    The result is a 12-track riot of feisty, unapologetically forthright, dance-led pop that embraces femininity of all kinds.

    Dirt Femme is sexy, smart, and most importantly; fun. It’s a step up for Tove Lo without losing any of her signature charm, and it might just be her best album yet.

    ‘Dirt Femme’ sees her juxtapose elements ingeniously. If she’s singing in a straightforward manner, on a more direct number, then the music is twisting and turning in offbeat ways.

    The album, sees the pop maven realize her own strength and let it take her somewhere new while keeping with her characteristic candor and energy.

    Dirt Femme is a pop record and the compositions can be a little too close to something you’ve heard before. ... When she finds the right direction though, Tove Lo earns her place in the canon of the great Swedish pop song craftsmen.

    Dirt Femme is one of Tove Lo’s strongest collection of songs yet, and the acoustic fingerpicking collaboration “Cute & Cruel” with First Aid Kit shows the different directions Lo can take her sound. Unfortunately, tracks like the by-the-numbers ballad “I’m to Blame” and the less-insightful-than-it-thinks dance cut “Attention Whore” get lumped in on the album’s back half, as they somewhat pull down the otherwise stellar material presented.

    Tove Lo herself often sounds lethargic while singing these songs. She is contending with far more serious subject matter here than on, say, Sunshine Kitty; she is not enjoying herself. She is less daring, less awake, less alive to the pleasures of sex and love than she ever has been.

    Honestly? The best pop album this year. In terms of lyrics it’s Tove’s best work to date

    Tove Lo is a staple name in some households (mainly the gays and the girlies) and she is just constantly bringing bop after bop after bop.

    In a way, I wish she was bigger so that others can experience what we experience and on the other hand, I love that we have a genuine artist thats a bit more underground than other major artists, and is so incredibly talented that it makes it special to know that I'm able to listen to her music and doesn't spread herself thin or make 2 minute songs just to please the charts and tiktok.

    No One Dies From Love, Pineapple Slice, Grapefruit, 2 Die 4, Attention Whore, and Suburbia are top tier songs    … Expand
