Kiddo is the second studio album by Swedish electropop singer Tove Styrke. It was released on 8 June 2015 by Sony Music.[1] The album includes all five original songs from the EP Borderline.
The title Kiddo is a direct reference to Beatrix Kiddo from the Kill Bill films.[2] According to Styrke: "I like her character a lot — she's empowering and cool. Kill Bill was an influence from some of the songs [on the album], and especially in the beginning of the creative process of this album. I also have a love-hate relationship with the word "kiddo," it's something that people say in a demeaning manner. I felt if I took that word and used it almost as a superhero name, then I would take the power away from them and use it as a strength. That's the interesting part about language, you can use it to tell your own story. I like doing that when I write".
Spin rated Kiddo with 8 from 10 and named it "Album of the Week". Time reviewed the album favourably and called it "a Feminist Pop Triumph".
