    On BLUE LIPS, Lo refines her unmistakable sounds and moods more satisfyingly than she did on Lady Wood, and transforms betrayal and denial into some of her finest songs.

    While Tove Lo is confident in her music, she reveals a lot about how she feels and how she deals with problems. There is a level of vulnerability that leaves the listeners feeling like they are experiencing the highs and lows of a party lifestyle right along with her.

    Blue Lips isn’t perfect; it has a predilection towards being over produced. Thematically, though, her honesty about her imperfections is what makes all so irresistible.

    An explicit testament to Lo’s chaotic love life, an unashamedly sexual and emotionally impactful piece of work. Lo ends up baring much more of her soul than her body.

    Like much of Tove Lo's work, it's admirably uncensored, but may leave you craving a shower, however close to home it lands.

    Solid if formulaic, Blue Lips peaks with unfaltering vocals and the kind of humid, polished production that would make Jack Antonoff jealous.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honesto e profundo, esse disco é uma prova de que a evolução de um álbum ou de um artista não precisa demorar mais de um ano para acontecer. "cycles", "dont ask dont tell" ou ate mesmo "9th of octuber" seriam músicas jamais imaginadas em serem cantadas por Tove Lo por pessoas que a viram nascer na era Queen Of The Clouds. "stranger" parece ser uma releitura melhorada de um unreleased seu vazado na internet á algum tempo atrás: Perfect Loop. E a falta de baladas romanticas que me incomodou em Lady Wood foi compensada aqui, com músicas como "hey you got drugs?"

    Esse álbum deveria ter um lado B e uma versão física, mas tudo que é perfeito...    … Expand

    It mixes Tove's old style ( songs like Love Ballad and Over ) with the new shameless Tove ( Lady Wood, Influence). It is a powerful collectionIt mixes Tove's old style ( songs like Love Ballad and Over ) with the new shameless Tove ( Lady Wood, Influence). It is a powerful collection with fragile and unapologetic tracks, full of personal lyrics and cheesy (also catchy) hooks.

    The second part of 'Lady Wood' by Tove Lo doesn't lag behind the first part at all, and I could even say that they go head to head.
