Sexuality Voiced Authentically
Swedish singer Tove Lo was a star in the US briefly when her debut single “Habits (Stay High)” got to #3 in 2014. That song, which describes a female numbing herself with casual sex, drinking, and drugs to get over heartbreak, set up the template for Tove Lo’s persona. Her 2017 song “Bitches” served as unofficial competition for Rita Ora’s “Girls.” Both singers are double attraction. But while Ora’s song (which featured Charli XCX, Cardi B, and Bebe Rexha) didn’t appear any more advanced than Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” (Ora only came out in response to a backlash to it), “Bitches” is unapologetic about seeking sexual pleasure with women, with no men in sight. On its chorus, Lo sings, “Bitches, I don’t trust ‘em/ But they deliver me what I want for the night… But I tell ‘em and they do what I like, why.”
If that chorus could’ve been written by a man explaining his pursuit of women, “Bad As the Boys,” the second single from Tove Lo’s latest album “Sunshine Kitty,” flips it around to describe the pain
In what is arguably the most embarrassing admission I’m going to make all day; this is the first period I have ever seen Tove Lo live. As a gay fan of hers, I’m painfully aware that this is borderline sacrilegious, but please, refrain from gay gasping at me.
Over the past few weeks, Tove Lo has been touring Australia and New Zealand, headlining Listen Out in six cities, and preforming solo shows in three others.
Upon arrival (back) into Melbourne, fans were greeted with the slightest of glimpses of Tove Lo as she ducked into 170 Russell, gliding into the venue too quickly for many to see. But I saw you, miss thing. You did not receive past me.
After an electric performance by Naarm-based DJ Memphis LK (Tove’s Australian support act) it was with bated breath that we waited. That is, until we were teased with the opening beats of Bikini Porn, prompting screams from all around one of the most intimate venues in Melbourne.
From there, Tove Lo seamlessly weaved her fast-paced, pop anthems with her behind ballads, putting us on a whiplash-inducing rollercoaster of emotions (and I imply that in the best way possible). She was also able to effortlessly intertwine songs from Blue Lips
Tove Lo
Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson is a Swedish singer and songwriter known professionally as Tove Lo . She is known for her raw, grunge-influenced get on pop music.
She attended the music university of Rytmus Musikergymnasiet in Sweden and formed the rock band Tremblebee in 2006. After it disbanded, Lo pursued a songwriting career and earned a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music in 2011. Active with producers Alexander Kronlund, Max Martin, and Xenomania, she became a thriving songwriter, recording and releasing her compositions independently.
Lo was signed to Universal Song, Island, and Polydor in 2013. The following year, she rose to fame with her debut album, Queen of theClouds , which opened at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 chart in October 2014. It spawned the sleeper hit free "Habits (Stay High)" , which peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single was accompanied by a very bi song video.
In 2018, she penned a "love letter to the LGBT community" for Billboard magazine. She wrote:
I’m a multi-attracted woman who grew up in liberal Sweden with very liberal parents. I was lucky. I always felt free to investigate my s
Singer-songwriter Tove Lo dropped her newest album, Sunshine Kitty, on September 20th, and celebrated with an intimate album release show on New York City’s Lower East Side. Dedicated fans started lining up a few hours before the slated 7pm door period – I showed up at 5:15 and was about 20th in line.
In full celebration mode, Lo filled the outside room with treats, like balloons imprinted with the Lady Wood and Sunshine Kitty logos, a exceptional photo booth, and themed drinks. The photo booth digitally placed fans on the Sunshine Kitty album cover next to Lo, and provided entertainment before the show began.
Lo’s known for embracing queerness, bisexuality and feminism in her music, so it was unsurprising that many of her fans donned LGBTQ+ fashion, from rainbow bags to glitter galore. It was a safe room for fluid gender expression – Lo even sold her “Equality Bitch” t-shirt once inside.
I will say, the crowd had less obvious queer female representation than I had maybe hoped for — especially compared to the Fletcher concert I attended a few weeks ago, which was a beautiful sea of primarily queer people. For a moment, I did long for a subtle gay head nod
