Swedish singer Tove Lo writes top tunes about chasing all kinds of rushes. Get into it!
ANY POP SINGER with a body piercing and the odd song about sex gets called ‘edgy’, but Tove Lo deserves this tag more than most. “I eat my dinner in my bathtub / Then I go to sex clubs”, she sang nonchalantly on 2013’s ‘Habits (stay High)’, which became a huge hit in 2014 after being remixed by production duo Hippie sabotage. now, after adding vocals to suggestive hits by years & years (‘Desire’) and Nick Jonas (‘Close’), the intriguing swede has named her second album ‘Lady Wood’. The likes of Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez just wouldn’t dare.
