Tove Lo - Dirt Femme

[Digital_Fossil]

Familiar with the sample via the snippets but was still blown away by its mounting intensity and sum of its parts (that washed out piano!). Only critique is not ending with wailing adlibs. Still another perfect entry in the Greatest Hits of her untoppable discography.

 

[RMK]

Tove Lo will always be one of my favorites, but I still have trouble matching the forum reaction in thinking these are some of her best cuts ever. Good songs? Yes. Topping the highs of her previous efforts? Not sure.

She's holding back the best on the album, I'm sure.

 

[Ferk]

I really think she’s about to deliver her best album.

 

[drewsky]

Her team finally switched the audio out removing the extended first verse version. It's fascinating to me we have demos of both No One Dies from Love and 2 Die 4, and both came out within a day or two of the final version.

 

[tnargtnarud]

Fantastic output per usual from her, my only criticism is that the sampling was completely underused. To not have the chorus ride THAT beat was homophobic.

 

[Syzygyz]

The way the first third-ish of the song builds up and the sample sneaks its way into the (pre)chorus before the incredible use of the sample? The abrupt ending with no outro?

If they leveraged the sample just a little more (I'd love if it ran through the entire second pre-chorus) I'd be dead, I fear.

sounds like her AV person uploaded the wrong version - FIRED!

2 DIE 4 is heaven

All this is screaming “you’ll get early alternate versions on the vinyl.”

 

[Purple]

The way the visualiser for the song on Spotify is just her walking around in that metal corset with a huge strap on is absolutely iconic behaviour.

Pretty sure it was stated early on that they’d be on the deluxe vinyl. Can’t remember the account, but they seemed to be reliable?

Edit: here it is

I’m pretty sure she just meant the digital deluxe. The deluxe vinyl has the same tracklist on one disc (if it’s 2LP that would indicate there’s extra tracks).

 

[jvckkk]

Yeah there’s a deluxe underway. Apparently she’s got a video shot and ready to go for a song that didn’t make the main album.

She also said she had enough material for a follow-up album, so it’s a case of watch this space I guess.

 

[Ferk]

Ugh I love her commitment to keeping us fed.

Which was the third main single that had a Septemberish release date? 2 Die 4 was moved forward so I assume that will be too.

I’m to Blame was due September 23.

While I agree this is another absolute serve, True Romance is genuinely tough to listen to and the first Tove Lo song I didn't like... ever? Or maybe since the debut? She almost never misses!

 

[swim]

Holy shit this sample

Yeah, I find 'True Romance' surprisingly unlistenable for a Tove Lo song.

 

[impossibleprincess]

The lyrics of true romance are nice but unfortunately i can't sit through that song.

 

[Vasilios]

This is like the biggest bop ever but also has aged in light years by the third listen dd
