    I'm really shocked! It feels like a modern instant classic, actually every single track is outstanding. Album overall is very consistent both musically and lyrically, much better than her debut which was already great.

    She's a queen, this album is pure fire...#FULLONLADYWOOD

    The lyrics, the meaning of each songs, the production...minimal but at the same time so aggressive, she challenged herself a lot in the use of the voice.

    Great work Tove Lo.

    Slight, lyrical and spontaneous. Lady Wood is a different work of his Debut "Queen of the clouds", with catchy and well-produced songs. Strengths: "Influence," "Do not talk about It" and "Imaginary Friend".

    AMAZING ALBUM! Just when you thought pop music was failing us this year, Lady Wood came and saved it! Every song is amazing! It actually works great as a record rather then "single" reliant , where you should play it through from Fairy Dust, all the way to WTF Is Love, then loop it!

With tracks like the album titled "Lady Wood", and the Chapter 2 opener, "Don't Talk About It", Tove Lo gives her listeners, whether male or female a glimpse of honest, raw passion and lust.

    Pure pop. This album could be included in the pop royalty masterpieces. Lo is showing her voice in all of its forms, experimenting with sounds and, as her first LP, she's telling an history to us.
    One of the best albums released in 2016, in my opinion, which deserves AT LEAST the success she had with Queen of the Clouds.

    Most recommended track and personal favorite: Imaginary Friend

    The first thing to come to mind when listening to this record is The Weeknd for sure, especially the use of sexuality to translate emotion and desire. Very pleased with this album and Tove Lo in general, she snatched us all!

    Tove Lo did a great job working on her sophomore album. It's classier and catchier but still raw and vulnerable. I love the story behind this record and really excited about the second part coming next year.

    This album was okay at best. Tove Lo is known for being daring, but it lack in this album. No offense but it felt like robots were the producers of this album. "Don't Talk About It" made me turn the volume up, different from the monotone feel the album gave.

However, I spent the last 3 days doing two things: studying and listening to Lady Wood, and after a weekend of unstoppable and ecstatic listens, I can now make sure that I dont want to, but I HAVE to give this album a 10. The follow-up to Queen of the Clouds is just as strong, and hits just as hard in all the right places. Nilsson described it as "darker and moodier" than her last effort, and that' something I agree on. The themes of the songs are very edgy, and the synths and beats hit so hard, all while preserving Lo's lyrics as deep and as personal as we've come to know them. Highlights are all over the album: 'True Disaster' is a killer track, that should easily climb the charts; 'Don't Talk About It' is a very deep song that sounds like an advice coming from a fellow superstar about how Tove should handle her fame; 'Imaginary Friend' is a song for when you feel desperate and alone; 'Lady Wood' is, for me, about embracing your differences. Nevertheless, the song that shines the most and is the diamond of the disc is 'Flashes', whose lyrics deal with the effect of fame on a former love. You can hear her pain when she soars with the amazing chorus: "When I **** things up / What about you?". The closer "WTF Love Is" felt like a filler after the first listen, but it turned out to be a grower.
    Finally, Tove Lo really stepped up her game with her sophomore studio album, and proved once again her high rank in the list of pop masterminds. Awesome record. Proudly: 10/10.

    I've had this album on repeat since it came out less than a week ago. I didn't know if Tove would be able to top Queen of the Clouds, but I have to say, Lady Wood is just... awesome.

For starters, there are only 10 full songs, which kind of goes against the latest trend of pop albums having tons of songs, and deluxe editions, etc. The great thing though is that there isn't one weak song on the album, so it's just Tove giving us the best of what she's got. It flows together very nicely, and there are plenty of hooks and catchy melodies that make this album sublime pop goodness. Which brings me to my next point. Tove's music isn't groundbreaking or exotic or anything like that. It's mainstream synth pop, but she executes it so well and seems to have so much fun with it that she stands well above the pack in this genre. I think this woman is seriously smart, and I can't wait to hear what she does next (although for now I'm happy with Lady Wood).

    This is such a downgrade from QOTC. I think the error with this album is the total focus on today's edm sound. In this album, melodic greatness (which made QOTC great) was sacrificed for big club beats.

She's always been a good songwriter and had a powerful voice and that's why I was sure that second album will include the same talent and effort . I had been waiting such a long time before she released the first single "Cool Girl". For a few days I was disappointed because of the composition but when you listen to that song more times it becomes interesting and stimulating to think. Second single "True Disaster" is still the best song in Lo's career for me. "Influence" is a shameless anthem and Wiz Khalifa completes it. Finally there came the premiere day of the album and I listened to every song form the album. I discovered that this is a part of masterpiece. Tove created the best meaningful lyrics for every song , light melody matched to her voice. It's something that our world needs today. The records aren't set to be successful ,played on the radio because these songs are giving us difficulties ,so it means that this album is only for people who want to think psychologically. She uses some vulgarity but in her music it takes us to our own feelings. Two chapters of the album "Fairy Dust" and "Fire Fade" come through incredible roads. So , to sum up I need to say that Tove Lo has made the greatest work. Now I'm waiting impatiently for second part of "Lady Wood" and I know that it will continue her art. Expand

Each song on Lady Wood administers a diverse self-perspective view of chaos whether it be through love, sex, drugs, alcohol or mental health. It further grants us passage into the bowels of Tove Lo’s emotional eco-state through the skills of self-actualisation and reflection. Sonically, Lady Wood is a treasure chest full of symphonies and hooks that accentuates the subject of passionate devotion for another. In the beginning chapter ‘Fairy Dust’, we feel the high of adrenaline and the temptation of chasing it. However, as we divulge into the second chapter ‘Fire Fade’, we start to see the euphoric atmosphere wear thin with Lo showing unrestrained indulgence in tragedy. The beauty of Lady Wood is that not only is it spontaneous and brutally honest, it holds a platform towards the expression of empowering femininity and vulnerability. From her debut album, Queen of the Clouds, Tove Lo’s persona has effectively taken flight to new heights which is apparent through her smart, lyrical content and overall tone. The fault of this album is the absence of vocal elevation. I felt that some of the song’s monotone tempos and overall ambience restricted Lo’s robust, vocal capabilities that have been showcased in her previous work. The album may not provide an outlet in the heavily competitive commercial market, but it certainly hits the mark when it comes to context and fulfilment.

    There are two featured artists: Joe Janiak and Wiz Khalifa. If the first one sounds great and legitimate, Wiz Khalifa totally seems out of context. His verse is as short as useless. I suppose it was just to have a male voices on her album. Another sign that this project is more commercial than authentic.

    Не сдавая позиции Туве выпускает синти-поп альбом, который можно смело считать одним из лучших альбомов 2016 года. Абсолютно бесспорно лучший ее альбом.

    Lady Wood seems to perfectly capture the euphoric chaos of a night of partying. Chapter 1 captures the high point of the night, with high energy and high spirits. Chapter 2 effortlessly paints the night's transition to something more introspective without losing the high energy of the first chapter. I've loved the entire album ever since it was first released, it never gets old.

    This is a hundred times better album than 'Queen of the Clouds'. Vocals, production, message - wonderful.

    An odyssey into sensuality and female liberation, honestly my favorite from Tove Lo.

    While there aren't as many standout singles this time around, the Swedish singer impressively maintains a consistent tone throughout, and its two-part structure adds to its listenability as an album experience.

    For all the explosive choruses and repeated synth trills, Lady Wood, a still-wonderful pop album, falls just shy of being truly great, from saying something truly memorable.

    This is intelligent pop freighted with emotional complexity. [Jan 2017, p.108]
