'I like having all the eyes on me, I guess!' - ToveLo
Scandi-pop fever is set to strike again with the rise of Stockholm’s Tove Lo. The 26-year-old has hooked tastemakers both sides of the pond with the release of her debut EP, a brutally honest account of a love story gone wrong, brought to life in epic pop anthems. Her single “Habits,” as well as its remix by Hippie Sabotage, retitled “Stay High,” have been climbing charts worldwide, set to soundtrack summer parties all over.from L.A., ahead of her debut West Coast show.
RUBENSTEIN: When did you decide that you wanted to release music as an artist, or was that always on the cards? TOVE LO: It’s really hard to say. There are a lot of theories—it’s the melancholy, it’s because we’re good at following the rules to make a pop song… I think it’s a combination of those, and also the directness in music speaks to the way we are. Of course, we are also surrounded by talent who are doing really well, and you get influenced by that. Sweden is a very inspiring place to be when you’re a songwriter.
RUBENSTEIN: Given the subject matter, was the process of writing and recording the EP very emotional for you? TOVE LO: I have so many songs already for the album—it’s more me trying to figure out what I want the storyline to be. I’ve been in a long-distance relationship for a while now, so there’s going to be a lot about frustration of being apart, watching each other through a screen. Everything that’s been happening the last few months have been insane inspirations—all these ups and downs. I do also tend to get into a trouble a bit, so there’s always inspiration there!TOVE LO: Yes.
