Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
The Swedish pop star’s fourth album contains some of her most vulnerable writing inside her clubbiest record.
-
NME
glittering, expertly crafted pop and bold new sounds.
-
The Guardian
The Swedish star finds some illicit thrills on an edgy, intimate album that doesn’t quite have the courage of its convictions.
-
The Young Folks
With Sunshine Kitty, each song is a specific scenario or breakup in Tove Lo’s life. It is a singer relaying her experiences rather than universal themes. This is a new method for her to explore musical storytelling, but a less memorable one for an audience who found such personal meaning in her earlier work.
-
Albumism
with some delicious collaborations, club beats and great songwriting, Sunshine Kitty has achieved what it most probably set out to do: create a good album, maybe even a queer one at that.
-
Exclaim
It's sexy, raw, and honest — but above all, Sunshine Kitty is just really good dance music. Essentially, every song on this album would bring anyone to their feet.
-
Spectrum Culture
Likely her best work to date, Sunshine Kitty gives listeners the hooks and melodies everyone else promises you’ll find in Tove Lo.
-
The Arts Desk
Tove Lo’s latest has a maturity of tone to it but, happily, this is firmly riveted to an album that’s thoroughly contagious.
-
Eastern Echo
The Swedish pop star’s fourth studio album contains some of her most heartfelt and vulnerable lyrics but still has sounds that can make you dance through the night.
-
Forbes
Tove Lo Embraces The Dawn After The Darkness.
-
Standard
a collection as enjoyable as it is exasperating.
-
Medium
In my honest opinion, this album ranks below 2016’s ‘Lady Wood’ in her discography, yet is fully worthy of a listen, and is perhaps a fuller body of work than that which some similar artists have put out in revent weeks.
-
Riff Magazine
The more empowered, affirming feel at the core of Sunshine Kitty suggests she may be coming to terms with past romantic misadventures. At the very least, it adds up a solid album full of memorable passages.
-
Irish Times
Shaking off past with pulsating synths.
-
The Sentry
Sunshine Kitty, which combines Tove Lo’s sweet, earnest vocal delivery and electronic poppy production with comparably dark, moody lyrics.
-
The Times
A frank attitude to sexuality.
-
Just Random Things
The generally sexually-charged album is also woven around the singer’s rebellious teenage years up to now.
-

Sunshine Kitty is brutal honesty wrapped up in pretty pop songs. Tove Lo continues to show people just how well she can turn words of feelings and heartache into a fun time.
-
All Music
Ear-catching production touches like the slinky acoustic guitars that wind through "Shifted" and the distorted pianos on "Come Undone" add to the feeling she's finding new ways to be herself on the album.
-
ACRN
This album isn’t just fun as hell, but it’s empowering to hear. At the end of the day, it is overall a fun album that meets the quota for mainstream pop music.
-
Cryptic Rock
Sunshine Kitty is full of young love, summery vibes, and plenty of reasons to dance. The perfect balance of catchy Pop antics, fresh electronics, and Tove’s natural, vocal talents, all with a darkly moody twist, the album shows that this fierce female is truly embracing her talents and opening a new chapter, musically speaking.
-
The Rodeo Magazine
Tove Lo’s Sunshine Kitty is nothing new. I probably won’t go back to it, just like I’ll probably never have a burger ever again. I cannot even decide whether I enjoyed the experience or not, but as an album, just like an octuple bypass burger, it leaves a lot to be desired.
-
Black Boy Bulletin
Even though the overall mood is dampened during the last few tracks, Tove’s excellent vocal performances (she’s super committed to the self-destructive neurotic party girl character), complete with perfectly placed riffs, and strong lyricism save the day.
-
Mystic Sons
'Sunshine Kitty' may have the aural sensibilities of a radio-friendly pop release, but scratch below the surface and you'll find a wealth of fascinating and identifiable stories that keep this record engaging and recognisable throughout.
-
Idolator
Tove Lo's 'Sunshine Kitty' is brimming with perfect pop songs.
-
The Clock Online
It’s fun to listen to and probably would make for good background fodder, but only a few songs really caught my attention long enough for me to listen to the lyrics.
-
The Captain's Log
Overall, “Sunshine Kitty” stands as a strong addition to Tove Lo’s discography and is a great example of an artist who, while still being considered mainstream pop, takes the listener outside of the “norm.”
-
Thomas Bleach
There is a bit of variety on this record, but at it’s heart, ‘Sunshine Kitty’ is a very different record to anything she’s released before. It’s very reflective of the artist she is becoming and tackles her vulnerability in a lighter and club directed way which will be represented in her live show in a fun manner.
