Tove Lo and SG Lewis dropped their brand new EP HEAT on Friday (June 14)! The new body of work features four tracks from the pair, and they are also set to release music videos for each song, with David Wilson as the director, as an “ode to queer dance floors around the world,” according to Tove Lo. The first comes with the title track, “HEAT,” with the NSFW visual filmed on location at London nightclub Electrowerkz, a staple in the LGBTQ+ club scene in the city. Keep reading to find out more… “With this EP we wanted the visual aspect to reflect the free, open and sexy energy we’ve put into the music, surrounded by our queer fans who inspired us to make these songs.” Tove Lo shared in a statement. “So we reached out to the amazing David Wilson, who’s very much a part of the queer community in London. He had free reign to create an environment, where we would all be feeling ourselves without being censored in anyway. It was honestly the most fun I’ve had at a shoot.” SG Lewis added, “We wanted the video to celebrate the queer community, and for the shoot itself to be a big sweaty party. Once we met David on zoom, we had full trust in his visions and gave him full creative control. Tove has gotten so good at DJ’ing, and we played B2B for a total of 4 hours, it was so much fun!” The music video director, David Wilson, also spoke about narrative of the music videos and working with the artists. “HEAT is a project consisting of 4 music videos, one for every song of the HEAT EP. The videos are strung together by the narrative of Ali, a protagonist that journeys through ‘Club Heat’, a fictional, queer London nightclub,” David Wilson said. “Each video we shot was a different perspective on ‘Club Heat’; depicting the breadth of experiences in nightlife. The queer nightlife scene in London has fuelled and inspired me throughout my whole adult life, so I was beyond thrilled to be selected as the director to bring this to life. This is a depiction of queer London night life now: the queer scene in 2024, where the non-binary queer crowd is the predominant force. These are parties that organically house the diversity in queer spaces whilst also including the binary. Everyone is celebrated. The aim was to represent queer joy personified, uncensored and undiluted. Tove and SG were a dream to work with.” Check out the “HEAT” music video here, as well as the full HEAT EP below…
