11.21.12 - New Music - Icona Pop
Icona Pop’s “I Love It (ft. Charli XCX)” was a fucking JAM, as was their EP that I reviewed recently. Well, after the big performance of “I Love It” in their homeland of Sweden (and, you know, it introducing them to the world), the duo is back to the synths with “We Got The World”.
The song is typical in terms of theme – drinking, dancing, dying young (did Ke$ha start this, or did someone else? Who was the first to use that recently?). But the song isn’t your average – it’s better. The verses are catchy and dance-y enough, but then the dance breakdown comes in for the chorus and you’re allllllll set. Ok, so all the elements here sound like this is just another in a long series of dance tracks latching on to what’s happening now in music…and that might be completely true…but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good! Sorry, you can’t buy this song just yet. There is a little note on the Youtube page for the video that says “Only available for download and streaming in Sweden. Rest of the world soon.” Saddd. |
