Zara Larsson Sings A Beyonce Medley, Talks Debut LP
Zara Larsson is a loud and proud member of the Bey Hive. When she’s not stanning for the Queen on Twitter, she’s mentioning her in interviews and now covering her songs. The 18-year-old belted out an a capella medley of Beyonce’s hits during a recent photo shoot for Harper’s Bazaar (watch it above). The Swedish pop star mixes “Six Inch,” “Sorry,” “Diva” and unfairly forgotten B’Day gem “Kitty Kat” together without missing a beat. Where did her obsession come from?
“I think I saw her, the first time, on the cover of her Dangerously In Love album in the glittery top, and my first thought was, ‘Who is that model?'” Zara explains. “I thought she was so beautiful and I didn’t even know she was a singer. Then I bought that album and I bought B’Day. And she had a lot of videos on B’Day, so I would just watch that on my DVD player on repeat… she’s very smart and clever and she seems so humble and sweet and hard working and that is really an inspiration to me. She is giving it her all she’s got the whole package.”
As for her own career, the teenager will finally drop her long-delayed debut LP in early 2016. “It’s coming in January,” she promises. “I have been pushing it for literally a year. It was supposed to come out February 2016 and I was like, it’s coming out summer, it’s coming out after summer, it’s coming out in the fall, and then in the winter.” What can we expect from the opus? “It’s a little mixed. It’s pop but there are some rhythmic songs, some dance songs, some ballads. I think that everyone will like at least one song.”
