32 - Tove Styrke: the new album 'HARD' & touring with MARINADescription
I could not be more excited to have Sweden’s finest Tove Styrke on Léim Thart! While she was in Dublin opening for MARINA, I got all the details from the tour, her brilliant new album HARD, and her experience of Dublin!
Over the past decade, Tove Styrke has emerged as one of the pop world’s sharpest and most fascinating observers of the human heart. On her fourth album ‘HARD’, the Stockholm-based pop star brings her fiercely intimate lyrics to a truly visionary sound, spiked with elements of everything from left-of-center club music to experimental art-pop to early-’60s girl-group records.
Following tours with industry titans Lorde & Katy Perry, ‘HARD’ marks the highly anticipated follow-up to 2018’s album ‘Sway’ — a massively beloved effort whose lead single 'Say My Name' landed at #11 on Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Songs of 2017 list. In the writing and recording of ‘HARD’, the platinum-selling, Swedish Grammy Award-nominated artist expanded on the unfettered ingenuity that’s always defined her forward-thinking brand of alt-pop.
