TOVE LO & SG LEWIS TEAM UP FOR NEW COLLABORATIVE HEAT EP

Tove Lo and SG Lewis, both joining forces for the clubs this summer with their sensational collaborative EP, HEAT out June 14 via Pretty Swede Records. Co-written by GRAMMY® nominated Tove Lo and globally renowned sound master SG Lewis, who produced the EP, the 4-track EP also boasts additional production from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

Speaking about the inspiration behind HEAT, Tove Lo reveals, “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.” she 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.”
 
About the EP, SG Lewis adds, “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!”, he 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 GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum artist and global superstar, Nelly Furtado on her brand-new single “Love Bites”, a sultry dance anthem that channels the energy and escapism of dance floors and live DJ sets that sparked Furtado’s inspiration. 

The duo has 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 fan favorite “Pineapple Slice.”
 
This spring, SG Lewis announced the launch of his label Forever Days; an outlet for his club-focused productions made strictly for the dancefloor and a place to champion music by artists he loves. The announcement came with the release of the label’s first two tracks “Costa” a collaboration with French artist Chloé Caillet and “Simple Times” with DJ Seinfeld.
