She's showing her grandmother's and mother's stories in this video, I guess. She loves to tell this story in various interviews. I like it how she's not just serving looks now, but also telling a story - that's amazing 

 

Quote

“My great grandmother, my grandmother, all of these women, they had a life presented to them. They were told, ‘This is what your life is going to be like,’ by men, but instead, they were like, ‘F**k no!’ They fought for their freedom. My grandmother, she loved her husband, he died in the war. They wanted her to marry someone else. So, what does the ***** do? She says, ‘F**k no’.”

 

Her grandmother took her two children away to a different city, dressed as a man “with a kaftan and everything” and they fled, alongside her housekeeper. “I have pictures of her at home, seriously! She left everything behind, dressed as a man, so that nobody would notice her. She had a cousin in the next city, opened up a store, still dressed as a man, till she got f**king old. She raised those two children by herself with some help from her cousins and never married again. I have a picture of her; she didn’t stop wearing male clothes, she did until she died. The kaftan, the hat, the gold tooth. That was hardcore from my grandma!” - Rolling Stone

Loreen’s mother also decided to escape the pressure of family expectations by moving to a strange country, Sweden

 

The video is so beautiful, and it made me like the song even more

The video is gorgeous! I do hope it's going to continue as a story 

 

She's an unbelievable vocalist. Right at the start of this performance you can tell she her breath control is not where she wants it to be and for the rest of the performance she trying to get her breath back and can't fully unleash her chest voice as a result, yet she still sounds amazing  

The performance was amazing!

That performance was everything, she really executes a concept beautifully every time 

Finally she has BUDGET for her performances. Earlier it was only vocals and music, now it's an absolute show every time. Also this is her best 'IIL' live performance so far, I love it how low her vocals sound this time. I'm still so happy we have a proper era again even if it would end up totally flop

everything about this single is amazing

I'm extremely excited to see her in concert in 2 weeks but this song came and went for me I fear. It doesn't have much replay value like Tattoo did

The only thing that I dislike about IIL is that it's too short. I hope she releases an extended version. It needs one more minute for me.

That avi is eating, sir!!

 

"Is it love" would be great if it has full song structure including bridge and then progression into a final dramatic chorus.

 

It is pity it doesn't.

Also I hope we will get full new album eventually and it will be in quality of HEAL

 

Speaking about HEAL ... vinyl issue with the original cover would be amazing

floppage of the century 

New versions of her songs in Tattoo tour are incredible as always. 'Statements' turns into stunning electronic masterpiece, 'Ride' into hypnotic mid-tempo mantra (this is how I imagined this song until I heard it in full), 'Body' meets more ethnic details, even 'Neon Lights' sounds more like a proper song (sorry). 'Jupiter Drive' is also performed in original first version

Wait, what? She's here today? Why did I not know this? 

Seems like Netherlands/Belgium are the only countries here for this. I hear it on radio every day and I'm here for it

I just watched the Idol performance... Incredible!!!

This song has gone better and better for me, I think what sold it to me was the live performance. She really needs to release that extended version.

Loreen was invited to perform at this year's Helene Fischer Show. She performed Is it Love and Tattoo as a duet with Helene. The show will air on Christmas Day but fans already uploaded some clips from the taping

 

 

 

and still no trace of a follow up single or/an album  her booking random gigs left and right is not something a two-times Eurovision winner should be doing at this moment

New single should be in January/February and I’m going to wait for something more concrete before getting excited for an album

 

And the good sis hasn’t stopped for months, she’s currently on her tour which has been a huge success

Is It Love is my #2 biggest song of this year and Tatto is #5 so I cannot wait for the album  bring it!
