After months of anticipation, Aussie dance music maestro Dom Dolla has dropped his highly anticipated single 'Cave', a collaboration with Swedish pop sensation Tove Lo. This marks the first official pairing for these two musical powerhouses, and it's safe to say, the result is explosive.
'Cave' is a pulsating blend of Dom Dolla's signature driving beats and Tove Lo's seductive vocals. The track opens with a soft, almost ethereal hum before erupting into a shimmering soundscape of pulsing synths and a relentless beat. Tove Lo's vocals glide over the music, simultaneously flirty and confessional, weaving a tale of irresistible attraction and inevitable surrender.
The chorus is an undeniable earworm, with Tove Lo chanting, "I know all your tricks and you lick your lips, because you know I'm gonna cave." It's the kind of line that will be echoing in your head long after the song finishes, and destined to become a staple in Dom's high-energy live sets.
Speaking on the collaboration, Dom shared, "Tove and I have been mates for a few years now, I think we are both surprised it’s taken us this long to get in the studio together... Collaboration is easy when you’re working with great people who share a vision." He also acknowledged the influence of drum and bass, a genre close to his heart from his early days playing shows in New Zealand, stating, "I love that there are no rules anymore. I hope you like Cave as much as we do!"
Tove Lo also expressed her excitement about the track, recalling the organic nature of their studio session: "We'd been good mates for a while and decided to try a session when we were both in LA between tours. Very low pressure had no idea we were gonna come up with this belter." She described the song's energy as "haunted but sexy", perfectly capturing the essence of a tempting but toxic relationship.
The accompanying music video, directed by Grant Spanier, adds another layer to the 'Cave' experience. Dom and Tove Lo are cast as vampire hunters, adding a dark and thrilling visual narrative to the already captivating track.
'Cave' arrives hot on the heels of Dom Dolla's six ARIA nominations, including Best Solo Artist and Song of the Year, and his recent single 'girl$', which topped the US Dance Radio Chart. With a massive US headline show at LA State Historic Park on the horizon and sold-out UK/EU and Australian tours, Dom Dolla is showing no signs of slowing down.
Tove Lo, meanwhile, continues to solidify her position as a pop icon, with recent collaborations alongside Kylie Minogue, Bebe Rexha, and SG Lewis.
