After much anticipation, GRAMMY®-nominated Australian artist Dom Dolla has finally released his eagerly awaited new single, “CAVE,” in collaboration with iconic Swedish pop visionary Tove Lo. The single, available via Three Six Zero Recordings/Columbia Records, is their first official collaboration and has been building buzz ever since Dom debuted it live at Red Rocks Amphitheater earlier this year. Fans have been clamoring for the release after standout performances at Coachella, and now the track is out for everyone to enjoy.

Dom Dolla, known for his meteoric rise in electronic music, first teased “CAVE” during a sold-out show at Red Rocks, leaving fans eager for more. The buzz intensified when he performed the track during both weekends of Coachella, where Tove Lo made a surprise appearance for a live rendition. Their chemistry was palpable as they electrified the crowd with Tove Lo’s smash hit “Habits (Stay High)” before transitioning into “CAVE” for the first time together. Now, after months of anticipation, the single is here.

“CAVE” is a showcase of Dom Dolla’s signature production skills paired with Tove Lo’s sultry and introspective vocals. Opening with a soft, hypnotic hum, the song builds into a pulsating beat that propels Tove’s flirt and confessional lyrics. The infectious chorus, “I know all your tricks, and you lick your lips because you know I’m gonna cave,” is set to become an earworm for fans of both artists.

Dom shared his excitement about the collaboration: “Tove and I have been mates for a while, and we’re both surprised it took this long to get into the studio together. ‘CAVE’ came from our first session, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.” He added that the influence of drum and bass, which had a significant impact on him during his early career, plays a key role in the track’s high-energy feel.

Tove Lo echoed his sentiment, sharing that “CAVE” was born out of a low-pressure session between friends but quickly evolved into a “belter” of a track. Describing the song’s vibe, she said it captures “the hot toxic ex you’re not over” and explained how they experimented with different vocal keys to find the perfect balance, ultimately landing on the final version we hear today.

The release of “CAVE” comes on the heels of a huge year for Dom Dolla. His previous single, “girl$,” racked up over 25 million streams on Spotify and hit #1 on the U.S. Dance Radio Chart. Dom recently garnered six ARIA nominations, including Best Solo Artist and Song of the Year, making him one of the top nominees of the year. He is also gearing up for his biggest headline show in the U.S. at LA State Historic Park, selling out 40,000 tickets within an hour.

With his blend of house, techno, and drum and bass influences, Dom Dolla is proving himself to be a trailblazer in the electronic music world. His collaborative spirit and production prowess continue to win over fans and critics alike.

Tove Lo has cemented her status as a pop powerhouse, constantly pushing boundaries with her music. Whether collaborating with the likes of Kylie Minogue, SG Lewis, or now Dom Dolla, she brings her signature rawness and edge to every project. “CAVE” adds to her long list of high-profile releases in 2024, including “My Oh My” and her work on SG Lewis’ “Club Heat.” Tove’s versatility as an artist continues to captivate fans, making her one of the most exciting voices in pop today.

Directed by Grant Spanier, the official music video for “CAVE” is a visual spectacle that mirrors the song’s high-energy and sensual vibe. The video further enhances the chemistry between Dom and Tove, adding a striking visual narrative to the already powerful track.
