Tove Lo and SG Lewis announce collaborative EP, HEAT
Tove Lo and SG Lewis have announced their forthcoming reunion on the forthcoming collaborative EP, HEAT.
Co-written by GRAMMY nominated Tove Lo and globally renowned sound master SG Lewis, who produced the EP, the four-track EP also boasts additional production from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.
“We share a lot of fans in the queer community and this EP is very much inspired by the energy we feel from the crowd. We wanted to celebrate that with these 4 bangers.” Tove Lo explains. “Sam and I met on the dance floor and I think when we first worked together we felt that special creative connection that rarely happens. So after making a few songs together that ended up on both our albums we felt like we had more to give to our mutual fans who, like us, love to dance in sweaty warehouses.”
“After our first two collaborations, we kept getting in the studio together as the process was so natural and fun, and every time we went in we came out with something we loved!”, SG Lewis explains. “All of the beats were started from scratch in the room with Tove, minus 'Busy Girl' for which the beat was made with TEED beforehand. The writing process was always very fast and fluid once Tove found the Hook - she would come up with incredible vocal ideas, and I would produce the beats around the lyrics she was writing in real time, until we were both on our feet dancing by the end of the session. We then spent nearly a year tweaking the songs and rewriting certain parts, and TEED was able to help on with some additional production.”
Last month, Tove Lo and SG Lewis joined forces with Nelly Furtado on her single “Love Bites”. The duo have also previously worked together on tracks, “Call On Me” which appeared on both SG Lewis’ critically acclaimed album, AudioLust & HigherLove as well as Tove Lo’s highly lauded album Dirt Femme, as well as Tove Lo’s “Pineapple Slice.”
HEAT is set for release on 14 June via Pretty Swede Records, and is available to pre-order now.
