Tove Lo released her debut album Queen Of The Clouds 10 years ago today. To mark the occasion, she’s shared 10 facts about the album in an Instagram post. “Nothing could have prepared me for the way this album changed my life,” she writes in the caption. “I was such a mess when I wrote these songs but I still feel 100% that this album is me today.”
Tove is also teasing something for Friday. “And I am doing something special around this anniversary, I know some of you OG’s have been wondering,” she writes, before adding a smiley, the hashtag #QOTCX, and this Friday’s date.
Here’s the list of factoids:
