Iconic EP by Icona Pop

Iconic, the second EP from Swedish duo Icona Pop, came out through TEN Music Group on 1 August 2012, and everything on it orbits one enormous, glass-rattling single. "I Love It" is pure sugar and spite: a bratty electro-house stomp that Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt shout more than sing, built for the moment the whole room joins in. It went to number one in the UK and number seven in the US, and it's still the biggest hit the pair have had.

Around it, the Stockholm-raised pair lay out the rest of their formula, synth-pop with electro house muscle and a streak of indie pop sweetness, the kind of songs the Swedish press said you could laugh and cry to in the same breath.
