Zara Larsson – Blue Moon

Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson keeps her “Midnight Sun” era rolling as she unwraps “Blue Moon,” a soft single for patient fans. The record sits at track two on the album and serves as its fourth single. She wrote it in Jamaica after spotting a gorgeous moon there, while her boyfriend, Lamin Holmén, inspired the lyrics. Warm tones float over quick drum and bass rhythms, so the beat keeps moving. MNEK co-produced the album, and the electronic touch runs through it. Also, the synths leave space for her voice. Zara glides over the beat with a soft, confident vocal. She stretches the notes on the chorus, but she never rushes the lines. The lyrics celebrate rare love, because a blue moon is hard to catch. Charlotte Rutherford directs the video, where Zara appears as a mermaid and a fairy. Zara admits the song isn’t big on streaming yet, so she’s asking fans to push it.
