What's next for Zara Larsson?

Zara Larsson's last album VENUS was released in February 2024 and was an instant hit. In spite of the continued success of her albums, Zara has maintained a distinctive approach to her career, often taking substantial breaks between album releases, a trait that has allowed her to continue to evolve as an artist. Her upcoming album presents a marked shift from her multi-year breaks and has generated a lot of buzz from fans for this very reason.

Speculation about Zara Larsson's upcoming album has been building since the conclusion of her VENUS era. While details about her upcoming album have been kept under wraps, the latest teaser has done a great job of building on that hype by offering fans the first glimpse into its sound. As fans await the updates about the release of her upcoming album, Zara will be seen as one of the supporting acts on Tate McRae's Miss Possessive Tour.
