Review

'Queen of the Clouds' is the sultry debut album from Swedish songstress Tove Lo, dropping on September 24, 2014. This sonic exploration of love's complexities is cleverly divided into three sections: "The Sex", "The Love", and "The Pain" - each one delving into a different stage of romance.

From the get-go, it's clear that Tove Lo is on a mission to push the boundaries of electropop. She seamlessly blends dance-pop, synth-pop, EDM, hip hop, new wave, rock, and R&B to create a unique sound that's both cohesive and dynamic. Singles like "Habits (Stay High)" and "Talking Body" showcase her impressive ability to craft catchy, upbeat tracks that dive deep into real emotional themes.

The lyrics are refreshingly raw and introspective, with Tove using her music as a form of therapy to express thoughts and feelings she might not otherwise dare to vocalize. Tracks like "Timebomb" are infectiously upbeat, fueled by frantic electronic elements and powerful vocals that'll leave you breathless. Throughout the album, Tove's expressive vocals add depth to the narrative arc, taking listeners on a journey from the excitement of new love to the pain of heartbreak. 'Queen of the Clouds' is a standout debut that solidifies Tove Lo's position as a fearless and talented songwriter in the pop scene. - Cameron
