It is a record full of thrashy emo chic rooted in instinct that feels like both a reinvention and a return to the core of Tove Lo’s mission statement: making people feel everything all at once. Fans will notice that this is the longest Lo has ever taken between albums. Fans will notice that this is the longest Lo has ever taken between albums. Her last album, Dirt Femme (2022), documented many life-altering changes: she acted in her first film, went independent, and got married. After the dust settled, Lo was unsure where to head next. In these intervening years, she was filled with questions she had no idea how to resolve, let alone transmute into pop music. She searched for some kind of clarity with longtime collaborator Ludvig Söderberg. After a couple of years, she realized that not having the answer “was the answer in itself.” “I’ve got a lot of feelings but no solutions,” she sings over the opener’s dirty, metallic production. It sets the defining manifesto of this album, which can be summed up in a few words: contradictions that cannot be resolved. On ESTRUS, Lo draws a finer line across the opposites that have always existed in her work: happiness and sadness, melancholy as content, euphoria as form. Through contradiction, she gets closer to the heart of existence itself, “what it actually feels like to be a human being,” she says. It is an album that charts the full experience: dry-humping on the dancefloor, getting drunk, insecure, and starting a fight; walking home at 6am with mascara running, coming down and wondering whether it was all worth it, then doing it all again. On ESTRUS, the mind and body pull Lo in different directions. One wants to stay out all night, the other wonders whether it is time to stay home and have kids. “I just have all these tumultuous feelings flying back and forth,” she says. “I think that’s why the album feels so chaotic, but in this intentional way.” The process itself mirrored the album’s emotional volatility. Early on, she and Söderberg got drunk and began yelling at each other about everything they were going through. Out of that frenzy, the shape of the album emerged. All of the contradictions, the constant fight. She was acutely aware of the expectations surrounding her: six albums in, what do fans want? What does marriage signify to those watching from the outside? What does it mean for her queerness, for the fluid identity she has always protected? Inspired by The Knife, Robyn, and much of the Swedish indie dance music she grew up on, Lo recorded the propulsive electro-pop of ESTRUS with her longtime collaborators, as well as Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser (Addison Rae), in a small fishing village in Sweden where she spent summers as a child and where she also made parts of Dirt Femme. Returning there brought everything back: “growing up, being depressed, struggling with my eating disorder, going through breakups, family drama, loss, everything.” To get to the core of herself, she realized she had to return to where she was first formed. That messy younger self is still accessible to her, now refracted through time. With this matured perspective, Lo is at her absolute prime on ESTRUS, with songs that are among the most meticulous, observant, funny, and feral of her career. She remains a diaristic writer, but here she is more zoomed in than ever, focusing on the granular and finding, within universal feelings, her own specificity. “I like your teeth, could watch you eat for days, a fancy steak, I’ll pay,” she sings on “I’m your girl right?”, a sentiment anyone who has been obsessed with another person, and who desperately wants to bite their partner’s arm, can immediately identify with. On ESTRUS, Lo is clearly primal and in heat, but also deeply in love and in doubt. “I’ve chosen to be with this person forever… To me, it’s the most vulnerable I could ever be.” Where pop has long fixated on the rush of first love, she finds richer material in its aftermath: the neuroses, the maintenance, and all the terrifying questions. What if you are not who you thought you would be? What if you drift? What if you find your way back? She balances these deep ruminations with gut-bumping beats and restless basslines. Listening to it, you can almost picture the room it inhabits: dark and humid with bodies. “I just can’t escape dance,” she says. “I love DJing, I love going to raves.” The only feature, and one of the album’s lighter songs, is the instant eurotrash banger “Des Fleurs” with her dream collaborator Stromae, whom she has been a huge fan of for well over a decade. “And that song’s just too French not to have him,” she says. In both the album’s darker and lighter moments, Tove Lo never pretends to offer enlightenment. What she gives us instead is something much more courageous: the permission to remain in the unresolved moment, to hold multiple truths and conflicting feelings at once. Because that is where life actually happens, before everything resolves. “Usually I come out of an album with distance and perspective, but with this one I’m still in it,” she says. “This is where I’m at, and I still don’t have the answers." x Red vinyl • webstore Coke Bottle Clear • Indie Exclusive Ruby Red Sea Blue • UO Exclusive Graffiti records exclusive Lavender • Amazon Exclusive

We have GOT to say “had their photos taken by” because the way my heart just fell outta my a** V The Drama (2026) coded

Imagine the whole album is like when we first got to hear abracadabra in France, just gay screaming and a hint of music behind it

Not very ZENZEALIA of her

Comparing LIZZO to actual r*pists is crazy work

I couldn't agree more

They probably removed because of the "sixth album" issue on the text and now theyre waiting for confirmation on what number they should write

She'll get away with it. Nepo baby

I think men should be seen and not heard

Objectively, none.

If Gaga released HML today I swear half of you would call it mid

Ngl I think shooting them would have been better than the pics. How are her picture skills worse than her music career

Not really. The only people hating on her atm are MAGA incels and stuck up gays who see her actually standing for something and having substance as "annoying" or "arrogant". In other words, people that already hated her before she reaffirmed that ICE is criminal and she has particular thoughts on meat eating. I find her genuine Even if she were facing widespread backlash for something, I honestly think she'd rather flop with her principles intact than succeed by selling out. Her music is also, like, really really good She's not going anywhere tbh. And let's be really real, GGDsters only dislike her 'cause she'll always out stream Gaga.

