Swedish duo Icona Pop are back with their latest standalone single, "Brightside", an addictive mesh of EDM and dazzling synthpop.
"Brightside" is a masterclass in dance-pop, with gigantic earworms and euphoria in spades - it's a carefree anthem full of joy and sleek choruses.
This is latest in a string of one-off tracks, following "Weekend", "Someone Who Can Dance", electroswing belter "Emergency", and "Get Lost". These massive tunes have all landed since the release of Icona Pop's self-titled debut record in 2013.
The band were recently featured on US President Barack Obama's workout mix - check out the full playlist.
