Zara Larsson’s *Midnight Sun* is getting a deluxe rework called *Midnight Sun: Girls Trip*, with PinkPantheress, Kehlani, Shakira and Tyla attached as featured artists. (music.apple.com) Apple Music lists *Midnight Sun: Girls Trip* as a 20-song pre-release scheduled for May 1, 2026. Spotify also shows the project as an upcoming Zara Larsson album with the same May 1 release date and 20-track count. (music.apple.com) (open.spotify.com) The original *Midnight Sun* album arrived on September 26, 2025 as Larsson’s fifth studio album, with 10 tracks. The deluxe listing doubles that count, suggesting a companion disc or expanded remake built around the existing record. (en.wikipedia.org) (music.apple.com) That format follows a pop playbook that has become more common in the streaming era: extend an album cycle with new versions, added guests and a fresh release date instead of starting a new campaign from scratch. Larsson had already hinted in early-April fan-circulated footage that her deluxe edition would lean into collaborations and reworked songs. (music.apple.com) (youtube.com) The guest list also widens the album’s reach across distinct pop lanes. PinkPantheress brings U.K. club-pop, Kehlani brings rhythm-and-blues crossover, Shakira brings global Latin pop scale, and Tyla arrives with recent Afropop and amapiano momentum. (music.apple.com) The original album had a brief chart run in Britain in October 2025, peaking at No. 36 on the Official Albums Chart and No. 17 on the Official Albums Chart Update. A deluxe edition with four high-profile collaborators gives Larsson a new opening to push the same era back onto playlists and charts. (officialcharts.com) For now, the streaming services confirm the project’s name, size and release date, but not the full public tracklist on the deluxe disc. The immediate takeaway is simpler: Larsson is reopening the *Midnight Sun* campaign on May 1 with a larger cast and a second shot at the album’s 2026 run. (music.apple.com) (open.spotify.com)
