Listen to ‘Grip’ here:
Starting with their truly game-changing remix of Mike Posner’s ‘I Took A Pill In Ibiza’ through to their work with the likes of Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Tove Lo, One Direction and Dagny, chances are that you’ve heard the music of Seeb or at least their influence – even if you may not know who they are.
Simen Eriksrud and musical partner Espen Berg formed Seeb through their love of defying genre and chasing the most fresh and original sounds. They scored a Hype Machine No.1 with their remix of Kiesza’s ‘Cut Me Loose’, before extending their unique technique of vocal chopping on their globe-conquering take on Mike Posner’s ‘I Took A Pill In Ibiza’. It hit No. 2 on the Global Spotify Chart, No. 4 on Billboard Hot 100, became a world radio and dancefloor smash, soon becoming the second most played song globally in 2016.
Before long, they gave their spin on Shawn Mendes’ ‘Stitches’, Chris Martin invited them to remix Coldplay’s ‘Hymn For The Weekend’, they gave a new sense of colour to Taylor Swift’s ‘Delicate’, OneRepublic asked them to collaborate on ‘Rich Love’ and their adventurous and runaway original tracks with the likes of Skylar Grey and Dagny had them amassing over 4billion streams in just two years.
Now, they’ve teamed up with Bastille on their epic new single ‘Grip’ – a track that carries their signature blend of melancholy and euphoria, of dance music with a human sensibility.

LYRICS
As the night time bleeds into the day
Tomorrow spills across the sky
And the sun’s a harsh reminder why
We are feeling barely human
We don’t know what’s good for us
Cos if we did we might not do it
Who knows where our limits lie
We won’t discover til we push it
I should just walk away walk away
But it grips me it grips me
But I should call it a day and make my way oh it grips me
Cos the devil’s got my arms and it pulls me back into the night/noise
But I should just walk away away oh it grips me
Cos the devil’s got my arms
Cos the devil’s got my arms
And it pulls me back into the night/noise
We got drunk on this unholy wine
To deliver us from our own minds
The promise of a better time
Till we’re feeling barely human
I would rather forget and wash my memory clean x4
