Zara Larsson’s new holiday EP, Honor the Light, is the perfect record to get you in the holiday spirit. Larsson gives us a brand new track “Memory Lane”, which is the most outstanding and catchy track on the album. Here the new track below:
Multi-platinum global pop phenomenon Zara Larsson released her new holiday EP, Honor The Light via Sommer House/Epic Records. From good times to seasonal gloom, each track on the festive collection nods to a different aspect of the holiday season. The project is set to play a pivotal role in Zara’s upcoming holiday performances in Sweden — also titled Honor The Light — on December 8 and 9 in Stockholm and December 16 in Skellefetea. Get the EP HERE.
Just last week, Zara gave fans a first taste of the music with the release of the original song “Memory Lane” (which Uproxx praised as “vulnerable”) and a reimagining of “Winter Song” by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. In addition, the EP features covers of “Silent Night” and the Swedish song “Tänd Ett Ljus” (which Zara also recorded in English, “Light A Candle.”). See the full track listing below.
The holiday EP comes as Zara enjoys massive success with “On My Love,” her smash hit collaboration with David Guetta, and readies the release of her fourth studio album. Titled Venus, the LP will arrive on February 9, 2024. The Swedish songstress has also announced the details of an upcoming spring UK and European headlining tour. Dubbed The Venus Tour, tickets are on sale now. See the full itinerary below and keep an eye out for North American live shows in the new year.
The Honor The Light EP release will cap a stellar year for the Swedish hitmaker. The first single off of Venus — “Can’t Tame Her” — has already made waves with its anthemic, empowering message. The track spent over 16 weeks in the UK Top 40, reached number 3 on iTunes, and number 1 on US Dance Radio: a run that was made all the sweeter because it’s also Larsson’s first release on her own Sommer House label, following a landmark deal with Sony and Epic Records which saw the still-just-25-year-old take control of her entire recording catalog. This summer, Zara also dropped “End of Time,” a moving depiction of a visit with her younger self—stunningly brought to life by the accompanying music video.
And two months ago, her latest single with David Guetta, “On My Love,” was crowned the highest debuting record of 2023 at Dance Radio. Just four weeks later, the song reached #1 on the chart, making it the country’s biggest dance record. Now, with this dizzying flurry of hits and plans in the works, Zara has somehow found time to make the holidays extra special with Honor the Light, a yuletide release for the ages.
