]]>Tove Lo’s latest music video was directed by Ayaka Ohira, and it brought back her robot lover Annie from the music video for “No One Dies From Love”. Ohira helped the singer craft a futuristic, cyberpunk world, where Tove and Annie hold onto each other as their planet comes under attack.
Tove Lo said she couldn’t wait for her fans to witness the beautiful world created by Ayaka Ohira and feel all the creativity and hard work that went into it.
“I’m so honored to have the final chapter of me and Annie take place in this Universe. It’s been such an amazing experience watching this come to life by Ayaka and her team, and the fact that my character gets to be a part of the heroines in Galverse is so god damn cool,” wrote the singer in a statement on YouTube.
Tove Lo produced “I Like U” alongside Timfromthehouse, who previously produced several songs from her last album Dirt Femme, drawing inspiration from ‘90s and Y2K-era dance music.

]]>The post Tove Lo Drops New EP Consisting of Acoustic Versions of “Dirt Femme” Songs appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The new EP feature stripped-down renditions of Tove Lo’s singles “No One Dies from Love”, “Call On Me”, “How Long”, and “Grapefruit”. She also shared acoustic versions of songs “Suburbia” and “Pineapple Slice”, and made room for her latest release “Borderline”, which she originally wrote with Dua Lipa.
The stripped-down versions were recorded everywhere from Brazil to France, and she couldn’t wait to share them with her fans.
“You’ve asked me for an acoustic album so I thought… why shouldn’t I give you what you want?? These are all emotional one takes recorded all over the world… at soundcheck, at home or elsewhere… Thank you to everyone who made these possible,” she wrote on Instagram.
Dirt Femme was released via Tove Lo’s own label Pretty Swede Records in October last year, and it was met with positive critical reception. She’s currently supporting the album with a world tour, which includes concerts across Europe, North America, and Australia.

]]>Lo’s latest single draws inspiration from the film of the same name, and it’s the song about “destructive love at its best and worst”. It serves as the third single on her upcoming album Dirt Femme, and it was preceded by songs “How Long” and “No One Dies From Love”.
What separates Dirt Femme from Lo’s previous album is the fact it will be released through her own label Pretty Swede Records, after she decided to part ways with Island Records earlier this year.
“It’s my fifth album, and I built this platform and have these very dedicated human beings who are with me. I wanted to do things in a different way, and I felt like the only way I’m going to be able to do exactly what I want is if I just do it on my own,” the singer told NME.
Dirt Femme will hit the shelves on October 14, and it’s set to feature a total of 12 tracks, including collaborations with Channel Tres, First Aid Kit, and SG Lewis.

]]>“I was definitely going through some sh*t on Lady Wood and Blue Lips,” Lo told Billboard, referencing her second and third albums, respectively. “I was working through it for everyone to watch, but that’s just how I deal with everything. This album is written from a calmer place so, naturally, it’s me looking out instead of looking in.”
She then went on to explain the reason behind the bleakness of her music in that period: “It was a very dramatic relationship that ended very horribly, so that broke me a lot.”
“This feels like a clean slate,” she said about her new album. “It’s also a way of being able to observe myself and a relationship without feeling so much anger. Kind of admitting to your own flawed sides without being frustrated with them.”
Listen to Lo’s single “Glad He’s Gone” off of the new album below. Let’s be honest — it’s still a bit dark. But as Einstein is sure to agree, light is a relative concept.

]]>The post Tove Lo Promises Her New Record Will Be “Happier” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The Swedish singer is best known for her big hit “Stay High” which is a club banger but also a bit of a downer. Her fourth album, fittingly titled “Sunshine Kitty”, will be far more upbeat.
“I think they can expect a little bit of a happier side of me,” she told Gay Times. “There’s definitely some club bangers on there, but some of it is a bit more acoustic. Maybe it’s because I’ve been living in LA for a while, or that I’m in a great relationship so I’m just happy at the moment!”
She added: “It’s still vulnerable and honest and dirty at times, but I think it’s a bit sunnier.”
With regards to the album’s themes, Tove Lo has revealed that the record will reflect her current situation, living in LA with her partner.
“All of my albums reflect where I am at in my life and what I’ve been going through, so I think instead of me being… I used to get scared about being vulnerable, but now I’m more accepting of it,” she explained. “It’s definitely nice to have friends to lean on – it’s a lot about friendship.”
Sunshine Kitty‘s release date is yet to be announced but has been confirmed for 2019.

]]>The new bold, empowering song Glad He’s Gone was released last Friday and it amazed her global fan base. Co-produced by Shellback and Struts, the song has a real potential to become a summer hit with its catchy sound and memorable lyrics, backed up by an addictive rhythm.
The music video starts with a cartoon featuring a lynx which the singer says is an extension of herself because Lo means lynx in Swedish. As she explains, the lynx in the video is “super cute” but does silly stuff like “getting in fights and getting f***ed up”, which is how she perceives her new album.
In a press release, she said that we have all been on both sides of a breakup pep talk with our friends and that we all know how good it feels to get your partner in crime back when they finally leave that idiot behind.
