Tove Lo: 'Madonna did all this hard work for us, took so many hits for girls in pop music'

She says she was shocked that viewers in Sweden, a place she says is "open and equal", felt her performance could be damaging to young girls.

"Touching yourself is the least harmful thing you can do," she says.

"It's just you and your body enjoying yourself. There's no harm coming out of that."

Tove will support Justin Bieber at his British Summer Time gig in London's Hyde Park in July and the Canadian press has already questioned whether her on-stage routine is suitable for his young fans.

 

But Tove says she's sick of being quizzed about how her behaviour impacts on younger music fans.

"You're only supposed to hint, you're not supposed to want and that's the thing," she says. "You're supposed to be sexy but you're not supposed to want sex.

"So many of my male artist friends say, 'What do you mean? No-one ever asks us if we're a good or bad role model.'

"If you're a woman talking about sex you're automatically a bad girl, which is not true."

 

Tove says Madonna broke down barriers to allow female artists to express their sexuality, but says attitudes have barely evolved since the 1980s.

"Madonna paved the way - she did all this hard work for us," she says.

"She took so many hits for girls in pop music.

"I feel we're back there again."
