Get excited, because Swedish pop icon Tove Lo is back and preparing to release her sixth album, ESTRUS, on Sep. 18.
The project will be her first since 2022’s Dirt Femme, taking on an explorative electro-pop sound as she embraces her most primal wants and desires, tracing her journey of self-discovery through reflecting on the challenges that have shaped her thus far. She’s demonstrated again and again that there’s power in vulnerability, and no topic she won’t touch with the rawest truth. She’ll also be heading out on tour just before the album release with shows across North American and Europe, so we’ve collected more than 50 of her most memorable and most poignant lyrics to use as captions.
