Icona Pop is back with another bop, and we want to give Just Jared readers a chance to get to know them even better!
The “I Love It” Swedish superstar duo just made the exciting announcement of their sophomore album CLUB ROMANTECH, out on September 1, accompanied by their brand new single “Where Do We Go From Here.”
The track was one of the first that Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt wrote in the fall of 2020 amid the pandemic, realizing they were unable to go to Los Angeles.
“Back in Stockholm, we formed a small crew to start making music and thought ‘what the f–k are we going to do now?’ Eclectic, fun, hard, pop, deep, mainstream, catchy, weird, late at night, early in the morning – always with a tear in the corner of the eye and a smile on our face. That’s how ‘Where Do We Go From Here’ feels and that’s how CLUB ROMANTECH feels too.”
Caroline adds: “As Icona Pop, we can release a pop tune or a super hard dance song, and that’s who we are. When we started to write this
album, we didn’t have any rules. We just had a vision we wanted to share with our fans. We’re inviting them into our world.”
“We put all of our problems and stress into what we’re doing. We love
disguising our heartbreaks and sadness in uplifting songs you can dance to. It was a
very emotional process, and it’s all in the music,” says Aino.
The record includes tracks like “Sh-t We Do for Love” with Yaeger, “Faster” and “I Want You” with Galantis, as well as “You’re Free” with Ultra Naté, “Off Of My Mind” with VIZE, “SPA” wit SOFI TUKKER and “Feels In My Body.”
