Heat is a collaborativeextended play by English musicianSG Lewis and Swedish singer-songwriterTove Lo released on 14 June 2024, through Lo's independent label Pretty Swede Records. The EP is Lewis's sixth and Lo's third.
SG Lewis and Tove Lo first began collaborating on music for Lo's fifth studio albumDirt Femme. This resulted in the songs "Call On Me" and "Pineapple Slice" when the album released in fall 2022. "Call On Me" was released as the third promotional single for the album and was included on Lewis's second albumAudioLust & HigherLove in 2023. Both continued working on songs following this and created most of them quickly before spending "nearly a year" tweaking them.[1] They also enlisted the help ofTotally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs for additional writing and production. They planned for the EP to be a casual side project, but it took on a much larger role and effort.[2]
The duo began teasing the collaborative EP in January and February 2024, along with a collaboration with Canadian singer-songwriterNelly Furtado.[3][4] This collaboration became the lead single "Love Bites" from Furtado's album7.
On 4 June 2024, they officially announced the EP with a release date set for ten days later.[1] Along with the EP release on 14 June the title track was released as the lead single and an 18+ music video featuring drag queens, clubbing, and queer people.[5] The video was directed byDavid Wilson, with videos for the other three tracks being released following. Lewis and Lo only appear in the first video, with Lo saying they were "trying to highlight other people and the queer community more than ourselves in the videos".[2] Lewis described each video as representing "different pockets of a night out".[2] The videos were filmed atElectrowerkz in London during the first Club Heat event.[2]
They promoted the EP with a series of "Club Heat" pop-up performances. They feature both artistDJing back to back along with Lo popping out for occasional vocal and dance performances.[2] The first Club Heat was held atElectrowerkz inLondon on 9 May.[6] The second, which also served as the launch party for the EP, was held on 13 June at Heart WeHo inWest Hollywood.[5] Further Club Heat events were held atGlastonbury Festival on 28 June,[7] at3 Dollar Bill inBrooklyn on 8 August,[8] and a show at theBoiler Room inSan Francisco as a part of Portola Festival on 27 September.[9]
