Sweden is a huge mecca for talented pop artists, and the latest act to emerge from the country is Tove Styrke (not to be confused with fellow Swede Tove Lo). The 22-year-old singer is ready to take on the U.S. market with her new single, “Ego” — the first single from her debut studio LP, Kiddo.
Speaking to Pigeons & Planes, Styrke told that the upcoming album is named after Kill Bill's protagonist, Beatrix Kiddo:
"I like the word 'kiddo'. It’s playful, it’s the name of my favorite movie character (Beatrix Kiddo) and I’ve been called it for ever and ever for better and for worse. If I were to describe the album in one sentence I’d say that it’s playful, much inspired by movies (especially Kill Bill) and that the songs are very personal to me. Sound wise there are electronic textures mixed and matched with a bunch of different things on this album. Like marching band drum rolls (that song is called “Snaren” which is Swenglish for “the snare drum”), pedal steel guitar, rhymes about Britney Spears, quite poorly played tambourine and bass galore."
i, mistakenly, typed ‘tpve’ instead of ‘tove’. do you know if there’s any way to correct this without deleting this page, @mojib?
