Watched the Zara Larsson film on Prime yesterday - v interesting to see a popstar doc that’s not about someone at the height of success, but someone frustrated by the fact that she’s not. Obviously I’ve been streaming Midnight Sun all day.

It’s 2048. Kingdoms have risen and fallen. Climate change has progressed exponentially. The political landscape is unrecognisable. Balvinder and Julian just survived another dance-off

It’s a little more generous to the new album than I would’ve been, but I still found myself nodding and mmming to lots of this. Strong recommend:

I loooove Blue Moon from the Zara Larsson album, and I love that it ends with her saying “let’s get reaaaally messy” so when I’m shuffling my playlist it leads not into Pretty Ugly but into, say, a polite Perrie song

Got to see Here & Now last night and it was so worth the wait 🥹 The set, cast, story, atmosphere and (of course) the music …. incredible! If you get a chance to see it tonight in Dublin - do it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
