    Easily Tove Lo's best work on "Sunshine Kitty." Brilliant production and club-ready bangers are sure to sweep you off of your feet. Some highlights on the project include "Glad he's Gone" "Bad as the Boys" "Sweettalk my Heart" and "Really don't like u"

    The album seems to be much more mature and different than its predecessors, but still maintains a high level.

    There are only few albums or songs where I struggle to stay professional and this is one of them. It's such a pop masterpiece with ballads, bangers, radio hits, some latin vibes, some disco feels. The lyrics and the visuals cut deep sometimes. It's confident, it's bold, it never looks back. Every song is better than the other, they're all somewhat different yet belong together. There's noThere are only few albums or songs where I struggle to stay professional and this is one of them.

    Альбом переплюнул своего предшественника и встал практически на один уровень с ее первыми двумя работами. На альбоме есть все, начиная с танцевальных хитов, заканчивая более медленными композициями. По лирике альбом так же находится на вершине, как и все ее предыдущие релизы. По итогу Туве выпускает олин из лучших поп альбомов года.Альбом переплюнул своего предшественника и встал практически на один уровень с ее первыми двумя работами.

    Sincere and intense. Lyrically really interesting with strong and emotionnal messages, 'Sunshine Kitty' offers some variety in the mainstream pop landscape.

    Profundo e pesado, mas ao mesmo tempo alegre e sentimental. Um retrato do jovem que lida com o relacionamento dos amigos e não se entende com os seus sentimentos.

    Tove Lo puts out pretty consistently good pop music. That said, there's nothing particularly new here. I would like to see her take at least a slightly different direction now that she's released 4 better than average pop records.

    After three very well-made pop-perfection studio albums, Tove Lo is back with her fourth effort, "Sunshine Kitty", which is, needless to say, just as well thought-out.

    Ms. Lo is back with her catchy hooks, her raspy beautiful vocals, and her intimate (sometimes, R-rated) lyrics, but somehow, following the same formula is never boring with her. She always finds new ways to make it interesting, and relatable. She wears her heart on her sleeve on tracks like 'Sweettalk my Heart' and 'Mateo' which turns them into instant highlights. She turns it up and takes us to the club with tracks like 'Jacques' and 'Are u gonna tell her?'. She sings about a same-sex heartbreak ('Bad as the Boys'), but also won't stop comparing herself to a female counterpart stealing her man ('Really don't like you', 'Mistaken', the latter being easily the best song on this record). She empowers her bestfriend (and women in general) on 'Glad He's Gone', and expresses how much she's done giving to someone who won't reciprocate on 'Shifted'.

    That's how diverse this record is. It's guaranteed that anything you're feeling will fall somewhere on the spectrum "Sunshine Kitty" delivers, which proves that Tove Lo's career is on a rollercoaster that only goes up.    … Expand

    Letras tristes, celebración y el 'come-down' de las drogas. Eso hace a Sunshine Kitty una mezcla perfecta entre pop, dream pop y sonidos electrónicos; también es el álbum donde a Tove Lo se le escucha con más poder vocal.

    innovative but still in her style, Tove Lo never disappoints. the influence of electronic music is strangely comforting, her voice combines with everything in this album. Clever and representative compositions, well-constructed choruses and unexpected feats make this album an extraordinary experience.

    As Lo puts her stamp on all of Sunshine Kitty's different sounds and emotions, there's a breeziness that hasn't been present in her music since Queen of the Clouds.

    Lo‘s 2014 song Habits popularised luxuriant pop nihilism, a sound that dominated the latter half of the decade and no longer sounds as fresh as it did.
