Tove Lo Music Quotations

I think that pop music in general sometimes like to keep things a bit more hidden, and, you know, you censor and you polish to make it fit more people or to not be too vulgar or make sure of, 'Can this really play on the radio?' And I like not doing that.

When people like your music because it has vulnerable honesty, and you're able to comfortably admit to flaws and imperfections, then that's the most liberating thing about being an artist.

The thing that I love about pop music is the simplicity and the directness of it.

I've always liked music that has a darker vein to it. I come from such a safe upbringing - very stable, classic family, everything's nice and good - I was always looking for something different.

I started to use music almost like a therapist, where it's like, everything that I don't really dare to say or speak about, I can sing about.

I knew when I went to a very hippie high school that focused on music that I wanted to do something in the industry.

I've always wanted my music to have that desperation, where you just want to strip your clothes off and run down the highway. I want the feeling where you don't really know what to do with yourself - in the vocals, in the production. Everything.

I'm not from a music family at all.
