Tove Lo and SG Lewis Reunite for Sizzling Summer EP, “HEAT”

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.”
