Robyn and Zara Larsson Reunite for New Collaboration ‘Talk To Me, Zara’

Robyn and Zara Larsson have joined forces on “Talk To Me, Zara,” a new collaborative single that reworks a track from Robyn’s latest album. The song is a new version of “Talk To Me,” originally featured on Robyn’s Sexistential — her ninth studio album, released in March. Larsson remixed the pulsing, Max Martin-co-produced original and added her own verse. The two Swedish stars debuted the track live at Copenhagen’s Royal Arena on July 14, when Robyn brought Larsson out as a surprise guest on the final night of the European leg of her Sexistential tour. “Talk To Me, Zara” marks the second collaboration between the pair, with Larsson returning a favor: Robyn contributed a new mix of “Puss Puss” to Larsson’s remix album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, released in May, which also featured reworkings from PinkPantheress, Shakira, Tyla, Kehlani and Madison Beer. Sexistential was Robyn’s first album since 2018’s Honey and was accompanied by her first major headline tour since 2019. Robyn’s biggest cultural touchstone, “Dancing on My Own”, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording in 2011. For Larsson, the collaboration arrives during a career upswing in the U.S. Her signature stateside hit remains 2015’s “Never Forget You” with MNEK, which peaked at No. 13 on the Hot 100, while “Ruin My Life” reached No. 20 on Billboard’s Pop Songs chart in 2018. This year she notched her first career Grammy nomination, for “Midnight Sun” in the Best Pop Dance Recording category, and returned to the Hot 100 for the first time in a decade when her 2016 single “Lush Life” went viral, capping one of the strongest chart runs of her career.
