Tove Lo wins International Excellence in Music at GAY TIMES Honours 2022
Tove Lo is the recipient of the GAY TIMES Honour for International Excellence in Music, sponsored by Skittles. One of pop music’s most exciting and innovative artists, the Swedish singer has never been afraid to address topics that have, historically, been declared “taboo” such as female sexuality, mental health and drug use.
Throughout her decade-long career, Tove has released hits such as Habits (Stay High), which received quintuple platinum status in the United States, Talking Body, Cool Girl and Glad He’s Gone, the latter of which received a Grammy nomination for Best Music Video.
She’s also collaborated with artists like Lorde, Ava Max, Coldplay, Charli XCX, Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue and Duran Duran, garnering a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song for co-writing Ellie Goulding’s chart-topping smasher Love Me Like You Do.
Her fifth studio album, Dirt Femme, was lauded for its experimental pop beats and sing-along hooks, accompanied by Tove’s signature mixture of camp and confessional lyricism.
