I first heard Tove Lo on the radio, briefly for about 24 seconds, it was the end of her Habits (Stay High), and from that point forward, I was a fan. Tove Los music will vibe with anyone that can connect with being what we call "The Wandering Heart", as well many others, who can individually connect with any one of the songs topics individually. All of her music is about love, but to me focuses more on being a Wandering Heart. Someone who is always in love, searching for love when they do not have it, falls hard, quickly, fast, passionately, truly, but is unable to maintain the eternal flame of love to sustain a relationship, always searching for someone to make them feel that fire, just one more time.
Tove Los sound and lyrics are amazing. If you are able to understand their true meaning, they are capable of helping you through difficult times, and help heal.
I saw her concert and the Metro in Chicago. I have never been TO a concert, or a standing one. The whole crowd in your face thing was very, woah for me, took a backhand to the face from a wandering hair flip. Think I need to to more concerts. The stage was set up awesome, and the whole crowd was vibrating with anticipation.
I watch Tove Lo live performance videos all the time. Watching her live, was SO much more incredible. You can tell that she feels her music, that she wants to give you a good performance. She engaged with the audience a lot, and also put the mic at the audience and let us sing a few times. I love artists who enjoy getting their fans into their performances because it makes it more personal, and more intimate that performance. Its YOUR show that day.
She made several "runs" in her songs, that were unique, and I had not heard her do them that way in the recordings I have watched of other live, and definitely not the actual album. Another mark of a true artist and musician to me, because she strives to give each audience a unique performance.
I would list what songs I like, and why, but I am serious when I say, there is not a single song, on the album or not, that I do not like. Songs like Paradise, Not Made for this World, both incredible. Songs in collaboration like Stranger with Seven Lions, and Run on Love with Lucas Nord.
I have purchased two of her deluxe albums, and there is not a single song on it, that I do not like, and I would like to believe, if you listened to the songs she has put up on VEVO, that you would find a connection in each one, even if that period of your life has passed, and you simply connect with the song and reminisce, and you would buy the album yourself, or maybe a song or two.
The day of my concert, nothing went to plan, tons of stuff went wrong. The moment Tove Lo walked onto stage and started to sing My Gun, none of it mattered anymore. I couldn't take pictures or video my phone was in my pocket, like a siren, she had me fully entranced in her music, my arms went up and I belted every lyric with her. That's how good she is :-p
If you have the album, and you want to see a concert and don't know who to see, go see Tove Lo.
