Tove Lo has teamed up with English producer Jax Jones for her new song “Jacques”. The energising club banger is taken from the singer’s upcoming fourth album Sunshine Kitty.
In her flirty new single, Tove Lo recalls a casual one-night stand she had with a Frenchman. “‘Jacques’ is about a one-night fling with a French dude. It’s raw and cheeky, because that’s what that night was”, the artist wrote in a press release.
In the song’s chorus, Jax and Tove sing partly in French, partly in English: “Je m’appelle Jacques and I love you a lot/I’m with you tonight, but tomorrow I’m not/Je m’appelle Tove, get the show on the road/I’m down for one night, let’s go (Ooh la la la)”.
“Jacques” is Tove’s first collaboration with the English producer. In her recent interview with Billborad, the singer said: “I’ve wanted to work with Jax for a long time, and our two days in London were some of the most fun and awesome sessions I’ve had. He played different ideas and tracks, and I would just get in my zone and improvise melodies ’til I sang something we all loved”.
Tove Lo’s fourth studio album called Sunshine Kitty arrives on September 20 via Island. The singer has already shared two other singles from her upcoming LP, “Glad He’s Gone” and “Bad As The Boys” recorded with Alma. Other guest artists appearing on Sunshine Kitty include Kylie Minogue, Doja Cat and MC Zaac.
“Jacques” is also featured on Jax Jones’ long-awaited debut album Snacks, which is out next month. It contains all the songs from the producer’s 2018 EP, in addition to six new tunes.
