Tove Lo

Tove Lo is a Swedish singer-songwriter known for "Habits (Stay High" and "Talking Body."

Lo gradually developed her own idiosyncratic style of epic, electronically tinged songwriting with raw, brutally honest lyrics, influenced as much by '80s pop as by contemporary EDM. Called "Sweden's darkest pop export" by Rolling Stone, she is known for her raw, grunge-influenced take on pop music. Her honest, complex and autobiographical lyrical content has led to her being dubbed "the saddest girl in Sweden."

That music-oriented high school is comparable to the U.K.'s BRIT School and while there, she met and befriended the future members of Icona Pop She formed the rock band Tremblebee in 2006.
