Today marks the reunion of two internationally acclaimed artists; multi-platinum selling, award-winning artists Tove Lo and SG Lewis, both joining forces for the clubs this summer with their sensational collaborative EP, HEAT out June 14 via Pretty Swede Records. Co-written by GRAMMY® nominated Tove Lo and globally renowned sound master SG Lewis, who produced the EP, the 4-track EP also boasts additional production from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and is available to pre-order/add/save HERE today.
 
Speaking about the inspiration behind HEATTove Lo reveals, “We share a lot of fans in the queer community and this EP is very much inspired by the energy we feel from the crowd. We wanted to celebrate that with these 4 bangers.” she explains. “Sam and I met on the dance floor and I think when we first worked together we felt that special creative connection that rarely happens. So after making a few songs together that ended up on both our albums we felt like we had more to give to our mutual fans who, like us, love to dance in sweaty warehouses.”
 
About the EP, SG Lewis adds, “After our first two collaborations, we kept getting in the studio together as the process was so natural and fun, and every time we went in we came out with something we loved!”, he explains. “All of the beats were started from scratch in the room with Tove, minus 'Busy Girl' for which the beat was made with TEED beforehand. The writing process was always very fast and fluid once Tove found the Hook - she would come up with incredible vocal ideas, and I would produce the beats around the lyrics she was writing in real time, until we were both on our feet dancing by the end of the session. We then spent nearly a year tweaking the songs and rewriting certain parts, and TEED was able to help on with some additional production.”
 
Last month, Tove Lo and SG Lewis joined forces with GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum artist and global superstar, Nelly Furtado on her brand-new single “Love Bites”, a sultry dance anthem that channels the energy and escapism of dance floors and live DJ sets that sparked Furtado’s inspiration. Watch the official visualizer for “Love Bites” HERE.
 
The duo has also previously worked together on tracks, “Call On Me” which appeared on both SG Lewis’ critically acclaimed album, AudioLust & HigherLove as well as Tove Lo’s highly lauded album Dirt Femme, as well as Tove Lo’s fan favorite “Pineapple Slice.”
 
This spring, SG Lewis announced the launch of his label Forever Days; an outlet for his club-focused productions made strictly for the dancefloor and a place to champion music by artists he loves. The announcement came with the release of the label’s first two tracks “Costa” a collaboration with French artist Chloé Caillet and “Simple Times” with DJ Seinfeld (LISTEN).

ABOUT TOVE LO
Tove Lo embodies every side of her own femininity in her music. She can be powerful in one breath and lusty in the next. Her cleverness will turn into introspection just before she makes herself heard again. She fights hard and loves even harder. Tove has always spoken her mind, and it’s why she’s left an ever-expanding imprint on pop. The Sweden-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and artist made waves worldwide with her platinum-certified 2014 full-length debut, Queen of the Clouds, uplifted by the quintuple-platinum “Habits (Stay High)” and double-platinum “Talking Body.” Among numerous collaborations, she joined forces with Nick Jonas for the platinum “Close” and Flume on the gold-certified “Say It” in addition to anthems with Alesso, Coldplay, Martin Garrix, Charli XCX, Sean Paul, ALOK, and Major Lazer, to name a few. In the midst of sold out shows on multiple continents, she served up Lady Wood [2016] and Blue Lips (Lady Wood Phase II) [2017] before reaching another stratosphere on 2019’s Sunshine Kitty. It landed on year-end lists from the likes of Esquire and Idolator, while Pitchfork proclaimed, “Sunshine Kitty holds some of Tove Lo’s most vulnerable writing; it’s also her clubbiest record.” Meanwhile, she garnered her second GRAMMY® Award nomination with “Glad He’s Gone” in the category of “Best Music Video.” As a songwriter behind-the-scenes, she’s penned music for everyone from Lorde to Zara Larsson in addition to co-writing Ellie Goulding’s quintuple-platinum “Love Me Like You Do” for Fifty Shades of Grey, receiving nominations at the Golden Globe®Awards and the GRAMMY® Awards. Now, Tove realizes a new strength within femininity on her fifth studio album, Dirt Femme, available everywhere via her own Pretty Swede Records.
