After an eight-year hiatus spent on groundbreaking projects with Swedish House Mafia—earning 2XGrammy Awards nominations—and collaborations with Steve Angello and Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso returns with his new solo single, ‘Flood’.
Released via imprint Superhuman, this anthemic dance track marks a significant return for Ingrosso and sets the stage for more exciting releases to come.
Merging future garage and bass house, ‘Flood’ (Out 18th Oct) is tight and skippy, but is epic in its proportions beneath the surface. It breaks apart into an expansive, emotionally charged cinematic moment, where floating ethereal vocals meet arpeggiating angelic, harp-like strings, accelerating towards a huge drop.
This is just the second release on Superhuman, following February’s much-anticipated Groove Armada-sampling single, ‘Skip’. The label is a platform for the SHM-affiliated producer to showcase a deeper side to his sonic repertoire, delivering more club-focused leftfield sounds away from the bright lights of Swedish House Mafia.
This is Sebastian Ingrosso’s first solo release in eight years. In that time, he’s been busy dominating dance music, working alongside exciting new producers like Salvatore Ganacci, Buy Now and YARO. He released the bouncing bass house hit ‘U Ok?’ (5M+ streams) in 2023 with PARISI and Steve Angello. His earlier hits, including the 2012 collaboration with Tommy Trash, ‘Reload,’ and the smash single ‘Calling (Lose My Mind)’ with Alesso, have also amassed hundreds of millions of streams.
After Seb co-founded Swedish House Mafia with Axwell and Steve Angello in 2008, the trio rose to global fame with their 2010 hit ‘One (Your Name)’ and iconic tracks like the Grammy-nominated ‘Save the World’ and quintuple-platinum ‘Don’t You Worry Child’. Their groundbreaking performances, including headlining Coachella 2022 and selling out Madison Square Garden in 2011, cemented their legendary status. In 2022, they released their debut album ‘Paradise Again’, which debuted in the Top 10 across seven countries and topped the Billboard Dance chart. They also teamed up with The Weeknd on ‘Moth to a Flame’ and contributed to his critically acclaimed ‘Dawn FM’ album.
Beyond his group efforts, it’s thrilling to see Sebastian Ingrosso back behind the wheel on ‘Flood’. This single and the Superhuman label mark a new chapter in the solo career of this unequivocal dance icon.
