Steam Phunk and Idun Nicoline – “Hell & High Water”

“Bring hell and higher water, I’m gonna leave no matter what you say. ‘Cause you said you wouldn’t call her but you went ahead and did it anyway. Not gonna change my mind, we’ve run out of time. Oh, this is goodbye, not gonna change my mind.” – lyrics

‘Hell & High Water’ tells a heartfelt tale about a woman who decides to leave her significant other high and dry. Apparently, their once budding relationship has turned toxic and there’s no going back to what they used to be. Later, she tells her partner the reason why she’s leaving, “Our conversations turn to fighting ‘cause all you ever think about is her.”

‘Hell & Water’ contains a breakup narrative, catchy vocals, and danceable drops that will resonate well with fans of Jonas Blue, Gryffin, and Nora Van Elken. The dance floor-friendly tune possesses thudding drum-laden instrumentation flavored with EDM, deep house, and electro-dance elements. Furthermore, “Hell & Water” invites listeners to dance at a beach party or simply relax by a pool.

“I’m gonna leave no matter what you say.”

‘Hell & High Water’ is about being so done with someone that it doesn’t matter what they say or do to make amends – hence the lyrics bring ‘Hell & High Water.’ We think a lot of people have a hard time getting out of toxic relationships. That’s why we wanted to write an anthem that people can sing along with when they decide to stop putting up with people’s bad behavior.” – Steam Phunk explained

Steam Phunk’s sound is based on melodic beats crossed with deep house elements. In childhood, the two brothers discovered that instruments produce more than just melodies, but also offer the possibility to write songs and tell stories. Since then, they have been making music together. So far, they have performed on the main stage at Freshtival, collaborated with various artists around the world, and heard on radio stations and official Spotify playlists in several countries. Also, Steam Phunk has received support from R3HAB, Tiesto, and Oliver Heldens.
