Zara Larsson\u2019s newest album is inane, for better or for worse.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it mean to say that up until this year, I\u2019d never really had a conscious thought about Swedish pop phenom Zara Larsson? Of course, I\u2019ve been somewhat familiar with her work; she\u2019s been inconspicuously successful, racking up millions of streams, with her debut album So Good <\/em>ranking in the top 200 most streamed albums of all time. She has some smash hits- her debut single \u201cLush Life\u201d was a serious contender for 2015\u2019s song of the summer. Her real huge hit, \u201cNever Forget You\u201d was catchy, but had the same problem as the rest of Zara\u2019s work: a lack of personality. She\u2019s never struck me as a superstar, anything more than a girl with a great voice. But with the lead single and title track to her newest album, Midnight Sun, <\/em>Zara hit something new, something\u2026interesting. <\/em>Over twinkling synths, pounding jersey club beats, and Ray Of Light<\/em>-era sub bass, Zara holds notes for over ten seconds with perfect vibrato, invoking endless summer nights and stadium-sized romance in a way unheard of since Katy Perry\u2019s \u201cTeenage Dream\u201d. On the album, Zara seeks to elevate her music by reaching towards the trashy, glitzy, and humid, and has some huge hits and huge misses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larsson has been building an immense amount of hype for this project based on sheer charm, personality, and superhotgirlness. I see clips from the campy, Lisa Frank-inspired video for the title track all over Twitter; I see her perfectly hit a split to a cover of \u201cGimme More\u201d while opening for everyone\u2019s favorite pop star desperately in need of a neti pot, Tate McRae; I see her mischievous charm on TikTok, jokingly pushing back at snarky gayboy critics<\/a> (notice me Zara). But this trademark charm can not be found in spades on Midnight Sun. <\/em>The should-I-fuck-my-friend\u2019s-ex anthem \u201cGirl\u2019s Girl\u201d has a catchy hook, sure, but the production plods along with very little tension and release, and the lyric \u201cI should be cautious, but I\u2019m playing with fire instead\u201d made my eyes roll faaarrrrrr back into my head. Single, \u201cCrush,\u201d is even duller, with its textbook 2010s EDM drop and not a drop of personality to be found lyrically\u2013it\u2019s tale of unrequited love through charmingly simple wordplay could feel smart, but Larsson explains it as if we\u2019re stupid: \u201cOh, baby, I\u2019m crushed \/ It will never be us \/ That\u2019s why they call it a crush.\u201d We got it, girl, we got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of you may say, \u201cBut Bennett! Midnight Sun <\/em>is not aiming to be a serious piece of art pop, it\u2019s just a slice of dance-pop for the girlies! You hate fun!!<\/em>\u201d But the thing is, when Larsson lets loose on the real bangers here, it\u2019s transcendent. <\/em>Lead single \u201cPretty Ugly\u201d is potentially the most obnoxious song I\u2019ve ever heard, and I\u2019m fucking obseessseddd <\/em>with it. The song immediately enters the canon of startlingly<\/a> loud<\/a> pop<\/a> bangers<\/a>, with Zara chanting \u201cHAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PRETTY GIRL GET UG-LY LIKE THIS?!!! \/  NAS-TEE LIKE THIS?!?!? \/ LOSING HER SHITTT!\u201d The song is a bracing, clanging, demonic pop maelstrom fit for a psycho cheerleader routine. You have no choice but to love it. The should-be single \u201cHot & Sexy\u201d is similarly brilliant, with an XCXian breakdown in the song’s final leg, and a brilliant Tiffany \u201cNew York\u201d Pollard sample. I look forward to hearing it during sloppy drunk nights at Legacy, which is exactly what good, simple, pop music should make you do. The issue with Midnight Sun <\/em>is that you can\u2019t help but feel like the concept of \u201cWhat if you made Zara Larsson fierce<\/em>\u201d was thought up before any of the songs were made. Don\u2019t get me wrong, it\u2019s by far Zara\u2019s best work, and a pop album that will no doubt do numbers with circuit gays, but it\u2019s missing a certain edge. Its camp does not look you right in the eye, it fearfully winks. Part of the issue is timing; this album practically begs <\/em>to be released during Pride Month, but perhaps this was intentional. The core statement of the album is the pre-chorus to the title track: \u201cSummer isn\u2019t over yet.\u201d <\/em>All over Midnight Sun, <\/em>Larsson seeks to evoke ravey, European summer euphoria, and when she gets it right, she really <\/em>gets it right. But there\u2019s fear all over this album. And we can all sense it. Zara is an incredibly talented performer and vocalist; her dance moves executed perfectly, her notes perfectly supported, but the best moments on this album are when she gets messy.<\/em> If Zara leans into the trashiness on the next album, she\u2019ll soar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
