Are U Gonna Tell her? Is incredible. I'm loving the Portuguese parts from Mc Zaac.

I think as a whole I like this more than Lady Wood and Blue Lips already, though lbr She only has great albums to her name
I also do think this has much more of a closely knit cohesion than QOTC I'm also so happy this record has some really fun bops to it's name like Really Don't Like U, Jacques, and Equally Lost

Ugh, went to Target to snatch this and apparently it's not out until next week physically. At least we're getting a physical. I'm still traumatized by Blue Lips being digital only. I ended up getting a high end Brazilian bootleg of it though.

Ten songs in the "great and above" territory for me which is fantastic for a 13 track album.
"Equally Lost" is delete-worthy for now but it'll grow on me like "WTF Love Is" and "bad days" did.

Shameless plug - I wanted to include "Blow That Smoke" and alter the track order a bit :)

The 1-2 punch of Mateo and Come Undone is killing meeee
Both songs are so upsetting and so damn good, like listening to the latter rn, I FEEL the emotion.

As disappointed I was with all the pre-release tracks (minus the Kylie Minogue one), this turned out to be a pretty solid listen.
Highlights Sweettalk my Heart Mateo Come Undone Anywhere u go Really don't like u

This album is incredible, but so is every Tove Lo album. So many highlights. I need to let this sink in on vacation and I’ll post further thoughts and reviews. Enjoy the album sunshine kitties!!

I love the song "Shifted" from this latest release by her. I try not to buy songs from iTunes that have an E next to the title of the song but I couldn't resist. lol. I love the chorus. When I sampled "Sunshine Kitty" it sounded pretty good. I'll probably go back to it.

Mateo is literally killing meeeeee, I need a killer video for it The whole "I PROMISE THE WORLD IS GONNA BURN IF YOU CHOOSE HER" line is literally my favorite thing on the record lol
This is easily one of my fav albums of the year, though lbr I stan Tove to death so that is not a surprise

MISTAKEN Shifted Sweettalk My Heart Mateo Come Undone Equally Lost Really Don’t Like U Anywhere you Go
+ Glad He’s Gone Bad as the Boys
Lol! Pretty much the whole album. Not a bad song, and as someone said, four really solid albums in one single decade. Queen!

Mistaken is the one for me. Another fantastic album from her.

At first, I thought this was weaker than Blue Lips, but after repeated plays I think I like this as much as Blue Lips. The sequence: Mateo/Come Undone/Equally Lost/Really Don't Like U is the highlight of the album for me.

I'm sad that I'm not feeling this one as much as you guys. I feel like it's a little more consistent than Blue Lips, but the first half of Blue Lips was stellar and on the level of her debut. She really just hasn't been able to touch her debut album and EP for me, but she has had songs I've really loved (just not across an album). This one is consistent all the way through with decent tracks, but only a few go above that for me.
"Mateo" has such a pleasant melody – one of the easy highlights. "Anywhere U Go" is the most reminiscent to her old stuff, and I think it was the most immediate song on the album – probably my favorite.
Really, the only song I actually disliked was "Mistaken". It just kinda plodded along and went absolutely nowhere.

Great record. The only tracks I find meh are:
Come Undone Glad He’s Gone
Tove Lo never really connected with me, but her albums are pretty good. I’ll be listening to this one for a while.

Another really solid album. I don't think it's on the same level as Queen of the Clouds or Blue Lips, but she just has a knack for great melodies and excellent production.

#HotTake: As someone who didn't really "get" her early on (though I fell in love with a trap-like/EDM remix of Habits), I really grew to appreciate Tove, especially her way with melody and choruses. Sweettalk My Heart is miles ahead of everything else here but this is a really solid album (I am REALLY into my #1-8), but overall, I feel like my #1-11 (with the intro) would have made me like this album even more. I give it a B overall. 1. Sweettalk My Heart 2. Mateo 3. Stay Over 4. Glad He's Gone 5. Bad As The Boys 6. Are You Gonna Tell Her? 7. Anywhere You Go 8. Mistaken 9. Really Don't Like You (no idea what Kylie Minogue sounds like. Where is she in this song? BGVs?) 10. Come Undone 11. Jacques 12. Shifted 13. Equally Lost (I don't really like this and am surprised because I love everything Mattman & Robin produce)

I actually thought more people were here for this album. I guess just not as many as we thought.

I've been enjoying it - and I'll admit that I did not really give BL much of a shot at all.
