Sigrid Is About to Top the Indie Charts with Her New Single 'Jellyfish'

Sigrid has always been in on the fun. The Norwegian singer built her own corner of Scandipop with glittery bangers like High Five and Strangers — hooky, euphoric, and just self-aware enough to keep things interesting.

Her first two albums, Sucker Punch and How to Let Go, are filled with big choruses, glossy production, and flashes of emotional clarity. But Sigrid’s never just played it safe.

Her 2017 debut, Don’t Kill My Vibe, was a pop missile aimed squarely at condescending studio guys. She was 19, annoyed, and impossibly catchy — a formula she’s been refining ever since.

Now she’s back with Jellyfish, a giddy, off-kilter track ready to become the summer anthem. It’s full of soft joy and no overthinking.

Written in a sunlit Oslo attic with close friend Askjell, the song came together with no pressure. “We were just humming together and it came out,” she said. “It immediately felt catchy and sweet, and quite vulnerable.” She described the whole thing as “very nice and natural.”

Jellyfish also marks her first official production credit — though Sigrid shrugs it off. “I’ve been co-producing my whole career,” she said. “This time I’m being credited for it. That’s the difference.”

She’s also dropped the need to be “taken seriously” — a weight she carried during her second album.

“I put a lot of pressure on myself to write serious songs,” she said. Now, she’s having fun again. “I’m not trying to sing perfectly. I take the piss out of myself a bit with the new music.”

She’ll debut Jellyfish at Latitude, the same festival she first played in 2017. “I love any festival that has a bit of nature in it,” she said, recalling rowing across a lake to get backstage.
