In NME’s next celebration of female and non-binary talent, we welcome international pop sensation Tove Lo to perform an intimate show for our Girls To The Front series. Get free tickets here.
Having previously welcomed the likes of The Japanese House, Beabadoobee, Dream Wife, GIRLI, GLOWIE, and Black Honey among others, Girls To The Front aims to showcase female and non-binary artists as well as celebrating gigs as a safe place for all genders.
Now, as she gears up to release her fourth album ‘Sunshine Kitty‘, the Swedish singer-songwriter and pop’s go-to collaborator Tove Lo will be gracing the tiny stage for GTTF at London’s Shacklewell Arms on Monday September 9. This is an 18+ event and support will come from Club NME DJ Lisa Wright. Visit here for free tickets.
Due for release on September 20, ‘Sunshine Kitty’ follows ‘Blue Lips’ from 2017. Among the guests on her new album are ALMA, Kylie Minogue, Jax Jones, MC Zaac and Doja Cat.
Lo said on Instagram of ‘Sunshine Kitty’: “It’s filled with songs about naive love, teen crushes, future fears and being a vulnerable weirdo. I’m so proud of this album, and so grateful to everyone involved.”
Speaking about the album title, Lo explained: “It’s a play on pussy power, but it’s a happy, positive way of seeing it.”
Of its artwork (see above), the Swede said: “This cartoon cat is an extension of me and part of the new music. She’s super cute, but she does stupid shit like getting in fights and getting fucked up. It’s how I feel the album sounds.”
The following Girls To The Front night will be headlined by Charli XCX’s favourite band, the rising glam-rockers, Nasty Cherry on Monday September 23.
