Icona Pop - I Love It

During second last weekend in August (24-25th of August) joined The music festival Popaganda at Eriksdalsbadet there all 20 acts Performed.

A festival that I have attended in the past 5 years, or is it 6, anyway, different roles there have been, this time, I was responsible of the main stage, with a great mix of artists would participate, I thought to share some of them over the next coming days.

What I love about this festival is that the smaller acts are lifted up and given space to share their creative ideas in terms of music. Sure, there is added to some gunpowder to arrange good headliners, but I like the basic concept.

First out in this Popaganda Special here at Tune Of The Day is the Swedish DJ and electropop duo "Icona Pop" The duo, established in 2010, is made up of Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt.

Aino Jawo was born on 7 July 1986 and Caroline Elizabeth Hjelt on 8 November 1987. For some time, the duo was based in London, where they attracted international attention, including the debut single "Manners" on French Kitsuné Music, and "Nights Like This" on British Mercury Records. Other songs included "Lovers to Friends," "Sun Goes Down" and "I Love It".

In 2011, they were featured on "Mind Your Manners", a song by American indie hip hop duo Chiddy Bang, features Icona Pop. The song also appeared as a track on American series Now That's What I Call Music! 39.

In the summer of 2012 they took part in a number of festivals including electro music festival Summerburst in Gothenburg and also appeared at the Stockholm Stadium, at the start of a major international festival and broadcast via Sveriges Television (SVT). They are releasing their debut album in autumn 2012. "I Love It", a pre-release of their coming album has already charted on Sverigetopplistan, the official Swedish Singles Chart.

Icona Pop who have gone like a steamroller with their summer hit "I Love It" their electro dunk and fuck you-statement that can get any pop/dance fellow anywhere to dance as insane at sunset.

Icona Pop Popagandas played on the main stage on Saturday and got an incredible move, very catchy, but far too early, had actually preferred this act later, like the second last or something.
