NEW MUSIC: TOVE STYRKE | START WALKING

Tove Styrke has another new song, a dazzling, very upbeat track entitled "Start Walking. Although just below the surface, the lyrics reflect a relationship at the point when it's already over, you have to be the one who chooses to walk away. Styrke co-wrote the song with Caroline Ailin (Dua Lipa's “New Rules” and “Don’t Start Now”), Sly (Shawn Mendes), Lostboy (Tom Grennan, Anne-Marie) and Pablo Bowman (Marshmello, Alan Walker). Tove describes ‘Start Walking’ as “a song I made together with some amazing writers and producers, and I’m obsessed with it. It’s an upbeat song with sad lyrics, which is my favourite combination. It’s about a person who knows a relationship is over and how it sucks to be the one to leave, but you know there is no other way.” "I love the insane music video we made for the single," says Styrke of the accompanying clip. "It’s about a Swedish ‘dansband’ with supernatural powers. ‘Dansband’ is a signature style of Swedish pop music that has drawn huge audiences dancing cheek to cheek around the country for decades. My dad played in one of these bands – they were called Max Fenders – in the 1970s, which is where the idea for the video initially comes from." Before releasing "Start Walking" and featuring on "All Things $ Can Do," Styrke shared "Mood Swings."
