On the glistening track Really Don't Like U, Swedish pop star Tove Lo teams up with the queen of electropop herself, Kylie Minogue.
The dark synthesizers over a catchy, pulsating beat are a foreshadowing for the disdain in the lyrics, where the pair sing about how hard it is to have a good time at a party, when an ex shows up with another girl.
"I know I've got no right to/ Really, I just don't like you/Look prettier than I do tonight/You make it hard to have a good time," they sing.
The standout track on Lo's fourth studio album stays well in line with her brand of unapologetic Scandi-pop. Yet, the slick, pop-friendly production keeps her relatable and accessible.
Whether she is comforting a friend who has just broken up with a toxic boyfriend on Glad He's Gone or pining for a deeper connection and commitment on Sweettalk My Heart, the album is studded with personal romantic misadventures.
The storytelling is vivid and spills all the details, like on a one-night stand with a Frenchman on the track Jacques.
"Je m'appelle Jacques and I love you a lot/I'm with you tonight, but tomorrow I'm not/Je m'appelle Tove, get the show on the road/I'm down for one night, let's go," she sings, trading lines with British DJ-producer Jax Jones on the sweaty club banger.
The hedonism all feels true to Lo, but unfortunately, nothing comes close to her sleeper hit HabiRead More – Source
