Zara Larsson has shared her experiences winning a Swedish talent show aged 10.In a new interview with The Guardian, Larsson opened up about winning Talang as a young child, and its impact on her music career. Talang is part of the popular Got Talent series, and Larsson won with her rendition of Celine Dion‘s ‘My Heart Will Go On’.“Back then, I never really had any worries or doubts about being successful, because I knew deep in my soul that I was destined to be an entertainer, which is why I entered Talang,” Larsson shared. “The only thing I was worried about was the speed with which I might get that success.“After the show, I presumed it would be like: boom! I’m going to get signed, I’m going to be a superstar! But nothing happened for four years.“I found that very stressful, and worried my career might be over.
I went back to normality.”Larsson recently released her new album ‘Venus‘, and spoke to NME about the album in a new interview earlier this month. She opened up about collaborating with producer Rick Nowels (whose credits also include Madonna and Lana Del Rey).“Rick is a very, very, very stubborn person and so am I,” she said. “He would say, ‘I don’t like that,’ and I would say, ‘Well, I like that.’ We would do that back and forth,’” she continues.
“At first, it was hard to vibe with him, but… he’s special. I learned so much about myself and songwriting. I really enjoyed that he expected stuff from me.
