Zara Larsson x Young Thug – “Talk About Love”

As she preps for the release of her upcoming album Poster Girl, Zara Larsson enlisted Young Thug for the single “Talk About Love.” Produced by Mike Sabath, the energetic cut hears the pop artist on the same wavelength with the YSL Records head’s melodic verse. “’Talk About Love’ is about that phase before two people work out what they are to one another,” Larsson explained in a statement. “That specific window is so beautiful and fragile, as soon as you start asking ‘are we doing this?’ or ‘how do *you* feel?’, for some people that ruins the magic. ‘Talk About Love’ is savoring that moment before you have to decide.”
