Crossover dance-pop duo
Seeb have teamed up with the instantly appealing vocal gift of
BANNERS and in-demand producers
SUPER-Hi for the brand new single
‘Submarine’. The three artists share a combined audience of
20 million monthly listeners at
Spotify alone, each achieving their own global landmark moment with a smash hit remix of
Mike Posner’s ‘I Took A Pill in Ibiza’ (
Seeb), the viral sensation
‘Someone Like You’ (
BANNERS), and the immensely popular
‘Following The Sun’ (
SUPER-Hi).
With ‘Submarine’, the three artists have created a vivid story of a personal first summer of love – but of course, not all love lasts forever. BANNERS’ vocal class depicts snapshots of a fleeting but affecting relationship, while Seeb and SUPER-Hi’s production builds from laidback live instrumentation into a richer sonic tapestry of synths and beats, which looks to the past to create an engaging pop moment for the summer of 2023.
Seeb commented, “‘Submarine’ is a nostalgic and heart-wrenching song about a love that never quite had a chance to fully bloom. The lyrics tell the story of a past love that’s hard to forget, no matter how much time passes. This song is for anyone who’s ever had a love that got away.”
We are very excited to join forces with SUPER-Hi and BANNERS on this record. BANNERS’ style of vocals really fits the vibe we were hoping for on this song and to have him onboard is a great pleasure and honour. Also we have been fans of SUPER-Hi since their fantastic record ‘Following The Sun’ so to be able to collaborate on a production like this is a big thrill for us.”
Seeb, BANNERS and SUPER-Hi have created a moment bigger than the sum of their parts, but each artist has achieved phenomenal success with their varied projects:
Consisting of Simen Eriksud and Espen Berg, Norwegian duo Seeb are one of dance music’s highest profile success stories. The combination of their work with leading artists Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay and Mike Posner and their own projects such as their debut album ‘Sad In Scandinavia’ has led to more than 4 billion streams to date on Spotify alone.
Since emerging in 2015, BANNERS’ stunning voice and exquisite songcraft delivers music which is both timeless and immensely personal. BANNERS’ biggest moment so far is ‘Someone Like You’, but similar qualities are rich throughout the rest of his work, including his recent EP ‘I Wish I Was Flawless, I’m Not’, with his releases so far exceeding 1.5 billion streams.
British duo SUPER-Hi made their name as producers and songwriters for a succession of big names including Louis Tomlinson, James Arthur and Sam Ryder, but the international success of ‘Following The Sun’ showed that their magic touch extended to their own material too. That track remained in the spotlight with a succession of remixes, and they followed up with last year’s ‘Told You So’.
