'High Five' is the third in a collection of brand new material from BBC Sound of 2018 winner and the most exceptional breakout star of the year, Sigrid. The colossal pop song 'High Five' is about “the importance of those relations where you both dare to be completely honest with each other, rather than exchanging superficial 'high fives'” says the 21-year-old pop sensation. The anthemic track follows the beautifully poignant 'I Don't Want To Know' and the unadulterated 'Raw', a collection of songs that will culminate in an EP. Last week Sigrid sold-out her Somerset House headline on 11 July within hours, the first to sell out in the Summer Series, which includes Jorja Smith, De La Soul and MGMT. Sigrid begins festival season with a much-anticipated Coachella performance this weekend.
