2014 A‑Z: T is for TOVE LO AND BEHOLD

  • December 29, 2014
  • Popjustice

tove-lo-big

2014az

One of the song­writ­ing rev­el­a­tions of the year also just happens to be one of the pop­s­tar­ring rev­el­a­tions of the year. But enough about Charli XCX, because Tove Lo had a great 2014 too.

Tove hasn't released her debut album in the UK yet, because her record label hates us, but many of its tracks…

…are com­pletely…

…brilliant. And even if you can't listen to the album (let's just pretend for a minute that anyone remotely inter­ested in the LP didn't illegally download it a month ago) you can still listen to the 'Truth Serum' EP, which popped up over the summer.

In addition to that, Tove delivered a typically bold and atmo­spheric track for the Lorde-curated Hunger Games soundtrack album.

She also did her best to salvage an offens­ively generic EDM track, and this year — as well as writing for other artists as part of Max Martin's team — was respons­ible for some of this Saturidicubanger.

What does 2015 hold? Don't fucking ask us we're not psychic.
