Zara Larsson has transitioned from Epic Records after a 13-year tenure to sign a new contract with RCA Records, confirmed by Variety. Two sources close to the situation revealed that Larsson received multiple offers before choosing RCA, a subsidiary of Sony, which also owns Epic, indicating Sony's interest in retaining her talent.
Larsson's History with Epic
Larsson began her association with Epic Records in 2013, marking her breakthrough with the 2017 international hit album So Good. She continued with Epic for her subsequent albums Poster Girl (2021) and Venus (2024), although they did not achieve significant chart success.
Revival with 'Midnight Sun'
Her fifth studio album, Midnight Sun, released last year, changed her trajectory. The album produced several viral hits, including its title track, a revived interest in her 2015 hit “Lush Life,” and “Stateside,” a collaboration with PinkPantheress. This success catalyzed a world tour, with venue upgrades in Australia due to high demand.
Tour and Remix Album
Currently on tour until November, Larsson managed to release a remix album, Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, in early May. This project features collaborations with artists like Shakira, Kehlani, Tyla, and Robyn, further expanding her audience reach.
Industry Buzz
HitsDailyDouble initially reported her signing with RCA, but representatives from Epic and RCA have remained silent despite multiple requests for comment. Larsson's move to RCA marks a significant step in her evolving career.
