Tove lo. A music appreciation post..

[Spicechinodiva]

Tove Lo remains a highly controversial figure in pop music. From her heavily usage of **** references in her music. To where she literally believes that she always have to be on a high by some pill or chemically induced. To give pink a run in the sailor mouth competition. Both factors were addressed to her from her US Label who distributes her music from a license from Universal music sweden. 

 

To the whole free the nipple and desexualizing a women's breast. Which I'm all here for. It needs to be equal. If we guys can do it. So should the ladies. 

 

She's been described by rolling stone as the most saddest girl from Sweden..

 

A protegee of Max Martin and his wolf cousins camp. Queen of the clouds is deemed by serious music lovers as one of the most cohesive story telling albums. 

 

Even divided into three chapters.

 

The *** chapter talks about how she likes her boys young, that a girl her age can't keep up with the same zexual appetites cos she likes men in their senior years.

 

To basically saying you wanna shoot ne go ahead. But understand that's my gun and it's not easy. To one of the biggest hits from a Swedish act ever to hit the US. Talking body. Where she openly addresses that she just wants to use her body for fun instead of making babies..

 

To ending with timebomb..

 

To then fully going into a relationship as suddenly it happens once in a while.

 

Moments is probably the most adult moment where she talks about not being perfect but she has these moments where she is charming as ****.

 

She also talks about how she can make him come in an instant.

 

Then it gets darker. When she addresses to her lover. That she can't but be who she is. The way I am talks about she has reckless behavior but it's who she is. He should accept it. 

 

Then we got love is very happy moment. 

 

But not on ***** begins to tell you that she had become addicted to fill the void of his missing presence. Which leads to the final chapter 

The Pain. The relationship has ended. 

And she admits. It's her fault.

 

Thousand miles. She would run just to get him back. Even though he rejects it. Cos she always goes back to numbing the pain. 

 

Which leads to her biggest hit ever. Habits (stay high). She's single. She's mingling but not in a safe way. But in a very dangerous way. From picking up dads at playgrounds. To throwing up in bathtubs. All of this while staying high to fix the pain of her ex being gone. 

Then leads to the final song..

 

Where she talks about it's over. And it's her that messed up her first relationship because she broke her golden rule. Never fall in love. 

 

It leads to the track. Run on love. Which has nothing to do with the main album itself. But was a collaboration and her first into edm.

 

The bonus track on the original version.  Was the hippie sabotage remix of habits. Which actually helped the track gain momentum in the US..

 

The album was reissued in a blueprint edition.

Containing the tracks from The EP truth serum, New songs, Heroes with Alesso.

 

And a remix of Not on ***** by Ali Perium of wolf cousins. 

 

Spotify us gave us a bonus track. Not made for this world.

International pressings of the blueprint edition got The spotify track not made for this world and an "explicit" version of her hunger games song Scream my name. The track is edited on the soundtrack itself. 

 

It's one of the best debut albums in recent history.

 

Platinum due to streams. Unfortunately tove lo went to a very different route on lady wood and it's sequel album Blue lips. That she became a cult figure in pop music. 

 

She did went back to a more commercial sound on her fourth album "Sunshine Kitty "  But the title is a reference to her genital area. So the girl is still there. But she did stop the ***** and her usual potty mouth to a slight degree. It's like she caved into the US label demands. But did it her way.
