Tove Lo and SG Lewis are back with a fantastic new EP titled HEAT, an exhilarating collaboration that is sure to captivate dance floors around the world. The four-track EP, scheduled for release on June 14 by Pretty Swede Records, promises to be a celebration of the queer community and the colorful spirit of dance culture. Beginning today, fans can pre-order or save the EP.
HEAT is co-written by GRAMMY®-nominated Tove Lo and globally renowned producer SG Lewis, who also helmed the production. The EP features additional production from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, adding another layer of dynamic sound to this highly anticipated release.
Discussing the inspiration behind HEAT, Tove Lo shared, “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 four bangers.” Reflecting on their creative synergy, she added, “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. 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.”
SG Lewis echoed Tove Lo’s sentiments, adding, “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 elaborated on their creative process, noting, “All of the beats were started from scratch in the room with Tove, except for ‘Busy Girl,’ which 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 helped with some additional production.”
The collaboration between Tove Lo and SG Lewis is not new. Last month, they joined forces with GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Nelly Furtado on her latest single “Love Bites,” a sultry dance anthem that channels the energy of dance floors and live DJ sets. Fans can watch the official visualizer for “Love Bites” now.
Their previous joint efforts include the hit tracks “Call On Me,” which appeared on SG Lewis’ critically acclaimed album AudioLust & HigherLove and Tove Lo’s highly lauded album Dirt Femme, as well as the fan favorite “Pineapple Slice.”
This spring, SG Lewis also announced the launch of his label Forever Days, dedicated to club-focused productions and championing music by artists he loves. The label’s debut tracks, “Costa” with French artist Chloé Caillet and “Simple Times” with DJ Seinfeld, have already made waves in the music scene.
With the release of HEAT on June 14, Tove Lo and SG Lewis are set to deliver an unforgettable summer soundtrack. Pre-order or save the EP now to ensure you don’t miss a beat.
