Fans of Swedish House Mafia have long awaited the return of new music from the iconic EDM group. In a recent exclusive interview with Billboard, Steve Angello, one of the founding members, shared exciting news about the group’s upcoming album.
The conversation offered a deep dive into Angello’s reflections on their past successes, the evolution of EDM, and what listeners can expect from the Swedish House Mafia album.
The Evolution of EDM
Discussing how EDM has evolved, Angello recounted the genre’s rise from underground clubs to mainstream recognition. “When we started, electronic music was for niche audiences,” he said, reminiscing about the early days when DJs played to small, dedicated crowds. The past decade, however, has transformed EDM into a global phenomenon, with massive festivals and sold-out arena shows showcasing the genre’s growth. Angello credited this evolution to the relentless innovation of EDM artists pushing creative boundaries and integrating new technologies.
As one-third of Swedish House Mafia, Angello has been pivotal in shaping this movement. Tracks like “Don’t You Worry Child” catapulted EDM into the global spotlight, setting the standard for mainstream electronic hits. Now, with a new Swedish House Mafia album in the works, Angello emphasized that the trio’s approach continues to embrace both nostalgia and future-focused soundscapes.
Reflections on Past Successes
Reflecting on their career-defining track “Don’t You Worry Child,” Angello spoke warmly about its impact. The song, featuring John Martin’s powerful vocals, became an anthem for hope and resilience. It not only topped international charts but also resonated deeply with fans for its uplifting message. Angello remarked, “The success of that song was a team effort. It was the product of synergy between me, Axwell, and Sebastian Ingrosso.”
The song solidified Swedish House Mafia as a household name in EDM and mainstream music alike, inspiring countless artists and fans. “We didn’t anticipate how much it would resonate worldwide,” Angello added. Despite its success, he remains grounded, expressing gratitude for the song’s lasting legacy and the opportunities it provided him and his bandmates.
Looking Forward: The Upcoming Album
As anticipation builds for the upcoming Swedish House Mafia album, Angello hinted at what fans can expect. Although he didn’t disclose specific details about the tracklist or collaborations, he shared that the group’s renewed creativity and passion have fueled this project. “We’re pushing boundaries again,” Angello said, suggesting that the new album will incorporate fresh elements while staying true to the sound that made them famous.
Angello’s recent solo work, including the single “Hooligans,” showcases his continued commitment to innovation. This spirit is reflected in the group’s approach to their next project. “It’s not just about making hits; it’s about creating an experience,” Angello noted, hinting that the new album will provide fans with both familiar and surprising moments.
The Impact of Swedish House Mafia
Swedish House Mafia’s influence in EDM is undeniable. Since their inception, the group has helped shape the genre’s trajectory by blending electronic sounds with mainstream appeal. Their performances, characterized by jaw-dropping visuals and seamless DJ sets, set a new standard for live shows. Angello believes that the new album will continue this legacy, solidifying their status as pioneers in the industry.
“This album is about more than just music; it’s about where we’ve been and where we’re going,” Angello concluded, leaving fans with high expectations. The new Swedish House Mafia album promises to be a landmark release, blending the trio’s history of chart-topping hits with new explorations in sound.
