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.

Waittttt so Megan Thee Stallion was somewhat right the whole time????? Icon

[@catkittycatcatkittycatcat3227]

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.

[@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. ❤

[@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]

I thought it was “to love” lolll

[@talianiwa]

me too!

[@lazolizs7683]

Megan is right

[@MrLatthawat]

tu-tuvelo? PERIOD tuvelo!

[@unknown-tp9wb]

not me pronounce her name like "tov-lo"

[@joshuaogues9470]

Toe vah low 😍

[@--vagidick]

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

[@iam.salem41]

Her song Desire with SG Lewis is the SOTY 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CesarGarcia-nd5xz]

God bless her 🙏🏻 ✝️ Her music is so good; Habits and Talking Bodies such of good songs

[@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”. 🥴

[@Mfer0077]

I thought Tove lo stood for To Love nice to know the backstory

[@Jacob_Pritchard]

Same

[@friskadk1677]

SAMEEE I thought no one thought this

[@bradleystallard4474]

I always thought it was a play " love to" ❤️

[@AlexInDaMix]

At the very first when I discovered her, I pronounced her name as “Towve Low”, and then I figured it out myself that she’s from Sweden and it’s pronounced “Tu-VE-LOO” and I was right I love Tove Lo

[@juliyum]

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

[@TaybearXD]

Me too lol

[@ratanasorn8080]

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

[@Brett33]

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

[@hahajaz1]

Love Tove Lo so beautiful 😍

[@nicholasbrown98]

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

[@MJAY-N7129]

Fam 😂😭

[@Neko.Virtual]

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

[@MJAY-N7129]

@@Neko.Virtual 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

[@christiansamaroo]

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

[@Hanna.-hm7rf]

love her 😍😍😍😍

[@fey0217]

megan was right the whole time.

[@TJHNNA82]

Love herr so much ❤

[@tovelover.2910]

Tuve Lu ❤

[@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!”

[@nathandavid1362]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@efthymiosn3381]

Tough love

[@lindsey.13]

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

[@karah4792]

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

[@channel_---]

I can only be in awe

[@PhysiologyShark]

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

[@itsuhmeyuh]

No it's “too-veh-low. Period!” 😂

[@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. 😉👍

[@Demi4n.igxs2]

She is so beautiful ❤

[@Kev_Smith]

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

[@Tmaas-f6o]

Tuve luuu

[@portalantipt]

The worst pronunciation came from Brazil hahahahababajjajssjjshsh

[@jossue9120]

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

[@sandr-man]

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

[@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".

[@matsborjegrans5895]

En vacker fin människa 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@FallenRage]

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

[@ew6919]

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

[@joyboi99]

[@al200604]

Not me saying her name wrong for years...

[@waynespence9122]

I always pronounced it Tove Lo

[@MrBurkistan]

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

[@azurite4296]

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

[@kijura_]

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

[@thatvolvoguy6565]

Tovelo i pronounced it just like that with an american accent

[@MrFac183]

Like the island country

[@Zebula1918]

you know before you there was Nina Hagen

[@JinxMarie1985]

Tuve lew. I call her Lynx because Lo in Sweden is lynx

[@TheRealAudioDidact]

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

[@channel_---]

[@dannyblue2178]

[@Quader417]

Dawg I’ve been pronouncing it like (s)tove lo(w) and i thought it was just a play on “Love To” or “To Love”….

Tof lo

[@sterlingarchibald8096]

Sorry sorry sorry

[@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

[@samuelhall7136]

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