When you hear the song “Lush Life”, you can’t deny you’re thinking you’re listening to a new Rihanna song. It’s in the pronunciation and tone of voice. The only reason I knew it wasn’t Rihanna was because the overall concept of the song is weaker, than I would expect from Rihanna at this stage in her career. The lyrics are a little too sweet, I think, for Rihanna.
But, still, only hearing the song , I had pictured the singer to be like a Rihanna lookalike. Zara Larsson did not meet that expectation of all.
In the video, she looks like she’s the white blond girl, that could be living next door to you. A bit shy even. She doesn’t have an outspoken fashion style or look. And it actually looks like she’s just kind of dancing on her own a little bit, but even that, shows no sign of a great dancer inside her.
