The Stockholm cosmic pop singer-songwriter was in the capital as part of Robyn’s Konichiwa Records Love Is Free party at Red Gallery, which also featured Robyn and Savage Skulls on DJ duties, and photographer and director Sonny Malhotra went behind the scenes for this fantastic special backstage, portrait and live feature. Zhala’s debut self-titled LP was released on 25 May via Konichiwa Records, and you see the video from lead track “Holy Bubbles” here.
