Venus is the upcoming fourth studio and the third international album by Swedish singer Zara Larsson, scheduled to be released on 9 February 2024 by Sommer House and Epic. It will be preceded by the singles "Can't Tame Her", “End of Time” and “On My Love”, a collaboration with David Guetta.

To promote the album, Larsson will embark on a UK and European headline tour, the Venus Tour, starting in February 2024.[1]

Background

On 30 December 2022, Larsson announced that her upcoming album was about 70% finished at the time.[2] For the project, Larsson enlisted songwriters and producers Casey Smith, Rick Nowels and Danja to help her "pin down" the sounds she wanted. Nowels in particular assisted in creating a "foundation" for her new album, enabling her to "do a little bit of this and a little bit of that".[3] In an interview with the Official Charts Company in April 2023, she told fans to expect "uptempo, fun dance songs" as well as the "emotional balance". Larsson referred to the project as a "full-on rollercoaster ride of emotion".[4] In May 2023, she described the record as "super fun" and summed it up as a "collection of really good music", ranging from ballads to "dancey" tracks.[5]

Larsson announced the album on 26 October 2023.[6] Venus sees the singer "assume greater ownership" over her output.[7] A press release described the record as a "pop album fit for a goddess" that determines Larsson's "own agenda" partly by "looking back on where she's come from".[8] It includes the singles "Can't Tame Her", "End of Time" and "On My Love".[9] The album's release is set to be accompanied by a UK and European headline tour, the Venus Tour, in February and March 2024.[10]

Singles

Venus's lead single, "Can't Tame Her", was released on 26 January 2023 alongside its music video.[11][12] The song entered the top five and top ten in Sweden and Norway, respectively, and peaked within the top ten of four other territories' airplay charts. The album's second single, "End of Time", was released on 19 May 2023, with a music video premiering the next day.[13]

"On My Love" was released as Venus's third single on 15 September 2023.[14] Her second collaboration with David Guetta, the song reached top three in Sweden and also became Larsson's first top twenty hit in the United Kingdom since "Ruin My Life" peaked at nine in 2019.[15] "You Love Who You Love" will be released as Venus's fourth single on 19 January 2024.
