VÆB Step Into Their Moment With ‘Gimme More’ and the Expansive World of VÆBOUT

Icelandic pop duo VÆB sharpen their global ambitions with the release of “Gimme More,” arriving alongside their debut album VÆBOUT. The project marks a defining step in the brothers’ evolution from viral breakout to one of the most compelling emerging names in contemporary pop.

Their rise began in earnest with 2025’s “RÓA,” which dominated Iceland’s Söngvakeppnin and went on to make a strong impression at the Eurovision Song Contest.

The track’s streaming success and sustained international traction laid the groundwork for VÆB’s expanding audience, further amplified by a sold-out run of UK and European shows.

On “Gimme More,” VÆB distill their defining qualities into a tightly executed pop statement.

What began as a playful nod to early-2000s boyband tropes is reimagined into a sleek, electro-swing-infused track, driven by kinetic production and a self-aware sense of fun. The duo’s balance of melodic immediacy and offbeat charm remains central, giving the single a distinct identity within an increasingly saturated pop landscape.

VÆBOUT builds on the momentum of earlier releases, including “Þetta reddast” and “GAMERBOI,” while reinforcing the duo’s ability to merge polished pop sensibilities with a broader digital and visual aesthetic. That crossover appeal extends beyond music, with recent collaborations tied to Honkai: Star Rail highlighting their reach into gaming and online culture.

Concise yet confident, VÆBOUT positions VÆB as a forward-thinking act with clear international potential. With “Gimme More” leading the charge, the duo deliver a debut that is both commercially attuned and creatively distinctive, signalling a trajectory that continues to build well beyond their initial breakthrough.
