The following comes from a mission statement that appeared in the inaugural issue of SPIN. It means as much to this current staff as it did to the original writers and editors.
A confession: SPIN is imperfect. It’s rough-edged, restless, insatiably curious. A little aggressive, a little cocky. Youthfully uncompromising, but maturely flexible. Romantic - definitely! Irreverent - sure! Unpredictable - yes. Very alive.

Wait, what do you mean?

[@alicemiriah]

@@catkittycatcatkittycatcat3227look up Megan thee stallion saying Tove Lo. I thought it rhymed with the word stove like many others.

[@--vagidick]

i've been pronouncing her the way megan said it. TWO VEIGH LOW

[@soulsurvivor1-33]

I thought it was an anagram... swapping the T and L, and so meaning a toast To Love, plus an aspiration/desire for people to find/have/be in love and loving i.e. Love To... Glad to be put right. Great to hear your talking voice Tove Lo... So deep, so strong, so nice and so much more. ❤

[@lazolizs7683]

Megan is right

[@bethelll]

I thought her name was originally meant to be Love To, but she switched the first letters to Tove Lo and I've been pronouncing it as Tuhv Low

[@magicknight13]

Me too!

[@horseluver4ever623]

SAME

[@Eli.347]

[@TJHNNA82]

Love herr so much ❤

[@efthymiosn3381]

Tough love

[@Saif-zf9vb]

As an aspie I went a different route and thought it was “love to” but switching the first letters lol.

[@deanosmith7523]

💀Here all this time I thought it was pronounced “Tuv Low”. I thought her stage name was an anagram for “Love To”. 🥴

[@juliyum]

ive been say tove like dove (dove like the verb not the bird) low

[@TaybearXD]

Me too lol

[@nicholasbrown98]

Bruh here i am been reading her name was To Love...

[@MJAY-N7129]

Fam 😂😭

[@Suzuha_Amane]

she has sold her soul for fame, they reverse their names as a symbolism

[@MJAY-N7129]

@@Suzuha_Amane what?? That couldn't be any more further from the truth. She's just very honest and upfront. If anything she's too human. She's raw and unfiltered, I respect that

[@fey0217]

megan was right the whole time.

[@ToveisLove]

Tuve Lu ❤

[@ratanasorn8080]

Weird, a trick in my language would just turn “Tove Lo” to “To Love”

[@Demi4n-ig7xs]

She is so beautiful ❤

[@mystique.]

To Love ❤

[@christiansamaroo]

She’s right in the West Indies people are referred to by there middle name

[@evab521]

Love herrrr

[@hectorpavez8807]

TU TuvelOw PERIOD. TUVELOW

[@Kev_Smith]

I've been saying Towv (as in tow your car with a v on the end) Low all this time.

[@channel_---]

I can only be in awe

En vacker fin människa 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@nathandavid1362]

I love you! I love your music and lyrics!!! And videos!

[@Brett33]

I love the correct pronunciation . I always thought it was said like it's spelled .

[@MrFac183]

Like the island country

[@joyboi99]

im okay with tooo ve lawww❤

[@Mambo1061]

I thought the middle/first part was pronounced how she says it in No One Dies From Love as in “hi, my name’s Tove (kind of like Toph), you’re so real!”

[@ew6919]

I just remember people having a meltdown online when rupaul pronounced her name correctly 😭

[@lindsey.13]

if anyone is wondering, it’s pronounced kinda like toov a loo

[@MrMaster2262]

I never knew about the middle name thing in Sweden... over here in the UK your middle name is usually your Grandparents name and you go by your first name. it was interesting to find out. 😉👍

[@pupper5580]

That's strange. In Finland it's the same regarding names - the first name is like a grandads name etc. But we still use the first name, and never the second name - LOL!

[@thatvolvoguy6565]

Tovelo i pronounced it just like that with an american accent

[@TheNefastor]

I know what that's like. Even though my name is short, people consistently mispronounce it. Funny, but in a recent TV show (called 1899, if I recall correctly) there's a character called Tove. They also mispronounce it in the English dub. It's a cross we must bear, I guess.

[@al200604]

Not me saying her name wrong for years...

[@FallenRage]

Me assuming that she rearranged “To Love” to Tove Lo so I was pronouncing it like “Tuhv Loo" 😭

[@PhysiologyShark]

In my whole life, I thought it was pronounced "Tough low"

[@lexyiscloudy]

An angel tho

[@itze_]

I've been pronouncing it tove lo

[@diegobellavia]

I used to pronounce it toe-vlo

[@MistressOP]

tove lo sounds pretty.

[@itsuhmeyuh]

No it's “too-veh-low. Period!” 😂

[@channel_---]

Acute on the 'e'

[@JamesEBorban]

tuve lo

[@kijura_]

not me thinking the origin is tolove but they changed some letters to do a little trick

[@karah4792]

Ngl I always said tough love, I didn't really care how it was written cause that's what stuck with me...

[@hotmas]

Toovee loo? Nah. He says it wrong, and she confirms it to be correct to avoid being picky. Bless her heart! It's not o like in "dude", and e like in "bee". It's o like in "ooh", and e like in "head". Lo again with an o like in "ooh".

[@sandr-man]

i say her name like: To-be-Lo (spanish way)

[@Mindphaser1]

It's basically Too-veh Luh

[@yuppystick]

What happened to Marc Magrath?

[@jossue9120]

At first I tought that is was "LOVE TO" but changed at porpurse

[@Zebula1918]

you know before you there was Nina Hagen

[@azurite4296]

Why did I think her name was just switched letters for “Love To” 💀

[@Paul-oo5gz]

Rate now I know

[@portalantipt]

The worst pronunciation came from Brazil hahahahababajjajssjjshsh

[@TheRealAudioDidact]

I thought it was Toe-Vay Low, and I thought she transliterated "Love To"

[@valoesc]

[@MrBurkistan]

As a swede myself I have no idea what she’s talking about in regards to calling people by their middle name?

[@sothrothea]

[@JinxMarie1985]

[@sterlingarchibald8096]

Sorry sorry sorry

[@samuelhall7136]

If they’d accent their vowels then it would be clearer…..

[@julieg9861]

Is pronounced it as Toh - Beh - Loh 🤦

[@HonestInjury]

Now I gotta keep this to myself to avoid being that guy who immediately states empirically the correct pronunciation of a given artist’s name as though he’s known it since the beginning of time and like it is so urgent of a mistake to correct that all social etiquette is set aside and the disciplinary action must serve as a reminder of a fan’s stupidity like it would have better had they not mentioned the now scandalized musician in the first place Better to present it in a fun way with humility than with a feigned sense of shock passive aggressively

[@derickjohnson4208]

Whatever Ebba

[@twiceshy6613]

Hard to believe people care

[@KalEl0]

She is not even pronouncing right anymore. Cause no one says it right. He is butchering it. Why cant americans say it right?
