Swedish pop sensation Icona Pop are back, re-emerging after their 2023 album “Club Romantech”, which accumulated an astounding 250 million global streams, with an electrifying new single, “Body Type,” in collaboration with one of the UK’s fastest-rising stars in electronic music, Badger. This highly anticipated release, out today via Ultra Records, Sony Music, combines Icona Pop’s signature infectious energy with Badger’s cutting-edge house production, creating the ultimate anthem to close out the 2024 summer.
"Body Type" is an irresistibly catchy track that fuses vibrant pop melodies with the bold, bouncing beats of UK house music. The single is a celebration of body positivity, individuality, and the pure joy of dancing with friends. With its pulsating rhythm and uplifting vibe, "Body Type" is set to dominate dance floors and playlists alike.
Reflecting on the creation of the track, Icona Pop shared: "We love when music comes together like this. We made this one early summer in London, inspired by the months ahead of us and imagining what it would be like, and now it's already coming out, together with the awesome, super fun Badger! It's the ultimate song to end BRAT summer ❤️❤️❤️."
Badger, whose meteoric rise in the electronic scene has been nothing short of extraordinary, expressed his excitement about the collaboration: "For me, the release of ‘Body Type’ feels really special. To get to work with an iconic duo like Icona Pop and their incredible team of songwriters has been an amazing experience. This record almost feels like a natural progression from ‘These Words,’ my last proper release. It’s a bouncy, catchy tune that’s made for dancing. Much love to Icona Pop & the Ultra Records team for all the support!"

The night kicked off with Badger spinning a high-energy DJ set, setting the stage for Icona Pop's electrifying live performance. As they premiered "Body Type," the crowd erupted, turning the intimate space into a pulsating dance floor. The event was a night to remember, marking the perfect launch for what is already shaping up to be a major hit.
