I know you're on a sold out tour right now
with Tate McCrae.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
How has it been going so good?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I just can't express how good it feel.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Honestly, I'm having the time of my life just to
be on the stage in front of all these people,
doing my smaller version of my set and show, but
still giving them a good chunk of what the energy
at a Zara Larson concert would feel like. It's been incredible.
(01:22):
It really has been. The crowd's been really giving it.
I feel the love. I feel so excited to perform
my new songs.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
As well that I've been doing. So it's a ten
out of ten.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
That is so awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, I know you are insanely busy right now, so
thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Any time.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Before we talk music, let's get to know Zara Larson
a little better with Finkey's favorites. I'm ready, now, what
is your favorite song to sing in the shower that
isn't a Zara Larson song?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I thought you were gonna ask me favorite song of
all time? And I was like, come on, I learned Zara,
Come on.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Okay, favorite song right now? Ooh?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Like I add so many ones to my playlist. Let
me take up, let me take up my plate.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
See what I added? Oh? You know what I love?
I really like Kitchen by Sisa.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
And then I've been listening listening a lot of Life
is a Highway.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Now the original or the Rascal Flats Flats because it
was who was the original? It was like somebody Cochrane,
wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I don't know right now, that's the one I know.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It makes me feel so like, it just makes me
feel excited. And then there's a whole bunch of like Beyonce.
There's a whole bunch of Disney. There's some ooh like
the the David get us.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Uh now that the love is gone, what are we
supposed to do? No? Is it? And that it's sambo
that's about listen.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I love Chris Willis, but I'm just saying there might
be a remake here absolutely now complete side note. When
you're not performing, do you sing Zara Larson songs to yourself?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Sometimes I feel like the older I get, I feel
like when I was younger, I started off so young,
and I think I was a little I was definitely
not embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But I think I maybe it's.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Like the Swedish culture and soul of it all that
it's like, oh, no, I'm not special, don't look at me.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm oh, it's nothing. Yeah, I'm releasing music.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah it goes to number one, but it's nothing special
about that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Likes that's very like Swedish culture. So I think when.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I was younger, I was a bit more shy about
like talking about my music with even my friends, or
when someone wasn't interviewing me or singing my songs or
listening to my songs even But now you know, I
can be in the car, I can be in the
house and I'll like put on a song, like I've
added some songs that I love to my playlist from
my previous work, and I'm like when it comes on
(04:10):
on a shuffle, you know, I'm.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Like, hey, turn it up.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You're like, who is this?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
So I'm definitely getting more into it because I love
what I do, and I think what I release and
what I sing and you know, put out into the
world for others to hear, Like I'm proud of that.
So now I really just embraced my songs like I
love them.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I do sing them on nice.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Now, as I mentioned, you're on a sold out tour
with Tate McCrae right now. We're actually taping this before
one of your shows on show days. Do you have
a favorite thing to do besides chatting with me?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Of course, of course that's my number one.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
What's your number two?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
It might be Honestly, I kind of like to come
to the arena a little bit earlier, start, you know,
hair and makeup. Just kidding, Like, I love to be
around my girls, I have my dancers around I have. Yeah,
it's like a really solid group of girls, my inner technician,
(05:14):
the you know, the tour manager on the road. Like,
we're all just a bunch of really fun girls, So
I like to just hang around them, gotcha my makeup
next to them, not feeling stressed. I think a show
day is usually quite calm in that sense, Like the
biggest event of the day is the show, So whatever
I need to do to get ready for that, I
(05:36):
just like to take my time a bit more because
I'm always I'm such a last minute girl. So it's
nice to like, Okay, now we're all gonna go together
and get ready like three hours before. And that's something
that's new for me, and.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I really like it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
See I knew I loved you for a reason because
I'm a procrastinator too. But when I've got like important
stuff like an appearance or something, I love getting there
early so I don't feel rushed, so I can just
relax take everything inton.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
It doesn't matter if we're five hours early.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
There's something, there's something that will make use no no good,
my skirt?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Put my skirt?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Why are we like this?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Finally, in Finky's Favorites, in honor of your smash Crush,
It's got the lyrics I live my day as if
it was the last. If you knew that today was
your last day on the planet, what would be your
favorite thing to do.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I think there's the beauties in the simplicity of life. Honestly,
I would love for it to be a beautiful, beautiful sunrise.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I would watch that.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I would really try to carapdam to catch the day.
