A Bork of Human Language

Tove Lo - I'm Your Girl Right?
(From I'm Your Girl Right? single; 2026)


Finally a 2026 Pop single which tickles my fancy, courtesy of old Martorialist favourite Tove Lo. Bury me with the Lo on because I've been partial to Tove's music since Habits (Stay High), with Disco Tits being her choon ne plus ultra. In fact, she's only of the only modern pop singers who is believable as a dirtbag because she has a certain sleaziness which is unique to Bork birds from northern Europe. A couple of unexpected but welcome little touches on this song: either by accident or by design, she sounds like she's singing in an Essex accent during the pre-chorus and chorus; and that Rave piano on the pre-chorus is so effective it could have rang bells at Quadrant Park in 1991. This shit would be my favourite non-Rap song of 2026 thus far if it weren't for Mr Gone (Fingers Edit) by The IT.
