- Swedish duo Icona Pop became internationally known through “I Love It” and shared touring, partying, parenthood and DJ work.
- Their close friendship and professional partnership later broke down, eventually leading them to couples therapy.
- The duo has reunited and returned with a new album.
Icona Pop became global stars with “I Love It,” and for years the Swedish duo did almost everything together. They toured, partied, had children and DJed with a breast pump ready.
The partnership was more than a band relationship. They were best friends. Then, as Dagens Nyheter describes it, everything crashed, and repairing the relationship eventually required couples therapy.
Now Icona Pop are back with a new album. The interview is presented under the headline “We were never sex symbols, for better or worse,” reflecting on the image and path of a duo that built its career and personal lives side by side.
