Ace of Base

The Profile

Ace of Base is a Swedish pop group formed in Gothenburg in 1990. Core members include Jonas Berggren, Ulf Ekberg, Linn Berggren and Jenny Berggren. They achieved international success in the early 1990s with hits such as "All That She Wants" and the album Happy Nation.

Their debut era single "All That She Wants" propelled the album Happy Nation to global success (about 20 million copies according to contemporary accounts). The Bridge (1995) is cited in reviews as selling around seven million copies. Ulf Ekberg previously played in an earlier band and later publicly disavowed a past with racist themes (as discussed in contemporary coverage).

Two DeBaser reviews praise Ace of Base's catchy, melancholic 90s pop. Critics highlight the massive impact of "All That She Wants" and the strengths of The Bridge and Flowers. The Bridge is described as their best work by one reviewer.
