Photographer: Marc Regas. Living up to its title, So Good -- the sophomore set from Swedish singer Zara Larsson -- arrived after a two-year promotional rollout that followed the release of her debut, 2014's 1. Her slow climb toward the upper pop strata occupied by Rihanna, Sia, and Tove Lo -- the artists whose vocals Larsson most closely echoes -- began in 2015 with the quadruple-platinum number one single "Lush Life," an effective dose of tropical pop that rides the surf with a playful whistle and undeniable bounce. Quickly following with the skittering staccato of MNEK duet "Never Forget You," Larsson scored another hit. Two subsequent album highlights -- the bass-blasted "Ain't My Fault" and "I Would Like" -- provided additional examples of her strong voice and confident attitude. By the time fifth single -- the Ty Dolla $ign-featuring, Charlie Puth-penned title track -- arrived in 2017, a third of So Good had been unveiled. Despite the significant time gap, So Good remains a tight vision full of romantic drama, youthful abandon, and a strong sense of female empowerment. "TG4M" ("too good for me") basks in the sun with a pina colada in hand, part of a Girl's Only weekend with Daya and Hailee Steinfeld, while the WizKid-featuring, Stargate-produced "Sundown" invites Sia to the moonlight island party. When the party ends, the uplifting "What They Say" provides a comforting shoulder to lean on. Amongst the feel-good party jams, heartfelt surprises provide more emotional sustenance. "Make That Money Girl" is a slow-builder that turns the bad gal toughness of Rihanna into a girl power anthem with a message that demands self-reliance and vision, going so far as reminding listeners that "you can be the next female president." When Larsson delves even deeper, the results are refreshing. Album closer "I Can't Fall in Love Without You" is a beautiful sendoff. Set to Jesper Nordenstrom's piano accompaniment, the track is a sweeping and heartfelt expression, the most vulnerable and pure on So Good. Fun and engaging, Larsson made one of the better pop albums of 2017. Like contemporaries Daya, Steinfeld, Bebe Rexha, and Dua Lipa, Larsson delivers polished R&B-influenced pop gems that shine bright like diamonds while maintaining a too-cool-for-school factor that helps to distinguish her from the bubblegum. ~ Neil Z.

欧州を中心にスマッシュ・ヒットしたエレクトロ・ハウス曲"Lush Life"や、全米チャートでも上位に喰い込んだ"Never Forget You"から待つこと1年。スウェーデンの新星がようやくメジャー進出作を発表した。後者のシングルで絡んだMNEKとの再タッグほか、チャーリー・プースがアーバンな表題曲の共作/プロデュースを手掛け、エド・シーランも楽曲提供。ウィズキッドを招いた"Sundown"ではレゲエにも挑戦し、さらにクリーン・バンディットとの"Symphony"までボートラ収録……と世界を股に掛けるヴァラエティー豊かな内容でありながら、北欧らしい透明感を失っていないのが最大の魅力だ。声量もあれば音感も抜群、しかも妙に背伸びをしない歌声が19歳らしくて好感度大。シンプルでスタイリッシュなこの多機能ポップ盤を聴けば、スウェーデンが国を挙げて大騒ぎしているのも頷けよう。〈サマソニ〉来日が決まり、日本でもロングセラーを記録しそうな予感!
