    Impeccable writing with new and clean melodies. Tove Lo is one of the few pop stars who are doing something different and keeps evolving without changing who she is.

    This album is so amazing the production is very well done, with the funky accelerating production as of "disco **** and "romantics" Tove Lo is very open about her sexual themes and shows how a true feminist acts. This album has great lyrics and great structure a great follow up to her previous 'Lady Wood' album. This album deserves more recognition.

    It 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.

    It is worth a try. Even a few, yeah more than you.

    Powerful in both, sexual and emotional ways, Tove Lo comes back, continuing 'Lady Wood', her previous work, as alive as aways as we can see in track like 'Disco **** and 'stranger'.

    I like how Tove Lo makes another album with those vibes. Since everybody do empty music, she's maintaining like no other and blue lips are so artistic, sad and deep.

    Like she says in "Struggle", you can feel that "the struggle is real" after listening to this album. Similar to its predecessor, Blue Lips it's dramatic, sexual and well, suprisingly sentimental.

But I feel that's not the main goal here, so we don't mind and just dance.… Expand

    It's such a phenomenal record,very underrated, it's the most vulnerable Tove Lo, her identity never shined any brighter. The way she's so cohesive both sonically and thematically.

    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

    Blue Lips It's just. One of the best musical productions of this year, all songs are thoroughly designed to cause an incredible experience from the beginning of a relationship to the end of it. There are not many artists capable of doing that

    'BLUE LIPS' is yet another fun enjoyable album by the saddest woman in Sweden. The album displays the lead single "Disco T*ts" which strongly backs the whole album up with its bold, depressing and vulgar lyrics. The album's honesty and production are deeply appreciated.

    I am shocked that this album is not well received and hyped by the people. Blue Lips is a fun, feisty, cranky, and shameless album that does not hinder themes of sex and taboos. Tove Lo is really commendable for her lyricism and creating catchy songs with appropriate head-banger production. This needs to be heard by more people because she DID that.

    One of my favorite albums of all time and the best of her. She never repeats herself and this is a masterpiece for me. My favorite track from album is Struggle. Album was made with great energy and all of the songs were written perfectly. It is worth to listen. And seeing her as a human not artist and seeing what she tells are clearly in this album.

    Вторая часть "Lady Wood" слабее, это бесспорно, однако лирика так же на месте, звучание кардинально отлично от того, что она делала. В итоге получился неплохой альбом.

    Blue Lips é um álbum ÚNICO e COMPLEXO. Não é para todos. É um álbum PROFUNDO e INTENSO. Dividido em duas partes, Blue lips se torna o melhor da Tove Lo e é um dos melhores do pop atualmente.

    Blue Lips is the perfect continuation of the party that Lady Wood began. While Lady Wood explored the high parts of the party with club bangers and high energy, Blue Lips is an album for the later half of the party as the energy dies down into the night. The LIGHT BEAMS suite of songs captures the party at 2am when things haven't fully died down yet.

With the PITCH BLACK set of songs, we enter the part of the night when the partying is all done and we're left with our thoughts as we deal with the crash from the night, ending on a calmer note as the night comes to an end. The Lady Wood/Blue Lips project is one of my favourite musical projects probably of all time.… Expand

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
