Zara Larsson has released a new Y2K-inspired video for 'Midnight Sun'
Swedish pop star Zara Larsson releases Y2K-inspired video for 'Midnight Sun' and announces extensive international tour supporting her fourth album.
Zara Larsson has released a new video for her single 'Midnight Sun', the title track from her forthcoming album.
The video, drawing inspiration from Swedish summers, features a saturated, hyperreal aesthetic that pays homage to Y2K maximalism. The track was created with collaborator MNEK, producers Margo XS and Zhone, and songwriter Helena Gao.
"I really am proud of my Swedish pop heritage, so I wanted to write about a Swedish summer where the sun never goes down," Larsson says. "I wanted the whole album to feel like it's a summer night and it never ends. And it doesn't matter if it's December: the summer night will be there for you. It's waiting for you, it will come back for you, and you will come back for it."
"Throughout Midnight Sun, I get to just capture that total Scandinavian vibe, which is something that I have grown up with—it's a huge part of me, my happiest memories and my saddest ones, too. A part of my soul is a Swedish summer night. This record encompasses that, how life is so beautiful it makes you cry," she adds. "It just feels like me—knowing myself, this album is just really, really me. And also, no one can do me the way I can."
