Zara Larsson has spent years in training, and her upbeat persona, which can sometimes be too forward, adds electric fulfillment on this project, and scores a win for her.

Album - So GoodArtiste - Zara Larsson Record Label - Record Company TEN/Epic (2017)Duration- 50 minutes

19 year old and fresh, Zara Larsson represents all that is different and glitzy about life. Since she pushed to fame with winning Sweden’s Got Talent at ten years old, she has steadily grown through the ranks in Europe. And there’s just a lot of buzz around her as she became a fresh outlet for pop music on the continent. She’s grown to become an international star now, and her second album “So Good” is meant to mark this time of her life.

Pop music is her forte, and Larsson has wasted no time in dishing out some of the bet songs on the project as singles.

Chart-topping lead single “Lush Life” is extremely immersive, and its power pushed her to the top in 2015, Her follow up, ‘Never forget you’, which featured UK’s MNEK showed a part of her drama that is mixed with darkness, while also highlighting the power in her voice and melody.

And where sentiment was once her mantra, she dumped them for desire in the overtly sexual “Ain’t My Fault” and “I Would Like”, which adds a mature tone to the project. Larsson is layered, and she is not shy about it. She captures it in her art and spins hits from it. Turns out sex can line the pockets too.

There’s also Nigeria’s Wizkid in ‘Sundown’, who contributes the Afro-Caribbean swag and riddim to complement her zest.

But pop isn’t all that Zara’s arsenal holds. She fires off less bouncy songs, designed to drop the tempo and carry the listener through different pleasant and stable moods. “Don’t Let Me Be Yours” and “One Mississipii” are kind of short on fire and spice, while ‘I can’t fall in love with you’ is a Disney ballad with a difference.

Rating 3.5/5.
