"Call On Me", the track with SG Lewis, was performed by the latter on his Planet Pride Festival gig in NYC.

She previewed "2 Die 4" on TikTok, which samples "Popcorn" by Gershon Kingsley.

I cannot wait any longer for this album. I feel like this will be her best yet and the album of the year as well.

Teasers of the album have begun. Yes, "How Long" is already known, but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here for everything I've heard from this project so far, but I really hope there is something sweetly melancholy like "Sweettalk My Heart" or "Mistaken" on this album. Those are still catalogue staples for me. :chef's kiss:

I believe 'Grapefruit' might be in that vein since it supposedly deals with personal struggles she had Loooving the snippets, 'Pineapple Slice' is a classic bop a la SG Lewis and 'Kick In The Head' sounds super fun and interesting

Excited for the album. "No One Dies From Love" and "2 Die 4" are some of my favourite songs of the year so far. The teasers sound promising as well!

Latest teasers, including all of her singles ("No One Dies From Love", "True Romance" and "2 Die 4" in chronological order of release) out so far, plus "Suburbia", the remaining one.

OMG at her not putting the full version of "NODFL" on the album. I'm so over the streaming era.
On the first few spins, this is super slick. Loving the darker synth vibe. All of the uptempos are solid to great. The main critique I have as of now is the three down tempo tracks haven't fully grabbed and throttled me. Which is a bummer, because she usually delivers on those. But they may grow on me! Either way, another winner in her discography.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Tove Lo. I have a few of her tracks. I’m liking a decent amount of this latest release though. I think I had previously heard and skipped opening track “No one Dies From Love”. Well that was a mistake I really like it. “2 Die 4” is a bop. I like the production of it it. “Grapefruit” has a nice vibe to it. I have been giving it lots of love. It will probably stick around on my playlists for a bit. Both of her collaborations with SG Lewis are pretty good. I prefer “Pineapple Slice” out of the two of them. “Kick In The Head” may be a keeper and I already adored “How Long”. Perhaps I’ll go back and listen to her stuff again. I believe I thought she was to abstract for my liking before???

I was hoping for a retailer exclusive with a bonus track or something from Target or FYE but it doesn't look like there is one.

I don't think independent artists do retailer exclusives much, that feels more like something a label would arrange. This album is phenomenal. I think "Cute & Cruel" is my least favorite on first listen, but even that's not an entire skip. Suburbia, Grapefruit, Attention Whore, Call On Me & Pineapple Slice are all ace. and I love all the pre-release singles. that's 9 songs in the A range.

This is definitely a solid album. She always delivers! The only real skip for me is “Cute & Cruel”.
My favorites after first listen are probably: Suburbia Grapefruit No One Dies From Love Call on Me Pineapple Slice

Tove needs to write an entire album about fruit. "Grapefruit" and "Pineapple Slice" are serving.
Random note, I wonder what happened to the songs that she and Charli XCX wrote. They didn't show up on Crash either.

There’s so many good things to pinpoint in this album. From NODFL to 2 Die 4, both which served as excellent singles.
How Long from Euphoria is so deliciously dark and moody (“you’re an honest man when you’re drunk… “how long have you loved another while I’m dreaming of us together”). Classic Tove Lo.
SG Lewis is such a perfect collaborator with her on Pineapple Slice and Call on Me.
Attention Whore is club bait waiting for a remix.
Don’t think there is a miss. Great job!

Loving this album, but as I'm still immersing myself in it I'm going to hold off on listing my faves. One thing is for sure though, she can do no wrong.
Also, this is brilliant. Nobody does EDM and pop in the desert quite like Tove Lo.

Grapefruit is my jam right now. I'm literally obsessed with it. I really like the video for it as well. Bravo Tove for creating such an earworm. Once my obsession starts to wane I will check out the rest of the album, which I'm sure I'll enjoy.
