MØ, born Karen Marie Ørsted in Odense in 1988, makes pop that sounds like it's been out all night: husky, yearning vocals over crunchy electronic beats, indie pop with the club lights left on. She signed with Sony Music in 2012, put out the Bikini Daze EP in 2013, and followed it in 2014 with her debut album, No Mythologies to Follow, the year Denmark's music awards named her solo artist of the year.

The wider world heard her first as a guest. She showed up on Iggy Azalea's "Beg for It" in 2014, then co-wrote and sang Major Lazer and DJ Snake's "Lean On", which went to number one in a stack of countries. "Cold Water", another Major Lazer single, this time with Justin Bieber, followed in 2016.

That same year "Final Song" gave her a proper solo smash, a bright, chanting anthem that went top 10 in Denmark and Norway. The When I Was Young EP came in 2017, and Forever Neverland, in 2018, carried "Blur", a woozy, heart-on-sleeve rush. Motordrome and Plæygirl kept the story going.
