Today, Swedish recording artist Tove Styrke releases "Say My Name (Acoustic Version)" via Sony Music Sweden/RCA Records.

The original version of "Say My Name," which currently has over 6 million streams worldwide since its April release, is Tove's first single since her 2015 U.S. debut Kiddo. It has garnered significant buzz, reaching #11 on Spotify's US Viral 50 chart and #12 on the Global Viral 50 chart. Additionally, the track is Lorde-approved, as the singer included the track on her "Homemade Dynamite" Spotify playlist. The song was also #1 on Hype Machine and has received stellar press coverage, with outlets such as Pigeons and Planes coining it "a summer hit" and Noisey calling it "the best song ever made by a person." "Say My Name" is co-written and produced by fellow Swede, Elof Loelv, who has worked with artists such as Rihanna ("Stay" feat. Mikky Ekko), Zara Larsson and Icona Pop. Lena Dunham recently co-signed Tove Styrke on her Instagram, calling her a "dream woman."

A platinum selling and Grammy nominated artist in her native Sweden, Tove Styrke has been on a fast rise since the release of Kiddo, bolstered by striking lead single, as well as strong follow-ups, "Ego" and "Number One." The album paved the way for a full North American headline tour, SXSW appearances, a performance on Late Night with Seth Meyers and widespread critical acclaim. As Pigeons and Planes exclaimed, "Tove carries herself in a way that makes it impossible not to smile throughout the show. She's fun, a little weird (in a good way-think MØ, Grimes, Björk), and totally captivating." Noisey added, "...The Swedish singer is coming back louder than ever," and NYLON called her "...one of the country's biggest up-and-coming singer-songwriters." Tove Styrke first landed a record deal with Sony Sweden in her late teens, which led to the 2010 release of her debut album, Tove Styrke. Since the release of Kiddo, Styrke has stayed busy in the studio as well as touring with Years & Years and a UK television performance on Top of the Pops with Alan Walker.
