Tove Anna Linnéa Östman Styrke (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈtǔːvɛ ˈstʏ̂rːkɛ]; born 19 November 1992) is a Swedish singer and songwriter. She gained popularity as a contestant on Swedish Idol 2009, finishing in third place. After the show, she started a solo career in electropop. She signed with RCA Records to release her self-titled debut album (2010), which led New York Post to included Styrke in its "10 Artists to Know in 2011" list. Her second album, Kiddo (2015), peaked at number 14 on the Sverigetopplistan chart, and her third album, Sway (2018), peaked at number 11. Her 2017 single, "Say My Name," was included in Rolling Stone's 100 best songs of the decade.
