New from Tove Lo - Thousand Miles

You know the drill by now: Tove Lo is from Sweden. She is responsible for half a dozen excellent pop songs, including the chart-bothering Habits (Stay High) and Girls Aloud's swansong, Something New. She is a bit of a wildchild, and peppers her interviews with quotes like: "I once set another girl's hair on fire accidentally".

Her album Queen of the Clouds is out next week if you live in the "rest of the world" but - GRRRRR - it isn't even on the schedules for the UK, which means it'll probably be out sometime in 2015 (even though she's playing the Electric Ballroom in November - double grrr).

Of course, you could do what I just did and pre-order it from Amazon's French site (it cost £14.49 once all the taxes and shipping costs were counted but, trust me, it's totally worth it).

If you're not up for all that hassle, Tove's just uploaded a new song called Thousand Miles to YouTube. It's taken from "THE PAIN" section of her album and she describes it like this: "There's no good way to end things - cause it's ending, you know? Passion comes with pain. Here's Thousand Miles, the song that brings me to tears and still lights that string of hope that 'maybe we'll make it'".

It is, inevitably, quite good.