I was like, what, yeah, I mean I seen that
post society.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, carpe dium. Absolutely, is that not what they.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Say that I make that up. I would like patch
of the day.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I would like to see the sunrise, have a really
really yummy food.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Honestly, I think I would just sit.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Around outside with my friends and family and have lunch.
The ghosts into a long dinner that goes into then
a beautiful sunset. Or maybe it's the summertime in Sweden
so the sun actually never set.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's amazing in the midnight sun.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
That sounds like a beautiful last day, just like.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That, hang around with the people I love.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Well, let's make a concert, one last one last concert,
one last concert.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Go out with a bang. Let's talk about this smash.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You know it blew my mind to see the amazing
em and e K was one of the co writers
on it.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
How Crush Born.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So me and Emini K.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
We have worked together for so long, we go all
the way back to twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I think we wrote our first song and then we
released it a bit later.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Never Forget You was that song, and that was the
first song that I ever wrote, So he was really
a part of, like a big chunk of my history
as an artist and writer. And I remember walking away
from that session feeling, wow, wow, Wow, this was a smash.
Isn't this easy to write songs?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Then? Hell?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
How good?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'm good?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
But I think I've realized, after many years of trials
and errors and back and forth, that it's just very,
very easy to write songs with Emini K. Like I
just get in a space where I feel very comfortable
and confident. He has an amazing taste, so I wanted
for him to executively produce my album. So he's been
(08:56):
writing on every song and been producing on every song my.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Album, and Crush is one of my favorites on there.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And it's really a pop banger, Like it's so instant
it just kind of hits you in the face. It's fun,
it's dancy, it's fresh, it sounds big, and it's about
basically having a crush and you're not really supposed to
because you're.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Kind of in a relationship.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Ooh, I start wandering and you're like, oh, this isn't right,
Like I shouldn't feel like this, but I can't. I
just can't help myself, Like why do I think about
this person when I already have someone treating me well
at home? But like, oh, it's just a crush, Like
it's nothing big, It's just a crush. You know, you're
trying to tell yourself, but really you're feeling crushed and
(09:50):
that's why they call it a crush.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Hey, Bay, well that's really awkward. I asked you to
stop writing songs about me, so congrets.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I think you one more out, just one more.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well, congratulations on it.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It is such a smash, And congratulations on the upcoming
album Midnight Sun.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yes, I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Before I let you go, I asked chat Ept to
give me a question that Zara Larson has never been
asked before, So I got to test this out.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
All right, Hey, let's see. I love the version five.
It's good.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I haven't messed with version five yet, but all the
questions that I've gotten are already golden, so I'm basic
with one point zero.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So what's scarier to you?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Making a bad song that people love or making a
great song that no one listens to.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
That's actually a really good question.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
This is actually something I think a lot of artists
are asking themselves a lot, because you know, you want.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
To make stuff that you feel super proud of.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
And I definitely have songs that I feel like deserved
a lot more love and attention that didn't get what
it deserved. But it's not really scary to me because
putting something out that I feel proud of, I just
feel a bit like, oh, that's so sad that not
enough people got to hear it because it's so good
(11:16):
and it's representing who I am, and I think the
people who did connect with it liked it. But then
also releasing a song that I definitely don't like but
everybody else likes. See the thing with that is you
always like it hit. That's just what it is. Right
(11:36):
If I would have released the song and like, I'm like, oh,
I don't know about it, and then it turns out
that it's like the biggest mega smash and everybody loves it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It's number one everywhere. I'm like, I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But it even goes.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
With content because you know, usually the crappiest content now
is getting the most views, when the stuff that we
put so much work into it gets like five or
six views.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
No, you never, you truly never know the algorithm and
how it's going to perform. I think when I post
stuff or when I release stuff, I think I don't
like to overthink it too much. I just put it
out there. Kind of the same with the songs, like
if it feels good, just put it out there. But
I don't think I would release I don't know. I
think it's scarier actually in a way to release something
(12:21):
that I don't like because at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I do want what I put out there to.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Represent me absolutely, and then of course it's fun, you
know if it resonates with people. But if anybody could
have you know, guaranteed a hit, like if you release
the song, we're gonna guarantee you it's going to be,
you know, a.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hit, But you just you just can't do that. Yeah, help,
So that's scary. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I want to release stuff that I'm like I love this,
which I do feel with my album like I love Crush,
I love Midnight Sun, I love Pretty Ugly, and I
love all the songs that are going to come out.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Well. Congratulations on all that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):

and I think I was a little I was definitely

Speaker 2 (03:29):
But I think I maybe it's.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Like the Swedish culture and soul of it all that
it's like, oh, no, I'm not special, don't look at me.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm oh, it's nothing. Yeah, I'm releasing music.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah it goes to number one, but it's nothing special
about that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Likes that's very like Swedish culture. So I think when.

