Following a number of festival appearances in Europe, Icona Pop released their self titled debut album in Sweden in 2012, with the single, "I Love It," featured on a number of soundtracks and adverts. It became a hit and led to the duo performing on a number of TV shows, including "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and "Good Morning America." Their EP, "Iconic" was released in the US shortly after and reached number 21 on the US Itunes Dance Chart.

Their internationally released album, "This Is… Icona Pop," came out in 2013 to wide critical acclaim. For the album, they wanted to display their musical diversity, melding a diverse number of influences to create the album, proving that they are not just a one hit wonder after the success of "I Love It." It is predominantly synth-pop yet with the energy of punk but it also moves to electro reggae with the track "Light Me Up" making for a diverse, exciting listen.
