Tove Lo

Well I finally got my Dirt Femme CD after having it delayed a few times! Like @DeadSeaOfMercury, I’m disappointed it’s not a jewel case. It came with a few indents right on the front cover from damage. And there’s no booklet which is disappointing but not surprising given no one buys CDs anymore, Tove is now indie, and she’s not a household name. Still super happy to have my first Tove Lo album though, to support her going indie and to support such a great album, and the digipak design is pretty cool regardless.

do NOT erase me from existence this easy ma'am :toofunny: 

jk i get your point, but i truly love when artists put effort into making a booklet. sometimes it really adds to the physical concept imo.

The run of Call on Me, Attention Whore, Pineapple Slice, Kick in the Head, and How Long is sooooo insanely good. It’s a crime that the official tracklist wasn’t set up that way. 
 

Also, the change in the drop for the last chorus of Kick in the Head is so filthy in the best way possible. :kris:

Haven't listened to Dirt Femme just yet. I'm saving it as a little treat for myself later :crai:


If I get a little prettier can I be your baby?

Not me only just now learning that the lyrics are:

 

  • “I don’t want suburbia” not “I don’t want to burn me out”
  • “1, 2, grapefruit” not “1, 2, breakthrough”

:flop: :flop: :flop:

 

I was wondering why grapefruit was called that. I thought there was some hidden story/meaning that she just didn’t mention in the song. I thought suburbia was obviously describing suburbia so it didn’t need to say the word. 


How embarrassing for me. :toofloppy:

still working on my arrangement of the tracklist bc the official one is messy, but i think i rly like grapefruit as the closer 

you had me until mentioning Grapefruit as a closer :deadbanana: 

I mean, sure, do you boo, but I don't see it as a good closer track lol :bebe: 

I did rearrange the tracklist but it's not much besides swapping 2 Die 4 / Suburbia, and I'm to Blame / How Long.

Spoiler
  1. No One Dies from Love
  2. 2 Die 4
  3. Suburbia
  4. True Romance
  5. Grapefruit
  6. Cute & Cruel This one still feels like an outlier, it doesn't fit anywhere and tbh is my least favourite song in the album.
  7. Call on Me
  8. Attention Wh0re
  9. Pineapple Slice
  10. Kick in the Head
  11. How Long
  12. I'm to Blame

i think it works really well imo lol. just wish that maybe the composition was a bit different, like if after the second chorus she immediately went into 'when im hurting, every time i have a bad day..' and the lil instrumental break that comes right before it was added as a part the outro it would make it better.

 

right now mine is 

Suburbia

Cute & Cruel (agree that this one doesn't rly fit anywhere)

2 Die 4

Kick in the Head

Call on Me

Attention Whore

Pineapple Slice

How Long

No One Dies from Love

True Romance

I'm to Blame

Grapefruit

but Pitchfork always does very shitty reviews, don't they?

I actually enjoy the album very much besides Cute & Cruel and two more songs that I won't mention because they would earn me a ban but I'd say overall the album is a very solid 84 at least.

I check out every review. 5 and below isn’t super common actually :eek3: Most reviews are in the 6-7s

I just read the review and I personally couldn’t agree less tbh. This album is many things but lethargic is not one of them… I also have trouble believing they miss the vulgarity of previous albums because I just know they would’ve dragged her for “regressing now that she had full control” or some bs like that.

sadly Tove postet a story today that she has food poisoning. She canceld the show today in Brussels. Does anyone think that she will perform in cologne tomorrow? I don’t think so. Hopefully she will get well soon
