It'll be backed by remixes from Jakwob , Bobby Champs , Fix8 and [...]

Kjell B Persson Know what the worst thing about not going to SXSW this Spring was? Not missing SXSW, but not having my previously annual late-Winter vacation. In fact, save for a weekend jaunt to New York last November, the last time I got out of the 416 was Labour Day - that's well over eight months ago, and right mental. And while I'd like to say that the European theme of this post is a hint as to where I'm getting away to, it unfortunately is not. I still hope to make it across the Atlantic later [...]

This time they'll be performing a set at The Fonda Theatre on Thursday, August 29th along with k.flay and Sirah who will be opening up the show.

It only took  Icona Pop  a year to snag a Top 10 single with their still-great-even-if-I'm-sick-o f-it-by-now party track "I Love It," and now that the Swedish twosome have earned some impressive success (and gone platinum), they're not going to squander it: They've announced a big, splashy North American tour with support (on select dates) from Sirah  and  K.Flay , hitting some major venues — a ton of festivals and a few more intimate theaters — and it kicks off at a festival in Ozark, Arizona (lots of Swedish pop fans there) on June 2 before closing in [...]

Che la Svezia sappia coltivare i suoi talenti pop è indubbio: dagli ABBA (idolatrati anche in un museo ) in avanti, non passa anno senza che il paese scandinavo non sforni qualche nuovo nome in grado di scalare le classifiche musicali mondiali. Quest'anno è il turno delle Icona Pop, duo di elettropop composto da  Caroline Hjelt e Aino Jawo , che sta conquistando le charts grazie alla canzone I love it, che campeggia nelle prime 10 posizioni di iTunes in Italia, sia nella [...]

The following morning, the girls returned to the small screens for an exclusive performance on ABC’s Good Morning America, where they performed two songs from their forthcoming album.

Icona Pop - I Love It (Cobra Starship Edit) - DOWNLOAD LINK

I'm pretty excited that this song has finally broken into the Top Ten. It's a dance song in the 80's/90's tradition as opposed to, for instance, the song I played last week. By that, I suppose I mean that it is a little less worried with "looking cool" and a little more into having a good time. You could make the claim that it's repetitive or mindless, but I think it is just so so so fun. I think it looks like they're both having a good time. Oh, and my theory is that neither of them actually [...]

Apenas duas músicas lançadas e uma das grandes promessas de 2013, o quarteto Kate Boy mostrou que tem potencial para se situar entre os grandes nomes do pop atual. Seja com o single "Northern Lights" ou com a b-side "In Your Eyes" , o grupo, que já escreveu músicas para outros artistas e mescla a perfeição das produções suecas com a incrível voz da australiana Kate Akhurst, nos dá agora mais um aperitivo do que esperar do seu aguardado álbum de estréia, que deve ser lançado ainda esse ano. "The Way We Are" [...]

The slow ascent of  Icona Pop 's "I Love It" from bleepy-bloop blog buzz track to commercial hit has taken, well, over a year — but it's still a great song, isn't it? Still one of those songs that feels bright and punchy and summery and full of life and good feeling, no matter how many times you hear it. So the girls (Carolin Hjelt, looking ethereal in white and Aino Jawo much more menacing cool in black) took the stage on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon for the debut night show performance of [...]

Icona Pop's single "I Love It" may have been released last May, but that hasn't stopped it from continuing to reach phenomena status. Case in point: the duo is still playing the hit song on late night stops, to an audience that is just as enthralled as they would've been a year ago. Watch a [...]

Electro-Swedes, Icona Pop continue to "take" America. Following their performance on Dancing With The Stars  and soundtracking on a club scene in Girls,  the duo have now appeared on U.S TV's best musical offering, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Nearly a year since it was originally released, their standout track and pop smasher 'I Love It' still remains as infectious today. Or indeed last night, when they performed the track on the late nighter. Watch that performance in full below:

Those Americans aren't short of places for artists to peddle their wares, and after recent notable appearances from The National , Justin Timberlake and Tyler, The Creator among many, many more, it was the turn of DIY favourites and Swedish electro maestros Icona Pop this week. Watch the pair performing 'I Love It',the track which gained a new following after its appearance on hit US show, Girls, on last night's show. Read our recent interview with Aino and Caroline , the full version [...]

On May 9th, 2012, the Swedish duo Icona Pop released their deliriously fun electro-pop anthem "I Love It." One year later, almost to the day, the single's campaign continues with one of its highest profile placements, just short of that coked-up Girls scene , with a stop by the studio of the future Mr. Tonight Show , Jimmy Fallon. And this should offend nobody; the track still taps enough fresh endorphin stores to make it a viable candidate for a second straight Song Of Summer designation. Also, shoutout to Fallon 's director for the smart, [...]

The ICONA POP were being so rad on the Jimmy Fallon show with a performance of I LOVE IT .