The song title being “rock music” tho…

With the upcoming release of Madeon's new album Victory, I was listening to Fire Away (feat. Slayyyter) and the beat and style reminded me a lot of Lovedrug. So I went ahead and did a quick mashup for y'all. Let me know what you guys think and I might make a full one. https://voca.ro/1lyiWc5Dwtfq

It's not a competition but somehow it FEELS like they both win most repetitive 🏆🏆 Remember when you fell in love with the Shape of Two Women?

How the hell is Runway mid. It's so ****. Y'all should get your gay cards revoked because where are y'all's taste.

Time to announce the official release date, sister. You dipped the tip in, time to penetrate.

SHAZAM: #2 RUNWAY (+1) #58 Shape Of A Woman (+13) #107 Glamorous Life (+17)

pov you're in a competition to see who has the worst filmography, but your opponent is Lady Gaga.

Great voice, good showman who puts more effort in than most men in pop. But I find him boring. There's nothing of substance to him as of yet. No bite, nothing to say.

of her 6th album? damn the journey really does continue

It’s coming http://apple.co/LG-AML they must be testing the links for stuff possibly we could get an announcement today

I’d rather be a butthole sucker than being remembered for boiling the corpse of my cat, among other things

I mean, they absolutely should be quarantined from the general population if they’re infected. Don't really see the need to tone police that.

i should've known...

heavy metal lover teasssssss calling a genre out then not sounding like it

he should be inside me

The people who are coming in who have no idea what this is are really making me realize how much time I spend on here because wdym you don’t know what MAYHEM: REQUIEM is lmao

https://x.com/iiwasinthee212/status/2052373711366283285?s=20 "I wish you werent a tired ******* saying the same thing for 10 years having not realized the opinions of butthole suckers and **** slurpers means ZERO to a black woman surviving this sick sad world. honestly if i could throw every mouthy greasy effeminate pamper mouth nuisance in a ****ing volcano .... i would. Literally every disease on earth came out of a butthole and the people are getting hantavirus now because one of you *******s stuck your **** up a rats ass. Try shutting ur gay ass up for once" Anyone who listens to any of her three existing songs, especially gay people, should be absolutely ashamed.

LoveDrug needs to remain a hidden treasure ...but I would be happy with DCT getting more flowers down the line ☎️💔 Not to be grim, but Speechless & DCT will both probably surge in popularity after Joe's passing, first among current LMs & then (possibly) with GP/gaybies in a trickle-down way

the legendary missing track from TDWP2 soundtrack

Welp, I'm glad we can put those Gaga feat The Weeknd rumors to rest. At least for the world cup anyways ...

We are all nachos being reheated into oblivion by God. Nothing new happens anymore. Anyway, good for her, I guess.

Robert Downey Jr. recently appeared on the “Conversations for our Daughters” podcast and shaded social media influencers by saying it’s “absolute horseshit” to declare them the “stars of the future.” The “Iron Man” icon noted that “nowadays people can create celebrity without ever doing much besides rolling a phone on themselves,” adding: “I don’t look at that as a negative thing. I just look at it as more like the challenge for individuation is being upped.” “Hopefully the [larger] part of the youth of – let’s just call it America for locality’s sake – is gonna say, ‘Yeah, but that’s not my thing. I want to go do something, I’m going to make something, I want to build something, I want to educate myself and I want to have more inputs, so whatever my output is, it isn’t just a self-aggrandizing kind of influencer-type thing,” the Oscar winner continued. “When I hear people talk about, ‘Oh, the stars of the future are going to be influencers,’ I go, ‘I don’t know what world you’re living in, but I think that that is absolute horseshit,'” Downey said. “[My 14-year-old son] kinda got caught up in this whole influencer thing, and next thing you know, it’s like, ‘Hey, if you like the way I’m playing this video game, do you wanna send me a donation?’ And really, it becomes a religion,” the actor continued. “So there’s something about the influencers today that are almost like the Evangelical hucksters of the information age. At the same token, it’s different because we’re playing in this new territory and so it’s a little bit of a frontier and I don’t really have a judgment on it. I also know when I am promoting a film now I’ve gotten to know a few of these influencers, and I find many of them grounded, accomplished, cool people.” https://variety.com/2026/film/news/robert-downey-jr-social-media-influencers-future-1236739305/

Not him ending @Addison Raeso fiercely…

That's how people treat black women!

as crazy as it sounds she should stick to singing

I love that she’s saying that. I feel like more people need to be vocal about the fact that it is OK to age and the fact that it is damaging for kids to grow up seeing that what you are is not enough. I hope she follows through with that because I really do think all it takes is a few big celebrities, breaking the mold and being courageous to flip this whole narrative that you need to plump your lips and change your face and chase after youth in order to be good looking.

Oh look... another soul-sucking cashgrab sequel Makes me SICK

okay grandpa lets get you to bed….

Apple Music Live albums are in a crazy ass encrypted file type that is a true pain to convert. I have obsessional motivation however, and I did this last year for the Apple Music Live exclusive King Princess EP. So it's not impossible, it just takes a lot of time