I was younger, I was a bit more shy about

because you're.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Kind of in a relationship.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Ooh, I start wandering and you're like, oh, this isn't right,
Like I shouldn't feel like this, but I can't. I
just can't help myself, Like why do I think about
this person when I already have someone treating me well
at home? But like, oh, it's just a crush, Like
it's nothing big, It's just a crush. You know, you're
trying to tell yourself, but really you're feeling crushed and
(09:50):
that's why they call it a crush.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Hey, Bay, well that's really awkward. I asked you to
stop writing songs about me, so congrets.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I think you one more out, just one more.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well, congratulations on it.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It is such a smash, And congratulations on the upcoming
album Midnight Sun.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yes, I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Before I let you go, I asked chat Ept to
give me a question that Zara Larson has never been
asked before, So I got to test this out.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
All right, Hey, let's see. I love the version five.
It's good.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I haven't messed with version five yet, but all the
questions that I've gotten are already golden, so I'm basic
with one point zero.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So what's scarier to you?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Making a bad song that people love or making a
great song that no one listens to.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
That's actually a really good question.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
This is actually something I think a lot of artists
are asking themselves a lot, because you know, you want.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
To make stuff that you feel super proud of.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
And I definitely have songs that I feel like deserved
a lot more love and attention that didn't get what
it deserved. But it's not really scary to me because
putting something out that I feel proud of, I just
feel a bit like, oh, that's so sad that not
enough people got to hear it because it's so good
(11:16):
and it's representing who I am, and I think the
people who did connect with it liked it. But then
also releasing a song that I definitely don't like but
everybody else likes. See the thing with that is you
always like it hit. That's just what it is. Right
(11:36):
If I would have released the song and like, I'm like, oh,
I don't know about it, and then it turns out
that it's like the biggest mega smash and everybody loves it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It's number one everywhere. I'm like, I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But it even goes.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
With content because you know, usually the crappiest content now
is getting the most views, when the stuff that we
put so much work into it gets like five or
six views.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
No, you never, you truly never know the algorithm and
how it's going to perform. I think when I post
stuff or when I release stuff, I think I don't
like to overthink it too much. I just put it
out there. Kind of the same with the songs, like
if it feels good, just put it out there. But
I don't think I would release I don't know. I
think it's scarier actually in a way to release something
(12:21):
that I don't like because at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I do want what I put out there to.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Represent me absolutely, and then of course it's fun, you
know if it resonates with people. But if anybody could
have you know, guaranteed a hit, like if you release
the song, we're gonna guarantee you it's going to be,
you know, a.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hit, But you just you just can't do that. Yeah, help,
So that's scary. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I want to release stuff that I'm like I love this,
which I do feel with my album like I love Crush,
I love Midnight Sun, I love Pretty Ugly, and I
love all the songs that are going to come out.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Well. Congratulations on all that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Congratulations on the tour right now, Zara Larson, it is
always great seeing you. Thank you so much for your
