Lady Wood

Editorial Review

LADY WOOD is the long-awaited successor to Tove Lo s landmark debut album of 2014, the RIAA platinum Queen Of The Clouds. The album included Habits (Stay High), the career-defining 5x-platinum global #1 hit that intro¬duced her to U.S. audiences, and has surpassed 1 billion Spotify streams; and the double-platinum follow-up, Talking Body (#3 on Billboard Pop Airplay, #12 on the Hot 100). In addition to Close, Tove Lo has also been the featured artist on tracks by fellow Island artist Coldplay ( Fun ), Years & Years ( Desire ), Broods ( Freak Of Nature ), Flume ( Say It ), and Alesso ( Heroes ).

Similar to Queen Of The Clouds, whose tracks were broken into three intimate chapters ( The Sex, The Love, The Pain ) LADY WOOD will be divided into two chapters: Fairy Dust and Fire Fade. Tove Lo describes them as the emotional curves I go through when I m chasing any kind of rush.

Fairy Dust refers to anticipation, as in the seductive slow-jam Influence (featuring rapper Wiz Khalifa), and the prowling title track, Lady Wood. Tove Lo compares that anticipation to when the adrenaline starts to kick in. It gives you butterflies. It s that tingling sensation of sex. Fire Fade captures the moments when that thrill starts to wear off, as in the swelling, unguarded Keep It Simple and the cocksure WTF Love Is. As she says, You feel a little bit uneasy. And you really want to chase that first feeling again.
