Tove
Lo, born Tove Ebba Elsa Nilsson is the New Swedish Pop
singer-songwriter and musician from Stockholm, Sweden. Her debut
album “Queen of the Clouds” is out and it will definitely
be around for some time to come. The whole album is great and there
are several tracks that should become singles, and that should keep
this album flying high on the charts for a long time. The better
tracks are not the singles. My faves are “Moments”, “Got Love”,
“Thousand Miles”, “Run On Love” and “Talking Body”.
The sound
is a mix/mash of the multi-genre pop/alternative rock of the day.
It's not far off from Lana Del Rey or maybe somewhere between
Britney/Madonna, Lana Del Rey, Lorde & Katy Perry. The vivid
lyrical content is reminiscent of Ke$ha. The album as a whole is one
of the best that has come out this year and any and everyone who
gives it a spin will agree.
The
perspective of her lyrical phrasing is what sets her apart from
others and this angle of her personality is what attracts.
The album
“Queen of the Clouds” is separated thematically into three parts:
“The Sex,” “The Love,” and “The Pain,” Each part begins
with a spoken prelude to songs following each theme. It's an
interesting artistic and creative touch that only helps make this
amazing album from start to finish an album to not only remember, but
to recommend and or gift it to others during the coming holiday
season.
Her 2013
single "Habits", and the later remixed version by hip hop
producers Hippie Sabotage titled "Habits-Stay High" - "Out
of Mind" and "Not on Drugs" are all featured on Tove
Lo's debut album “Queen of the Clouds”.
I rate this 5-Star.
As much
as I really love this new music, I really did not care for the
accompanying videos.
You can
decide for yourself on that one, her videos are easily found on her
website and also YouTube and Vevo.
