Tove Lo and SG Lewis’ ‘Heat’ Video Is So Steamy You Have to Be Over 18 to Watch It

Tove Lo and SG Lewis’ ‘Heat’ Video Is So Steamy You Have to Be Over 18 to Watch It

Dildos, pasties, and steamy makeout sessions take over Tove Lo and SG Lewis’ new “Heat” music video. On Friday, the singer-producer duo dropped an EP of club-ready collaborations titled Heat and released an NSFW video for the title track to accompany it.

“We wanted to make something with a similar temperature as Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t get you out of my head’…sexy, cool and hypnotic,” Tove says in a press release.


The video takes a snapshot of a gay club with Tove and SG performing in a room filled with queer people getting frisky, drag queens strutting down a runway, and Love playing with dildos onstage. Because why not? (You’ll have to click here to watch it so YouTube can verify your age.)

“With this EP we wanted the visual aspect to reflect the free, open, and sexy energy we’ve put into the music, surrounded by our queer fans who inspired us to make these songs.” Tove Lo said in a statement. “So we reached out to the amazing David Wilson, who’s very much a part of the queer community in London. He had free reign to create an environment, where we would all be feeling ourselves without being censored in anyway. It was honestly the most fun I’ve had at a shoot.”

“Heat” is the first track of the four-song project to get a video and will follow a protagonist named Ali as she goes through Club Heat, a fictional, queer nightclub in London.

“Each video we shot was a different perspective on ‘Club Heat’; depicting the breadth of experiences in nightlife. The queer nightlife scene in London has fueled and inspired me throughout my whole adult life, so I was beyond thrilled to be selected as the director to bring this to life,” said Wilson in a statement. “This is a depiction of queer London nightlife now: the queer scene in 2024, where the non-binary queer crowd is the predominant force.”

“The aim was to represent queer joy personified, uncensored, and undiluted,” he added.

Tove says she made the project specifically with “drag queens and sassy bitches” in mind, and recreated the “Heat” video’s energy as the singer performed with SG at West Hollywood club Heart during a two-hour DJ set that featured an appearance form drag performer Valentina.

The new four-song EP follows a collaboration with Nelly Furtado on “Love Bites” and a pair of songs from Tove’s 2022 album, Dirt Femme. Lewis produced fan favorites “Call on Me” and the sexy “Pineapple Slice.”

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

Dominique Fils-Aimé Follows Her Heart and Own Rules

You know that little inner voice whispering in your ear to be cautious about this, or to give more weight to that? Dominique Fils-Aimé always listens to it — especially when people push her to go against her gut instinct. The jazz artist doesn’t care for conventions or received wisdom. She treats every seed life drops along her path as an opportunity to follow her instincts. To go her own way. To listen to her heart. And it pays off.

The Montreal singer-songwriter tends to question everything we take for granted. Case in point: applause between songs at her shows. Anyone who’s seen her live knows she asks audiences to wait until the end of the performance to clap, so as not to break the spell she creates each time.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.
