Review
Icona Pop serves up a non-stop extravaganza with THIS IS… ICONA POP, a veritable firecracker of synth-pop explosions that never lets off steam. Theirs is a high-energy affair, as they crank up the electro-house vibes and serve up party anthems that are just begging to be screamed at the top of your lungs. The opener is a frenetic juggernaut, with tracks like “All Night” zooming in with pulsating beats and hooks that get stuck in your dome so fast. The album’s first half reads like a single long party, with no brakes in sight before the pace slows down briefly with the poignant “Just Another Night,” but that’s just a tease for the romantic closer “Then We Kiss.” Can’t say enough about this infectious euphoria!
Get ready to sweat and let loose, because THIS IS… ICONA POP is basically a 120-bpm cardio workout. It’s electrifying, no doubt, and every single beat is injected with fearless raw energy. The duo masters the art of building tension, gradually ratcheting up the anticipation before unleashing a sonic slap to the face with compositions like “I Love It" leaving you gasping for air. But don’t be fooled – it’s still Icona Pop doing what they do best, their unbridled confidence and relentless drive making every moment of THIS IS… ICONA POP an exhilarating explosion of fun. - Vega
