Tove Lo’s Albums Ranked
Queen of the Clouds (2014)
Snagging the top ranking is Tove Lo’s premier album “Queen of the Clouds”.
Generating mixed reviews this album came onto the music scene with a boom. Accentuated of course with Tove Lo’s unabashed expressions.
“Stay High”, the album’s showstopper, throbs with deep bass lines and whispery vocals – an expression of numbness.
And the raw honesty in her songwriting further shines bright in “Thousand Miles”.
Overall, “Queen of the Clouds” marked an ambitious beginning to Tove Lo’s discography. Despite questions about its longevity.
Lady Wood (2016)
Trailing just behind on the list is her second album, “Lady Wood”.
This record solidified Tove Lo’s stand as a sinewy voice within electropop. She amps up atmosphere with darker and edgier stories.
Lyrically, Lady Wood doesn’t stray too far from the style set up on her debut album, but here key is the production.
The most notable track, “Cool Girl”, is an inventive commentary on unrealistic expectations of women.
The song “True Disaster” exhibits a darker vibe that defines the essence of “Lady Wood”.
Lady Wood is a solid pop album that relies more on being interesting than predictable. Tove Lo doesn’t care too much about conformity, and we like it.
Blue Lips (2017)
Next on the rank is “Blue Lips”. It continues on the same vibe as its predecessor “Lady Wood”.
Diving into personal narratives, this album explores themes of love, lust, and heartbreak.
The tracks like “Disco Tits” and “Bitches” bristle with energy and artistic daring.
Staying true to her ambitions and limits, Tove Lo builds on consistency. “Blue Lips” further highlighted her uncensored storytelling.

Again there’s a spotlight on Tove Lo’s ability to craft stories while shedding light on deeper topics.
Infused with her signature blend of dark lyrical wit and infectious pop, “Dirt Femme” again shows Tove Lo’s growth.
Sunshine Kitty (2019)
The fifth place goes to her fourth studio album, “Sunshine Kitty”.
This album is an interlude between the darker “Blue Lips” and the more playful sphere of her latest work “Dirt Femme”.
Songs like “Glad He’s Gone” and “Really Don’t Like U” are hooks that show Tove Lo’s raw, magnetic style. And that music doesn’t have to be serious.
