The Swedish sensation Tove Lo is a Stockholm born songwriter, Sweden's answer to La Roux. Her mixture of synthesized beats and pop melodies evoke those of her British counterpart, but there are elements of many female pop acts in her music. From Taylor Swift to the more edgy, surreal pop musician BANKS.
Her debut EP 'Truth Serum,' was only released in March this year, transporting Tove into the world of music fame and success. But her album was eagerly awaited by fans when her single back in 2013 'Habits' teleported her into the limelight. She had gone from zero to dance hero. Her song would be played all over the radio for weeks and DJ's were banging out her tune night after night across the world. She was now a world success!
Her EP continues to shine months after its release with tunes such as 'Not on Drugs,' and 'Thousand Miles' pushing Tove along the road to glory. Although a pop act by origin, Tove does have that edgier, mysterious side to her which does drift her away from the likes of Taylor Swift, and rightly so. She deserves to have her own light on her, a dark gloomy mischievous glow of a light.
But in September Tove Lo declared her debut album fit for release, and 'Queen of the Clouds' was finally out in the charts. She is currently touring around the world, and is set to play Electric Ballroom in London which will be a fitting place for the pop starlet.
Interestingly Tove has also written songs for other artists including Cher Llyod and Girls Aloud. Tove is the next song writing genius that female pop needs.
I first heard Tove Lo on the radio, briefly for about 24 seconds, it was the end of her Habits (Stay High), and from that point forward, I was a fan. Tove Los music will vibe with anyone that can connect with being what we call "The Wandering Heart", as well many others, who can individually connect with any one of the songs topics individually. All of her music is about love, but to me focuses more on being a Wandering Heart. Someone who is always in love, searching for love when they do not have it, falls hard, quickly, fast, passionately, truly, but is unable to maintain the eternal flame of love to sustain a relationship, always searching for someone to make them feel that fire, just one more time.
Tove Los sound and lyrics are amazing. If you are able to understand their true meaning, they are capable of helping you through difficult times, and help heal.
I saw her concert and the Metro in Chicago. I have never been TO a concert, or a standing one. The whole crowd in your face thing was very, woah for me, took a backhand to the face from a wandering hair flip. Think I need to to more concerts. The stage was set up awesome, and the whole crowd was vibrating with anticipation.
I watch Tove Lo live performance videos all the time. Watching her live, was SO much more incredible. You can tell that she feels her music, that she wants to give you a good performance. She engaged with the audience a lot, and also put the mic at the audience and let us sing a few times. I love artists who enjoy getting their fans into their performances because it makes it more personal, and more intimate that performance. Its YOUR show that day.
She made several "runs" in her songs, that were unique, and I had not heard her do them that way in the recordings I have watched of other live, and definitely not the actual album. Another mark of a true artist and musician to me, because she strives to give each audience a unique performance.
I would list what songs I like, and why, but I am serious when I say, there is not a single song, on the album or not, that I do not like. Songs like Paradise, Not Made for this World, both incredible. Songs in collaboration like Stranger with Seven Lions, and Run on Love with Lucas Nord.
I have purchased two of her deluxe albums, and there is not a single song on it, that I do not like, and I would like to believe, if you listened to the songs she has put up on VEVO, that you would find a connection in each one, even if that period of your life has passed, and you simply connect with the song and reminisce, and you would buy the album yourself, or maybe a song or two.
The day of my concert, nothing went to plan, tons of stuff went wrong. The moment Tove Lo walked onto stage and started to sing My Gun, none of it mattered anymore. I couldn't take pictures or video my phone was in my pocket, like a siren, she had me fully entranced in her music, my arms went up and I belted every lyric with her. That's how good she is :-p
If you have the album, and you want to see a concert and don't know who to see, go see Tove Lo.
