Whatever Happened To Icona Pop? | 'I Love It' Hitmakers with Charli XCX

[@guiidearaujo]

Ohhh I would love to see you speaking on Tove Lo, she does such good “party sad girl music” and I don’t know why she isn’t bigger!

[@twicepilled]

I LOVE HER

[@_rafael_fr]

She's my favorite artist

[@jamangel]

Her music is sooo good

[@MarloAlvarez7]

Her latest album is the best!

[@xaviertan09]

Yessss

[@joshsantos7477]

The “This Is” album was honestly pretty good. It doesn’t feel like anything special but I don’t think it’s supposed to, it’s just such a fun listen.

[@GodsFaveSim]

Their song In The Stars is still a fucking banger. Also the video of Charli XCX screaming at a crowd in Germany saying “what the fuck I thought this song was big in Germany” is one of my favorite all time internet moments

[@anthonywheeler2082]

In The Stars is one of my favorite songs ever. It might be Icona Pop's best song too.

[@majelalover8837]

the song was actually big in Germany, but Charli was def not well known around here back then. It also didn't help that she was the act before one of Germany's biggest singers, so most of the crowd just wanted her set to be over...

[@Vmaysin]

The bridge in that song is majestic

[@hamilcross]

I stand by “ready for the weekend” being the quintessential pop song of the early-mid 2010s

[@absolutelynotellen]

I know them from the song I love It, and that also one song where they collab with Cobra Starship. Early 2010's party-pop/edm hits were something.

[@hamilcross]

cobra starship really shaped my love for electropop, it’s a shame that style has kind of died out but thank goodness for charli xcx and similar artists for keeping it alive

[@LauraNeuzeth]

I happened to be in the Paris nightclub when they recorded the music video. I actually had gone to that club to see the DJ that performing after Icona Pop but their DJ set really stood out, it was so much fun! The energy really was great when they played I Love It.

I feel like they just want to have fun and don't mind if they are big or not. That is the vibe I get and I'm glad you didn't say that is negative.

I used to loooove Icona Pop back in high school. They did eventually fall off my radar though

[@katrina7679]

@@ktbecstasy maybe to you they were, but I actually listened to all their music at the time

[@Metroid250]

I remember listening to their album. They fell off my radar until Emergency. That was mostly due to Laysha (dance group) danced to a remix version of it. That's when they came to my radar again. Then again, they fell off. They're fun to listen to. I'm quite glad to see "I love it" being used for commercials again.

[@theiceyhawttstunna6631]

I wish we could bring back the 2010’s EDM bangers. Such a fun time musically

[@anyaaa2801]

They were pregnant TOGETHER???!! Omg sisters 4 life fr 😭.

[@shadowxcx6503]

As a Charli XCX fan, i love "I love it" and like the group too. It makes you dance very quickly. Never will be a song which that dancable and powerful. I know some songs from them besides the hit. "It was fucking hit in Germany".

[@kone_of_LU_BU]

“They presented the song to Icona Pop and they Loved it.” No pun intended honest lmao. But No “Emergency” and “I Love It” by Icona Pop were my JAMS. 😭💕

I was just listening to this song not too long ago right before this just uploaded, I aware you can never go wrong with britpop edm

[@sasa18girl]

I couldn’t escape this song in high school and I ain’t mad. Icona Pop had a chokehold on my adolescence. A true pick me up whenever I was down and an overall reminder to not take life too seriously and just have fun.

This song charted everywhere except in Germany.

In 2017 Icona Pop targeted themselves for the swedish market tho, apart from collaborating with more European artists like Tove Lo, Alma or Yaeger, in 2017 they took part in the swedish TV Program 'Så mycket bättre' which is a tv show that reunites a bunch of artists that live in a house and cover each other songs. They released their first song in swedish, called 'Det måste gå', a cover of Uno Sveningsson while being on the show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJS0pZx_arVggs0 I'm a huge fan of them and they proved to be AMAZING Live singers!
