Venus is the upcoming fourth studio album and third international album by Swedish singer Zara Larsson, currently scheduled to be released on 9 February 2024 by Sommer House and Epic.

Background

On 30 December 2022, Larsson announced that her upcoming album was about 70% finished at the time.[1] 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".[2] 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".[3] 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.[4]

Larsson announced the album on 26 October 2023.[5] Venus sees the singer "assume greater ownership" over her output.[6] A press release described the record as a "pop album fit for a goddess" that determines Larsson's "own agenda" partly by "blooking back on where she's come from".[7] It includes the singles "Can't Tame Her", "End of Time" and "On My Love".[8] The album's release is set to be accompanied by a UK and European headline tour, the Venus Tour, in February and March 2024.[9]
