Swedish electro-pop duo Icona Pop continues their quest for global domination with their new video for the incredibly catchy latest single, "We Got The World." Although the duo has yet to release a full-length album in North America, the video comes on the heels of the release of their debut self-titled LP in Sweden, and features Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, the duo behind Swede club, doing what they do best: slaying crowds, partying, larking around and raging hard.
Icona Pop really really like to party and make feel-good club beats with electro house music, punk and indie pop influences. While it seemed like they couldn't get any more poppy with their feel-good anthems, they've pushed that sugary sound even further into the red with some of the most popped out anthems of the past couple of years. Being in a band is a lot of work but it can also be a lot of fun. If you were to look for an analogue for where Icona Pop fits into the music world, you'd probably start with Robyn, but with a certain X-Factor that places them on the cool-kid side of the cafeteria.
"We Got The World," is an uptempo dance track with pummeling house beats that has shades of Calvin Harris, plus Robyn at her most euphorically carefree. The girls sing over a coruscating house track. It's an explosive creddy pop single knock you over the head confection has a strong dash of EDM that shows why these Swedes are one of the most hotly tipped new groups of the year. Icona Pop don't suffer from the inherent strain and tedious nature of life on the road in their new clip, if anything, they have the most when they're not rockin' out.
Documenting their touring life, the Fredrik Etoall-directed clip dials up both sides of the pop/punk-rock dialectic to 11, and has Icona Pop seizing the day like the lyrics promise all over the place: crashing in hotels, making out with strangers at a burlesque club, spin in front of huge crowds and, riding topless through the desert, and looking too hip for life, you name it, they're doing it. If there's anything we can take away from this video, it's that Icona Pop's touring life is just as loud, catchy, stylish, fast-paced, and naked as their music would indicate. Enjoy the pair's wild ways when you watch below.
