What is Zara playing at? 'Uncover' is starting to slay worldwide and 'Lush Life' is incredibly poor. 'Weak Heart', 'Rooftop' and 'Carry You Home' were incredible singles. This is by far her worst so far. I'm guessing this could grow on me but at the moment I'm not very impressed.
I can't wait for her to go running to Melodifestivalen in a few years when her career has inevitably ground to a halt
I do agree with you Lee, this is very mediocre compared to her usual standard.
im gutted, she has such potential butthis is rubbish
Bumping because this has been slaying the Swedish charts this summer and it has grown on me so much over the past few weeks.
It's available to pre-order in the UK right now, with a release date of January 15th! Yay at her seemingly getting a push, but why aren't they going OA/OS?
This is actually incredible! I never saw what something special Zara supposedly had that would help her break out worldwide over all the other Scandipop stars, but now I can see it. This screams smash, it's basically a female version of 'What Do You Mean?' for me.
I've been saying for months that Rihanna should lead some sort of tropical pop revolution, and this sounds like the single Rihanna so desperately needs! The tropical reggae sound of this would suit Rihanna perfectly, but it also suits Zara perfectly!
Really impressed with this actually. Everything else I've heard of hers has been varying degrees of sheer boredom but this has a lot going for it.
This is brilliant, such a wonderully crafted pop song <3 I hope Never Forget You is big and sets her up for this doing well.
Anyone else get considerable Lean On vibes from this? Surprisingly quite good, much better than Uncover imo. Potential #1 in the new year?
I love this now! I think 2016 is gonna be her year!
this isn't available on spotify...surely on the back of her europe-wide success with this song / her mnek collab, she's going to be set up for big things?
massive tune
Yessir of hearing this, Uncover and Never Forget You this is my favourite one so far. Would love it if it became a top 10 hit over here!
This is on Apple Music now, dunno about Spotify but I've just noticed it
It is on Spotify
Oh very interesting! It's still up for pre-order in the UK but it's done very well around Europe so i'm hoping that 'Lush Life' manages to get Zara her first top 10 UK hit.
I've just noticed that it's climbed to #217 on USA iTunes and was top 100 on USA Spotify as of last week despite next to no airplay and without any USA promotion.
Zara has reached a new peak of #71 on USA Spotify, I can't believe how huge she's going to be in 2016. 'Lush Life' is also #162 on UK Spotify, nothing major but good progress from an unknown artist I'll be interested to see the sales of 'Uncover' as it's failed to leave the top 800 since 'Never Forget You' premiered.
I think Never Forget You has really set Zara up for stardom in the UK. I think the fact is was a joint single has really put people on their radar. Her vocals are definitely better than MNEK's on the track so she will hopefully have an outstanding career in the UK in 2016!
This is so good
this needs to be a huge top 10 really. the Rihanna comparison earlier in the thread is great actually, if she made music like this.
I know 'Uncover' is like over 2 years old but that could probably be a hit too if it got pushed after this. (and its age didn't stop it smashing in a few countries earlier this year)
How is this doing Pre-Order wise? I haven't heard it on the radio or seen it on tv
I don't think it has been sent for radio or TV adds yet, I'm presuming it won't be until January 15th which will then be alongside the "OA/OS" release of the single. I did see Zara performing it live on 4music earlier today though so it's definitely on its way!
Okay, so this just hit me as one of the best pop songs of the year. Always liked it but had it on repeat 20 odd times this morning
Please be a massive #01 in Spring 2016.
It's already #51 on Spotify and I'm guessing it could chart before it's released. There's no way radio will snub this, I can see a massive top 3 hit now.
Suddenly loving this. So catchy!
Gah, I love this. The added/new chorus that kicks in at 2:08 works so well. Kind of wish she smiled a bit in the video though as the song's so joyous and she's such a stunner, but I'm just nitpicking - the whole thing's flawless. <3
STAN NOAH.
She's so beautiful for being 18.
This is fantastic. Please be a hit.
The video is utterly horrendous though, cheap and nasty. They should have splashed out a tiny bit more.
SO GOOD

