Sweden's Tove Lo has made a series of sign language videos for her Blue Lips album to make it accessible to those who are deaf.

Announcing the news on socials, Tove Lo expressed she had been working with the deaf community to make her 2017 album accessible in ASL (American Sign Language).

Expanding on the new project, Tove Lo expressed, "Thank you to Amber for sharing your passion for this cause and helping me reach fans who otherwise wouldn't be able to experience my music, and my new friends, the incredible interpreters, who contributed their time and talents to their videos. You’re all rockstars and I hope we can continue to work together to further this important movement."

Tove Lo thanks Amber Galloway Gallego, who, back in 2015, interpreted the whole of Tove Lo's set at Lollapalooza. Back in 2015, the founder of Amber G Productions, Amber Galloway Gallego, interpreted for Tove Lo at Lollapalooza.

There's a different interpreter for each of the videos. There's 12 in total, which means the entirety of her Blue Lips record is now accessible to the deaf community.

Tove Lo is yet to follow up Blue Lips with a new project, but back in October she featured on Major Lazer's "Blow That Smoke".

Blue Lips is out now. You can find the ASL interpreted videos for Tove Lo's album over on YouTube.
