody tweeted her that and she says it’s a good idea
Sag Mig Var Du Star now on streaming
So is Uncover (unless that was on before?)
