4 August 2016 (Toronto, ON) - Critically acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum artist Tove Lo releases her brand new single, “Cool Girl” today via Island Records / Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. “Cool Girl” is the first single from Tove’s eagerly anticipated second album, details to be announced in the weeks ahead. The new album is the long-awaited successor to Tove Lo’s landmark debut album of 2014, the RIAA platinum Queen Of The Clouds, which included “Habits (Stay High),” the career-catapulting 3x- Platinum in Canada with over 1 billion Spotify streams; and the Platinum selling follow-up, “Talking Body.” Tove Lo has also been the featured artist on tracks by Nick Jonas (“Close”), Coldplay (“Fun”), Years & Years (“Desire”), Broods (“Freak Of Nature”), Flume (“Say It”), and Alesso (“Heroes”). “Cool Girl” is inspired by the twisted thriller Gone Girl and is produced by fellow Swedes the Struts.  Hypnotically catchy, “Cool Girl” contemplates the hollow­ness and ironies of affecting an easygoing, feminine persona.  “When you create, you try to get out of your safe zone,” says Tove Lo, who writes her own music and lyrics.  “It’s okay to be pissed off or depressed.  You’ll pick yourself back up.  We shouldn’t be so scared of our emotions.” “Cool Girl” is about our weird need to play the game of ‘whoever feels less, has the power’ in relationships. You think you want someone who doesn't want you, or you want someone who isn't fazed by anything you do. Really we all just want full on, real love.” Tove Lo will be supporting Maroon 5 during the North American dates on their arena tour.  See Canadian dates listed below. Tove Lo finished out 2015 with a sold-out 16-city North American tour in September-October and sailed through 2015 and 2016 with nom­inations at the Billboard Music Awards (Top Streaming Song), Teen Choice Awards (Breakout Artist), MTV EMAs (Best Swedish Act), American Music Awards (New Artist of the Year), Critics' Choice Awards (Best Song), and iHeartRadio Music Awards (Best New Artist).
