On the dance floor in 2009, Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo effectively formed Icona Pop. Long before dropping the multiplatinum era-defining anthem “I Love It” [feat. Charli XCX] and skyrocketing to worldwide renown, they crystallized an eternal friendship and creative partnership during their very first Stockholm club evening together. Upon settling in Los Angeles in 2018, Icona Pop drew on those same formative inspirations as they crafted new music. “We took the time to figure out who we are,” says Aino. “After having huge success, a lot of people want to tell you what you should do. For us, it was so important to ask, ‘Who are we?’ We figured out who we are right now. We’re ten years older. We’ve been through heartbreaks and tough situations. We have a lot to tell. It’s more honest than it’s ever been. When we began writing again, we leaned into the dance music we were inspired by in the beginning. It’s a new time for us.” In 2019 Icona Pop found the perfect partner in ULTRA and set off with a series of dance floor - ready releases starting with “Next Mistake” - produced by Hudson Mohawke, Nannon Veen, and YARO, the iridescent club pop track glows with warm synths and a hypnotic hook. Since the start of 2020, the group has collaborated with Steve Aoki and Hayden James, with more solo and collaborative music on the way.
