Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist Tove Lo revealed her first new music of 2020. Produced by fellow GRAMMY® -nominated songwriter, artist, producer FINNEAS, “Bikini Porn” comes with an official music video [WATCH HERE] and “Passion and Pain Taste the Same When I’m Weak” are both out on all digital platforms now.
Filmed in the city of Victorville and featuring a cameo by FINNEAS, the video for “Bikini Porn” was directed by Moni Haworth. “This video was very fun and very bizarre to shoot,” Tove explains. “There were only seven of us in a van as the crew (as opposed to over 100 people in the Glad He’s Gone video) driving around Victorville. Been a while since I did a run and gun shoot, I loved it! Moni is so great at that weird and gritty stuff I love. It’s sexual at times but also just funny and not every shot is meant to be flattering. I think this video is perfect for this song. Also big shout out to Finneas for doing the best cameo ever in this video!!”
Speaking on the new tracks, Tove Lo reveals, “Bikini porn (meaning tan lines, I made that up) is a sexy and weird song about letting go of your worries. I’m kinda making fun of myself in a way too,” she explains. “I sent the song to FINNEAS, whom I admire so damn much, and asked if he would be down to produce it. He gave it the grit and weirdness and bopness it needed. Such an honor working with him!!”
On working with Tove Lo, FINNEAS gushes, “I’ve been a fan of Tove Lo since the minute I first heard ‘Habits’ in 2014. Sometimes you can tell instantly that a songwriter or singer is going to have a lasting impact immediately and that’s exactly how I’ve always felt about Tove. Writing with her proved me right. The bar for bar, she’s brilliant and ‘Bikini Porn’ was exactly the song I dreamed of producing for her.”
