Tove lo Sunshine Kitty

After the darkness and uncertainty of the Lady Wood and BLUE LIPS years – which included vocal cord surgery and romantic turmoil – Tove Lo brings her music into the light with Sunshine Kitty. As with her other releases, its title is significant. Not only does Sunshine Kitty signify Lo's move to Los Angeles, it reflects a more lighthearted take on the pussy power she defined on her earlier work. As far back as "Habits (Stay High)," there's been a mischievous, even cute side to Lo's uncensored brand of pop, and it's a refreshing change of pace to hear her lean into it on Sunshine Kitty. She's rarely sounded happier than she does on "Glad He's Gone," where she bids adieu to a friend's unworthy ex-boyfriend with a lilting earworm of a chorus and a NSFW checklist of the things women do – and don't do – to stay in a relationship.

When Tove Lo released her tongue-in-cheek single “Glad He’s Gone” earlier this year, fans everywhere rejoiced – after a brief two years since her Blue Lips record, the Swedish pop phenom was already set to gift her fans with another album. On Thursday (August 1), Lo finally gave the people what they wanted and announced the release date for Sunshine Kitty, the singer’s upcoming fourth studio album. In an Instagram post, the singer revealed that the album would be available on September 20, while peppering in a taste of what’s to come.
