19 AUGUST 2016 (Toronto, ON) – Critically acclaimed, Grammy®-nominated and multi-platinum artist Tove Lo will release her long-awaited second album LADY WOOD on October 28 via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Pre-order LADY WOOD now. LADY WOOD will include “cool girl,” the first new single to drop from Tove Lo in advance of her upcoming six-week North American fall tour with Maroon 5. After just two weeks since its release, “cool girl” has reached more than 16,000,000 streams on Spotify and is approaching Top 20 on the Global Chart. Premiering worldwide today is the video for “cool girl.”  The clip was shot on location in Los Angeles by accomplished Swedish director Tim Erem (credits: Tove Lo’s “Moments”; Nick Jonas’ “Close” featuring Tove Lo; Rihanna’s “Work” featuring Drake; Major Lazer’s "Lean On" with DJ Snake featuring MØ; and more).  “cool girl” is the lead video of a larger short film project for Fairy Dust, “chapter one” of LADY WOOD (see more info below). Watch the video for “cool girl” here. LADY WOOD is the long-awaited successor to Tove Lo’s landmark debut album of 2014, QUEEN OF THE CLOUDS. The album included “Habits (Stay High)”, the career-defining 3x-platinum global #1 hit that intro­duced her to global audiences, and has surpassed 1 billion Spotify streams; and the platinum follow-up, “Talking Body” (#3 on Billboard Pop Airplay and #12 on the Hot 100 in the US).  In addition to “Close”, Tove Lo has also been the featured artist on tracks by fellow Island artist Coldplay (“Fun”), Years & Years (“Desire”), Broods (“Freak Of Nature”), Flume (“Say It”), and Alesso (“Heroes”). Similar to QUEEN OF THE CLOUDS, whose tracks were broken into three intimate chapters (‘The Sex,’ ‘The Love,’ ‘The Pain’) – LADY WOOD will be divided into two chapters: Fairy Dust and Fire Fade. Tove Lo describes them as “the emotional curves I go through when I’m chasing any kind of rush.” Fairy Dust refers to anticipation, as in the seductive slow-jam “Influence” (featuring rapper Wiz Khalifa), and the prowling title track, “Lady Wood”. Tove Lo compares that anticipation to “when the adrenaline starts to kick in.  It gives you butterflies.  It’s that tingling sensation of sex.”  Fire Fade captures the moments when that thrill starts to wear off, as in the swelling, unguarded “Keep It Simple” and the cocksure “WTF Love Is”. As she says, “You feel a little bit uneasy.  And you really want to chase that first feeling again.” LADY WOOD tracklist:
  1. “Fairy Dust” (Chapter I)
  2. “Influence”
  3. “Lady Wood”
  4. “True Disaster”
  5. “cool girl”
  6. “Vibes”
