Background

The album was recorded in Los Angeles and Stockholm, Sweden [6] and was called a "new chapter" for Lo, "marked by reclamation of confidence, hard-earned wisdom, more time, and a budding romance". Lo also said the album title is a "play on pussy power", calling the cartoon cat "an extension of me and part of the new music". [7] Lo also said the songs are "happier" than her previous material, that the album will feature "dirty pop, sad bangers, and badass collabs", [8] and "There's definitely some club bangers on there, but some of it is a bit more acoustic". [9]

AllMusic's Heather Phares praised the album's musical direction, writing, "As Lo puts her stamp on all of Sunshine Kitty's different sounds and emotions, there's a breeziness that hasn't been present in her music since Queen of the Clouds ". [40] Hannah Mylrea of NME complimented Lo's use of her already known musical formula, stating that it is "no bad thing: [the album] features some of her best work in years as she boldly embraces new sounds and unusual collaborators". [44] The Arts Desk 's Thomas H Green praised the album's mature tone and songwriting. [41] Mick Jacobs of Spectrum Culture classified the album as an improvement over the singer's previous ones, highlighting its songwriting. [49] Similarly, Louise Bruton of The Irish Times noted that the album "feel[s] like the light at the end of the drug-fuelled tunnel that she resided in" on her previous releases, [50] while Max Russell of The Young Folks wrote "With the success of her last three moonlit albums, Tove Lo could have continued chasing the night highs, but Sunshine Kitty shines a light on a wiser yet still wild side of her". [51]

Beth Bowles of Exclaim! considered the number of tracks to be large, but stated that "Essentially, every song on this album would bring anyone to their feet". [4] Writing for The Guardian , Laura Snapes criticized Lo's nihilism throughout Sunshine Kitty, stating that it "dominated the latter half of the decade and no longer sounds as fresh as it did". [43] Evening Standard 's Harry Fletcher wrote that the album's "often forgettable collection of songs doesn’t do justice to Tove Lo’s obvious charisma and lyrical candor". [42]
