This review assesses Tove Lo's album, Sunshine Kitty, noting its continuation of her open portrayal of sexuality.
Highlights include the track "Glad He’s Gone," showcasing relief over a friend's breakup, and the collaboration with Kylie Minogue on "Really Don’t Like U," exploring the difficult emotions of seeing an ex with a new partner.
The album blends pop elements with atmospheric soundscapes, occasionally dissolving into an electro-pop style. Overall, the review finds Sunshine Kitty to be largely vital and uplifting.
★★★☆☆ The Swedish singer Tove Lo hit it big in 2013 with Habits (Stay High), a regret-filled banger about a messy night out. She has since made a name for herself as a modern star with a frank attitude to sexuality, and that continues on her latest album.
It reaches a peak with the bittersweet Glad He’s Gone, on which Lo, aka 31-year-old Stockholm native Ebba Nilsson, expresses relief that her friend’s annoying boyfriend has slung his hook.
Kylie Minogue pops up to sing about the horrors of seeing an ex with their new partner on the disco stomp Really Don’t Like U, and Shifted finds the balance between pop sweetness and atmospheric moodiness. It can dissolve into an electro blur, but at its best Sunshine Kitty is vital and uplifting. (Polydor)
