Tove Lo and SG Lewis have teamed up for a new collaborative EP ‘Heat’ – inspired by their fans in the queer community. Check out our interview with the duo below.Released yesterday (June 14), the four-track dance project came with four interlinked music videos directed by David Wilson, who has previously worked with Lady Gaga and Christine And The Queens.
Lo and Lewis only appear in the first video, ‘Heat’, which was filmed at Electrowerkz, an iconic London club that hosts LGBTQ+ and fetish nights including House of Trash, Slimelight and Roast.“We’re trying to highlight other people and the queer community more than ourselves in the videos,” Lo told NME. “The through line is someone discovering their full self for the first time in a club space – in Club Heat.”Lewis said that the videos “amplify” the mood of the EP’s four tracks, which each represent “different pockets of a night out”.
He explained: “The title track ‘Heat’ is kind of the celebratory party moment. ‘Let Me Go (Oh Oh)’ has a lustful, sexual energy.
‘Desire’ is more emotional and tender, and ‘Busy Girl’ is very much the catwalk moment.”Singer-songwriter Lo and DJ-producer Lewis previously worked together on ‘Pineapple Slice’ and ‘Call On Me’, two fan favourites from Lo’s excellent 2022 album ‘Dirt Femme‘. More recently, they teamed with Nelly Furtado for the Canadian singer’s comeback single ‘Love Bites’, which dropped in May.
“This EP was meant to be a casual fun side project, but it has ended up not being very casual because it’s hard not to give it your all,” Lo said.They are supporting the EP with a series of Club Heat pop-up gigs including a Glastonbury set on June 28. “We’ve only done one Club Heat so far but the response from the audience was
