  • Zara Larsson’s hit single “Lush Life” was originally released back in June 2015 but it took a full year for the song to start to buzz. It ended up debuting at No. 97 on the Hot 100 in July 2016-and peaked at No. 2 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. Since its release, it’s been streamed over 500 million times on Spotify and it all came together at a writing camp in Stockholm.

    Can y'all stop hating on Zara?
    Honestly.
    1. She's wearing a retainer, not braces & it actually makes her look really cute
    2. She did sound a bit strange & clueless at times but you still shouldn't insult her and call her dumb
    Plus her voice is actually incredible & she's so so talented. Her music is awesome.
    Stop giving her shit.

    She's a total goofball by the look of it; it's nice to see a rising star not take themselves too seriously. For everyone saying she's "talking black", keep in mind that even though she's in Sweden there's a lot of American pop culture that goes around the world--most of which is black. And her team is probably a lot of black people in it too.

      +Kiara Shepard Maybe by that she didn't mean that it's not her accent. Most people from another country at one point have a really strong accent when they speak English but they try really hard to hide it and may get something sounding like how she does. A lot of people don't like their accents so they try their hardest to not have one. And this is probably the closest she's gonna get. And she might've not used to talk like this, but clearly this is how she talks now.

      Kay cass That’s true. I’m from Turkey and whenever I speak English, I try to do a British accent because if I don’t, I’m afraid people will make fun of me.

    • @samuel2pac72
      @samuel2pac72 7 років тому +10

      No it's words like ''boo thang'' and they way she deliberately chose to speak with a twang, it's black. She's Swedish I am half I am fluent in the langue too in the same accent. Lastly I would just call it black ghetto, or even southern, terminology is black and twang would be southern.

      @crystiniaelarguioui5218 7 років тому +42

      sweden has ghettos wtf are you saying. i grew up in sweden i saw ghettos with my own eyes at one point we even lived in one. what i meant tho is the ghettos in america, where i live now. there are whites, blacks, asians etc. living in ghettos, talking street. ghettos are more associated with black people because of what ever reason, but all in once there are more poor white people in america than black (there are also more white people in america in general but yeah). not every black person is from the ghetto, thanks for insulting half of my ethnicity.

    • @samuel2pac72
      @samuel2pac72 7 років тому +3

      I am Latino and Swedish i.e. white lmao, and why would it be an insult for white people to say that are not systematically oppressed? They're not btw. Sweden does not have fucking Ghettos, Tensta and Rinkeby are not a fucking ghettos, I am not bullshiting you when I state these facts about me, since you're Swedish too we can converse in Swedish just to prove to you lmao, I can talk ''orten svenska också bree'' I speak 3 langues fluently. ''ghettos are more associated with black people because of what ever reason'' there's definitely a reason for this baby girl. Yes there are trail park Trump supporting whites, they're not systematically oppressed however. On a lighter note ma, where in the states are you from, I'm from Harlem, NY.

    I love Zara (as a Swede I'm really proud of her) but I still feel it's kinda unnecessary to have her songs on here since the lyrics aren't metaphorical at all, there's really nothing to not understand, haha. And since she don't write the songs herself it feels a bit weird to me having her sitting there talking about the lyrics like she did write them.
