"Zara Larsson gives up on the winter darkness and instead brings in a full band plus six dancers to a stage that breathes Swedish summer," writes Anders Dahlbom in Expressen about the concert at Avicii Arena in Stockholm and gives her four out of five wasps.
Aftonbladet's Markus Larsson is not quite as impressed. The pop star gets three out of five pluses and he describes the concert as magical but off-putting. "Eurosummer" from the latest album is "mostly like a happy interlude in ESC", he writes. But notes that Zara Larsson's songs are better live than on Spotify - not least the early ballad "Uncover".
"That's where the phone clocks stop for a few minutes."
Dagens Nyheter seems to long for Zara Larsson's early years and when "the feminist from Tallkrogen was one of the country's most outspoken, fearless pop stars". The newspaper's Frida Söderqvist writes that the colorful appearance takes the edge off the strong personality.
"All in all, though, the show is as cheerfully invigorating as a triple espresso – with glitter on top."
SVT, which in addition to live reporting during the concert, produced the clip "How do I succeed with Zara Larsson makeup?", has had Tina Mehrafzoon, music journalist at P3, summarize the evening . She believes, as many commentators have done for several years, that Zara Larsson is now well on her way to breaking through big and truly internationally. This evening was the best for those who saw Zara Larsson for the first time, she says.
"This is a fantastic first impression. The voice has always been there but the warmth is the best thing"