Zara has shared a clip from her upcoming music video for her next single. It will apparently be released in February.
I think that's a new video for Lush Life. I think I saw something mentioned about that
http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2016/01/18/clinique-zara-larsson-makeup-ad-campaign-photos/
The video is atrocious and ultra cheap, I'd appreciate a new one.
More 'Lush Life' videos
'Lush Life' is not being pushed in America despite being #30 on Spotify and bubbling under, they've sent out 'Never Forget You' for adds which is actually doing reasonable well as it's climbed to #157 on USA iTunes and #158 on USA Spotify.
I feel like a proud father, I've supported Zara for years and to finally see her breakout and becoming the star I know she could be . 'Lush Life' is such a remarkable song that should have been Rihanna's comeback so I'm thankful Zara is rapidly increasing on UK iTunes and will be top #15 no week as it's already #23 on iTunes and #14 on Spotify without Capital, Radio 1 or Kiss supporting the track yet.
I'm praying Zara announces a mini UK tour because I'll be desperate to get tickets, who wants to come with me ? x
Playlisted by Capital
Thank god for that
I am obsessed
BOP. I'm probably late to the party but this has been on repeat for three weeks.
Zara has released four new versions of 'Lush Life' with new videos.

absolute queen.
Are they meant to be as laggy?
WHAT A QUEEN. I feel like I'm making a remix
The country version is on youtube now
LOVE *.*
i like the concept but they've just whacked the original vocal over the top of a country instrumental and it doesn't sync properly and therefore sounds terrible
WHAT A PITY
ooh that version is quite good
Now top 10 on iTunes.
:shakingheeseblock:
i live my day as if it was my last

Yeah, it is the same as her Clinique video version *.* also YES at Vanessa playing after it
He sounds vocodered.
omfg.
This song is amazin!!
stan for the queen
I'm glad she's made it big. I always remember irking her manager when I emailed questions during "Bad Boys"'s promo a few years back.

*introduced by Zara
She revealed Never Forget You's post-chorus drop was inspired by Jack Ü's Where Are Ü Now and that she shot Lush Life's video in a rush(!) because they wanted to put the video and song out at the same time.
Lush Life has really clicked with me recently, for some reason I didn't used to find it catchy and I can't fathom why on earth that was the case now.
Remember that Zara is performing 'Lush Life' on The Voice tonight, it should ensure that she manages a sixth week top 5 and she's currently 9 and 41 on iTunes.
In other news 'Lush Life' will also be re-released for a third time in America according to her label!
Yeah, I've been baffled as to why it's been so consistent with streaming yet hasn't been touched by radio or acquired more sales. Truly bizarre. So I hope another re-release will give it the push it needs. Agree about the pre-order as well, not sure what they're waiting for.
That performance was awful! She's rivalling Katy Perry in the live stakes.
I completely disagree with that. It may not have been Zara's finest performance but she usually delivers incredible performances of 'Lush Life' which is a difficult song to sing.
Shaking cheeseblock. I can't at how amazing 'Lush Life' is.
Lush Life finally getting that 3rd radio push it needs :jonny:

53. Lush Life on US Spotify
22 weeks on the Billboard Bubbling Under :
New video I presume it is for the US release
That was my first instinct too: US release!!!
The new video is cute and nice but I love the original version much better.
Seems a bit pointless. It's a nice video though, but so is the original. Could have used that money on shooting the video for and promoting the next single.
Oh my!
Much prefer the original video I'm afraid.
It's cheap like the other one, but doesn't look as nasty.
*Patiently waiting for her to move on from Lush Life*
! She certainly wasn't lying. :')
As for the videos, I actually prefer the original version... it had more charm to it.
Within nearly 1.7M combined units after peaking at #3 in 2016, “Lush Life” its the 10th biggest female seller-song in the United Kingdom in this decade!
It’s sold 9 million copies worldwide *.* coming for 10 million eventually
Well deserved
A top 10 song of this decade
61st biggest selling single of the decade with 1.815m and the twelfth biggest selling female single of the decade
Retro Version out today!
lmao why
what is with her team and 'lush life'????
This song literally came out over 6 years ago!!!! Literally what is the purpose of this
It'll probably have more impact than reissuing Poster Girl, to be fair.
moreover, it's not retro at all, sounds like a demo to me
hope everyone who seen her tonight had an awful night
This seems to be picking up a lot of momentum on Shazam for whatever reason and is almost top 50 worldwide
Oh lord no. Not again
