Tellingly, one of the songs that took shape in those early sessions was ‘Habits (Stay High)’.Īs well as mining her experiences (break-ups, drinking, drugs, raucous nights out and emotionally barren mornings after) for her own songs, Tove also set out to cultivate her songwriting career.

As a sign of her intent, those early recording sessions took place in a freezing cold makeshift studio. Singing in bands was something Tove also took outside the school gates, fronting a math rock band and playing what she affectionately refers to as “shitty” venues, while also earning money as a session singer and starting to produce her own demos on her computer.
