How did you get connected with Epic Records? And what is it like to work with L.A. Reid?

Zara: Well, basically I was already signed to a label in Sweden, and we were talking about getting an international deal 'cause that's what I wanted to do because I want to be a superstar. So we met a lot of different record labels under the sun, basically. And we just really liked Epic and L.A. Reid; and it just felt good. You know when it just feels good in your gut? And you can just tell that this is gonna be good? That's basically what it felt like. So I signed for Epic, and I'm really happy about that. 'Cause now it feels like things are finally happening. Stars are aligned. And it's just the right time.
