Zara Larsson
Mar 20, 2016
"Never Forget You" is the debut single out now from the Swedish singer Zara Larsson and British singer, MNEK. The track can be found on her debut EP out now via Epic Records. Its video has received over 75 million views to date.
When asked about working with MNEK, Larsson explained, "That was basically my very first session. I was not a writer, but I really wanted to write. Before I signed the publishing deal that I've signed now, I was like, 'maybe I should try it out before I sign something.' I didn't know if I was good or bad. I had never done it. So we brought MNEK in because I know that he is a great writer and he produces too. So we got in the studio, which was basically set up by the labels. It was just such a vibey day and the song basically wrote itself. It took two hours and then we had a new song. It was like, "Wow! Is it that easy to write a song?"
The eighteen-year-old received national fame for winning the 2008 season of the talent show Talang, the Swedish version of America's Got Talent. Zara signed with the record label TEN Music Group in 2010 and went on to release her debut EP "Introducing", in 2013. The single "Uncover" topped the charts in Sweden and Norway. Larsson has also recently shared three new remixes of "Lush Life," one of the Best Songs of 2015, and four brand-new music videos. They are part of a promotion with the cosmetics company Clinique, which is launching four makeup lines based around acoustic, dance, country, and pop themes - which just so happen to be Larsson's three new remixes and the bubbly original.
