Tove Lo (from Stockholm, Sweden)

it took me a little bit but disco tits rules, definitely my favourite single from her

can anyone link me to a quality version of disco tits (just the audio, not the video) for year end mixing purposes...

i heard "disco tits" twice on a (dance-formatted) terrestrial station, 'nipples' was backmasked ofc. the first time the dj actually announced it as "disco tits" but i guess that was a no-no b/c the next time they just called it "disco"

Love her newest record, just seems to hit the right buttons

Last record is such a weird journey. How many records one two punch like that and go super low key, almost like the intro is a red herring

New single coming on Friday and album later this year

Guys. Meet #SunshineKitty. She’s a little freaky.

This collab w/ Kylie for her upcoming record is a dream come true:

i love the lyrics but a big fan of the juxtaposition of awkward scando english phrasing and lurid queer slutpositivity in her music. also i first misheard that one line as ‘only one dick that’s obama’ and it still makes me giggle each time

man…really feelin' "really don't like you"…too bad she (evidently) couldn't afford to do a real video with Kylie…

this is so much better than the last two albums it's unreal

New song: "Bikini Porn"

I am becoming obsessed with her

I went to see her last night and it was really excellent. I had heard a few things about her voice not being up to task but she sounded absolutely fine to me and the energy was unreal. I also should concede that I was wrong upthread about Lady Wood - it's still my least favourite of her albums but revisiting it and it's not the dud I seemed to think it was.

also the show was sold out and she seems to have a super-loyal fanbase of queer teenagers which, personally avoiding Twitter and Instagram, I had totally missed? I mean "pop music is popular with young people" is hardly a surprise but even at the back of the crowd where we were you could see everyone - and I mean everyone - mouthing along to every single lyric. There were a lot of queer couples being openly affectionate and it was wonderful as a guy in his thirties to see young people being so casual and unashamed about holding hands and kissing their partners, it is so far removed from when I was 18 and I would have been terrified to even hold someone's hand in public. I love that her music and her lyrics have helped carve out this idea of pop music as a safe space.

(I mean, obviously, pop music in the past decade has embraced LGBT values/fandom etc, its not exclusive to Tove Lo and she's not even really at the forefront of it or anything, but having her be able to sing a song like "Bad As The Boys" and it be no big deal is just really cheering to me)

man, yr making me feel bad that I couldn't make it to her shows at Brooklyn steel last month… I really would like to hear her songs really loud with her present in a room full of people who love her… I think she's going to around for the long haul…

“no one dies from love” is so good

agree

played it tonight thanks to this revive

was sleeping on her since "disco tits" tbh, the new stuff is amazing

ugh I'm excited

Oh wow, she's playing in Orange County tonight and tomorrow night. I might have to go to this.

Just checked ticket prices and they're around $75 so I think this is not going to happen.

love it.

whoa!

She's going to have one hell of a Greatest Hits comp one day

for sure.

she may never top “moments” imo but “no one dies from love” and “true romance” are both making me very happy rn

New album out today

New single not on the latest album:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oZCzDVx_so

She does pop music well, hope this means a new album instead of a one off.

wow --- really coming for tove styrke with this song title (i haven't listened yet to compare the two.)

Ha, yeah, I was momentarily confused when it came up in my Spotify Discover playlist last week

Still surprised that "No One Dies From Love" made it all the way up to #8 in the ILM 2022 Singles poll. I now see that it was mentioned in this thread but not talked about that much. I did post the video in the campaigning thread but there was no reaction to it, so I thought it wouldn't even make the Top 77 lol. The best part of the song is "I miss all the cool things we'd do, but what I miss the most is watching movies with you" which is not on the album or first video of the song. Bringing this all up because of the CVS heard out in the wild thread.

From our Top 77 Tracks from 2022 thread:

Very happy this made it, didn't think it had a chance of placing. Not the best song on the album that would be "True Romance" but voted for this as I thought it would have the best chance to place...

pleasantly surprised to see Tove Lo in the top 10 given she narrowly missed the albums list. Agree with Bee OK that "True Romance" is the highlight the way that "Moments" was on her debut.

From the first post in that YouTube posting:

I made True Romance together with my roommate Tim From The House. We both had a need to write something different and dramatic. It took me three days to get the lyrics right but I recorded it in one take. The lyrics are based on the movie True Romance, destructive cinematic love at its best and worst. We shot this scene for it in one take in the desert earlier this year. Kenny Laubbacher has always captured the emotional journey of the song perfectly in this scene.

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. #DirtFemme (Stripped) is out now.https://t.co/TlJk5LoFm4 pic.twitter.com/vA1Ym1PV6v

And this completes Dirt Femme

Tove Lo is coming here to Orange County on Tuesday, Monday in Los Angeles. Anyways, should I go? Has anyone that reads this seen her live?

She's a lot of fun.

100% would recommend, although the crowd I was part of skewed very young - it was sold out but I doubt there were more than a dozen people there under 25. She is charismatic, fun and committed on stage, with everything feeling very urgent and breathless. Also: very popular with the queer kids, so it was a joy for me in my 30s to see people half my age out expressing themselves through fashion and social moves in a way that I would never have been able to do when I was that age.

I went ahead and bought tickets based on these reply. Note they were cheap,so lucky me.

"Borderline" is great and a 2023 release, note to self
