Tove Lo reveals new album ESTRUS with single ‘I’m your girl right?’
Tove Lo, a pop artist with a knack for blurring the line between elation and turmoil, is set to release her sixth album, titled ESTRUS, on September 18. The album introduces its first single, ‘I’m your girl right?’, an enchanting electro-pop track that delves deeper into the contrasting themes that have always defined her music.
Inspired by artists like The Knife and Robyn, Tove Lo embraces her Swedish roots and the indie dance scene that shaped her musical journey. Working closely with collaborators Ludvig Söderberg, Elvira Anderfjärd, and Luka Kloser, she sought to create an album that explores primal instincts and emotional chaos without seeking tidy resolutions. ‘I’m your girl right?’, the lead single, exemplifies this ethos, blending frenetic energy with emotional ambiguity.
The accompanying video, shot outside São Paulo with over 70 dancers, adds a layer of theatricality and vulnerability to the already powerful track. Tove Lo’s ability to inhabit a space of beauty tinged with unease elevates her music to new heights, marking a distinct style that sets her apart in the pop landscape.
ESTRUS also features a collaboration with Stromae, underscoring Tove Lo’s journey from chart-topping hits like ‘Habits (Stay High)’ and ‘Talking Body’ to a more nuanced exploration of personal themes. The album announcement coincides with plans for the 2026 ESTRUS Tour, promising a series of North American, UK, and European shows that showcase Tove Lo’s evolution as an artist. With support from artists like Mallrat, Cobrah, and Rose Gray, the tour promises an electrifying experience for fans worldwide.
Tove Lo’s upcoming album signifies a bold step forward in her artistic evolution, inviting listeners into a world of raw emotions and complex narratives. By embracing discomfort and uncertainty, she continues to carve out a distinctive space in the realm of contemporary pop music. With ESTRUS set to release on September 18, fans can look forward to a fresh perspective on love, loss, and the messy truths that define the human experience.
