So it's that time of year where people start talking about potential "songs of the year", and Stockholm pop duo Icona Pop's latest single, "I Love It", seems like a righteous contender from the get-go. Delectable, empowering, infinitely repeatable a slice of buzzy electro euphoria that fits easily with both modern pop and electronic music's recent turn towards total maximalism.

Van She - "Idea Of Happiness" I’ve already posted “Idea Of Happiness,” the new single from Aussie BTW Van She. And now the French dance producer SebastiAn has turned in a buzzing, clanking, club-ready remix of the track. Back in the day (like four years ago), this used to be called “blog-house.”

[Alternative] The Neighbourhood - Wires

I’ve been crushing on The Neighbourhood’s “Sweater Weather” for a few weeks now. So I'm pretty stoked that their EP, I’m Sorry is out on Monday. Check out new hip hop-leaning cut “Wires.”. I’d put money on The Neighbourhood being the next indie pop sensation to chip away at David Guetta-esque house-pop’s stronghold on American pop.
