The album debuted at #3 in her home country Sweden and #12 in the UK. So Good reached #1 and #7, respectively, in these two markets. Considering "Love Me Land," "WOW," and "Talk About Love" all failed to crack the singles chart, #12 in the UK is pretty good. I wish she didn't debut behind the Melodifestivalen 2021 compilation album in Sweden, lol. but I'll take #3.

Jesus. Looks like Ryder & AB will be having a talk
Good for Zara, though. She deserves better. I also don’t know why he’s making fun of her arms but saying she should also gain weight? Leave the bitch alone. She looks fine

OK, at first I was like this girl doesn't even have a thread?! Anyway, never heard her music before, stumbled upon performances of WOW including the EMAs and...um...why is she not bigger?? Plus, she works with big names. I will be checking for her.

Yeah, this album is very good. Also, she is SINGING. I like the production, too. I root for her. I will say though: this gives me debut album vibes. I automatically assumed it was her first album, so I think she has a way to go if she wants to make a classic. Right now, I get early Rihanna vibes, like pre-GGGB, but I feel like she is on that edge.
My faves: 1. What Happens Here (come through, Zariana!) 2. Ruin My Life 3. I Need Love 4. WOW 5. Look What You've Done 6. Stick With You

In the US, "Never Forger You" reached #13 on the Hot 100, #5 on pop radio, and is certified 3x platinum. This is unfortunately her only hit, but "Lush Life" and "Ain't My Fault" are both platinum as well (and peaked at #75 and #76 on the Hot 100). Worldwide, she has many... "Lush Life" was her first smash hit, going Top 5 in virtually every country but the US, and was the UK's 6th biggest hit of 2016. "Symphony" is another global smash, having sold more than 11 million worldwide, and another year-end hit in the UK, where it was the 7th biggest song of 2017. It peaked at #1 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, though. :'( In other news, I love this cover:

Apparently the "Right Here" remix is her next single.
The original is one of my least favorite songs on the album. It's not bad but it's not really anything special. "Poster Girl," "Need Someone" and especially "Look What You've Done" would've been better choices IMO.

The version of "I Need Love" featuring Trevor Daniel was an Amazon Original exclusive release, so it has been finally released in the rest of DSPs.

So Good didn't stick with me outside of a few tracks, so I stalled on listening to this and completely forgot it came out. Ended up snatching this up as an impulse buy (my online shopping fingers after a few glasses of wine, NO CONTROL). This is solid! Color me surprised. I like that she upped the tempo and added a little Swedish melody/cheese to the mix.
I still find her rather faceless as an artist though, not sure exactly what she needs to do to push through.

Zara, Zara, Zara... we need to talk. She has so much freaking potential, she just needs some good A&R to whip her into shape. Poster Girl was a step in the right direction. Nothing revolutionary, but you had some quirky bops, some Swedish cheese and some sparkling midtempos. This feels like a step back. All perfectly harmless, but so faceless. "Can't Tame Her" is a nice slice of Pointer Sisters Break Out-style energy. "Escape" is a breezy little bop that has some real potential if the production wasn't so by-the-numbers. All the other uptempos and ballads are... serviceable? But it's all missing that special touch to push it beyond "basic."
This isn't gonna push her career anywhere. She desperately needs someone with a stronger vision to guide her in the right direction.
