Island Records artist Tove Lo released her critically acclaimed debut album "Queen of the Clouds" today. Already praised as "the Best pop album of 2014" by Stereogum and "one of the year's strongest pop releases" by TIME Magazine, this impressive pop debut is already making waves in the U.S charts, debuting at #1 on the iTunes Alternative Album Charts and #4 on the iTunes Album Charts.

Her single "Habits (Stay High)" which garnered an impressive 22 million+ views on YouTube, early champions at Alt Nation and non-stop spins on Sirius Hits, continues to dominate the airwaves and charts. It peaked at #1 on the iTunes Alternative Single Charts, currently sits at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts -- approaching DOUBLE PLATINUM status -- and is currently the third most Shazamed single in the U.S.

Having made late night TV appearances on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers and TBS' CONAN this summer, Tove Lo also recently performed her single on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! and will be making a guest appearance tonight on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. Tomorrow night VH1's "You Oughta Know" will be live streaming Tove Lo's Webster Hall concert from 10PM EST / 7pm PST via ToveLo.VH1.com and on the VH1 app.

"Queen of the Clouds" was written by Tove Lo and is a unique trilogy exploring the rollercoaster ride of emotions during a passionate love affair and its ultimate demise. Broken into three-parts "The Sex," "The Love," and "The Pain," "Queen of the Clouds" is a highly personal and brutally honest body of work by the 26 year old Swedish pop star. The singer/songwriter whose notoriously heartfelt no-holds-barred approach to songwriting has rewarded her fans far and wide across the globe, including fellow songstresses Ellie Goulding, Lorde and Icona Pop who have publicly praised her work via Instagram andTwitter.
