Tove Lo’s electronic-charged pop track “Blood In Your Eyes” is the latest single from Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, and it features in Rockstar’s new pre-load video for the game. With its bright, playful pop sound, the track certainly brings a welcome lift to the run-up to launch. The full 34-track album is set to arrive November 19, alongside the game. As of now, announced singles already span a wide range, from Yung Lean’s collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin to songs by Morgan Wallen, Cardi B and Keith Richards.
A soundtrack for the drive
In addition to the exciting pre-release music drops, Rockstar has also begun revealing GTA VI’s in-game radio stations. The selections announced so far include modern Latin music on Cocoteo, amapiano on Afro Bank FM and hip-hop on Dirty South Classics. The company hasn’t said whether songs from The Album, including Tove Lo’s new single, will also appear on those stations.
Whatever the overlap turns out to be, the range is part of what has always made GTA’s music feel personal. The radio lets players build a soundtrack around their own version of the game, whether they’re racing through a mission or taking the long way across town. In fact, in GTA V, I’ve literally stopped whatever I was doing just to cruise around Los Santos with M83’s “Midnight City” on Non-Stop Pop FM, and I'm positive I'm not alone. But that’s essentially the appeal of bringing so many musical styles into the world: a song can become part of a player’s own story, or simply earn a place on their playlist after the game is over.
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album and Grand Theft Auto VI are both scheduled for November 19; the game will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. And make sure to check out the new Tove Lo song, included below.
