Title: ICONA POP - "Light Me Up", "All Night" and album "This is..." with SHELLBACK
Post by: Eddie Krommer on May 20, 2013, 08:41:54 PM
Shellback is pretty busy these days.

He is attached to the new No Doubt album and now to Icona Pop. Now, I wish some Max Martin stuff on those projects.

I love it!

what?? this doesn't sound like Blanco ... I guess neither of "our" producers has been involved in this song, it's quite boring anyway.

Produced by Stargate according to a few articles online. Brilliant pop song and yet so simple. They have been workin with Benny in NY.

Sounds like it's played with live drums / percussion. However, it doesn't sound like a production of our songwriters. But if it's produced by one of them it's most likely Benny Blanco. Sounds a bit similar to Maroon 5's "Beautiful Goodbye" with the reggae vibe.

QuoteThe Swedish pop duo Icona Pop doesn't rest for a second! While we are still enjoying their worldwide hit "I Love It", one of the songs of this summer (although the song was released over a year ago), and even starting to get hooked to their new single "Girlfriend", Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo are preparing the next shot, entitled "All Night".
The duo has been recording the official video of this new track this week and it was directed by Marc Klasfeld and produced by Rockhard. The song will be the second single taken from their first international album "This Is..." that's scheduled for release in American market on August 27 via Atlantic Records. The single is planned to be released in July 23.

So excited about the Shellback songs. We haven't heard something by him for a while!

Seems like this is Jarrad Rogers+Shellback's (http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?p=15559118#15559118) "In The Stars".
And here's another new song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LOpzpdD_IA), I can guess it's called something like "And We Kiss" :)

New single "All Night" is out (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/all-night-single/id675507051)!

Haven't listened to the Swedish debut. Is it that bad that they replace almost all songs?

And is "Light me up" a buzz single only?

Should be soon on iTunes, and we know what Shellback did.

Their local release is the best Swedish album of 2012 to me but I guess it's quite not what I Love It fans would expect :)
We Got The World, Girlfriend and All Night feels more on a mainstream radio-path that girls want to be presented internationally.

The synth sounds very Shellback. I guess he produced it at least. The melody its quite strong too.

All night is awesome, I heard it 2 weeks ago and it grew on me. It sounds like Shellback cause of the "Max Martin" like guitars and the melodies are top notch.

Post by: turnaround on August 17, 2013, 08:46:22 PM
Was desperate enough to search for the credits and found out that only 2 songs are possible Shellback tracks (all other tracks I found on ASCAP and they were not co-written by Shellback)

The album is listed here. Release date 10/07 in the US and Germany 09/24

http://www.allmusic.com/album/this-is-mw0002562856

But it is still not at iTunes - they removed it from iTunes UK.

So maybe they are still doing some changes? Maybe the hype in the US is over, as "All night" apparently flopped (I thought it is their best song yet)

Europe gets "Girlfriend" even a EP, but not lots of buzz yet.

In The Stars (Galaxy Mix) (?) was released today on iTunes.

Sounds good. Too much reverb IMO but I like it. Sounds a bit like Shellback.

I was really sensing some Max/Shellback on the verse of "Just Another Night", but then the chorus totally threw me right off. "In the Stars" sounds like a real grower, I'll be picking the album up for a listen.

Icona Pop's stuff stands out, not quite as much, in a similar way to how Ace of Base stuck out in the early 90's. They've got a good career in front of them for the next few years, attracting all these great writers.

I agree, just as long as they can get things off the ground. So far everything they've done after "I Love It" has gone unnoticed, which is unfortunate. I hope the international album is what gets things going for them. I really like "All Night" and "Girlfriend".

Turnaround, the "%2a" in your "All Night" link shouldn't be there. :)

I think they got stuck on the idea of the songs, they are getting annoying with the cheerleading kind of stuff on the verses and I'm starting to hate it.

Nice production though.
