A Surprise Release
Sebastian Schub caught fans off guard this week when he took to Instagram to announce, “I’m putting out my song ‘Be Still’ this Friday.” Back in his London flat after wrapping an energetic European run, the singer-songwriter shared snapshots of vibrant blooms and a broad grin as he decompresses at home. “Thanks for the flowers – back home in London since yesterday, decompressing, getting my heartbeat back down to normal, still grinning from ear to ear,” he explained, teasing a fresh track to tide listeners over before his U.S. tour kicks off in two weeks.
Linked To ‘sing Like Madonna’
Ironically, “Be Still” predates Sebastian’s breakout single “Sing Like Madonna.” The artist revealed he penned the new song just before writing that hit track, which anchored his Sing Like Madonna EP released on June 6. “I always thought of those songs as linked—a pair in a way,” he wrote, adding, “It’s been a joy playing it on tour. Thrilled that it’s yours so soon.” Fans can expect to hear echoes of his signature acoustic-pop style, paired with an introspective edge.
From Bars To Broad Tours
Just a year ago, Sebastian was performing cover songs in half-empty London hotel bars. In one of his early posts he admitted, “I was literally playing cover songs in half empty hotel bars a year ago.” Fast forward to today, he’s selling out venues across Europe and counting down to a headline slot at Hoxton Hall in his hometown. “Stupid boy on his first tour – SOLD OUT London show tonight at Hoxton Hall. Bring it on,” he posted ahead of the EP launch.
Tour Highlights And Fan Moments
Sebastian’s first-ever tour kicked off with a UK & Ireland leg—he celebrated wrapping “tour disposables – UK & Ireland done” before heading to Cologne. The German stretch proved memorable: he playfully noted adjusting to local stage banter (“If you see my grandma be nice”), rallied crowds in Berlin, and savored “hometown glory” moments back in Hamburg. He also gave special shout-outs to fellow musician Roebyrne—whom he met busking on Dublin’s Grafton Street—who supported him across all four German dates. The journey culminated in Amsterdam, where fans and flowers met him for an emotional finale. Paris remained another standout, marking his debut in France and fueling excitement for the EP’s June 6 release.
Us Dates On The Horizon
While he’s savoring a London homecoming, Sebastian is already eyeing America. In two weeks, a string of U.S. shows from New York to Los Angeles will bring his music to stateside fans for the first time. With an ever-expanding setlist that blends new originals with fan favorites, the transatlantic leg promises to deepen the personal connection he’s built online and onstage.
Deep Dive Into ‘be Still’
Although full lyrics remain under wraps, early previews hint at a reflective theme—balancing measured verses with an uplifting refrain. Acoustic guitar riffs provide a calming backdrop, while subtle production layers suggest Schub’s evolving sonic palette. Paired with the celebratory energy of “Sing Like Madonna,” the new single appears designed to guide listeners through moments of both release and repose.
Early Success And Streaming
Since the Sing Like Madonna EP landed in early June, Sebastian’s streaming numbers have climbed steadily—surpassing two million total plays across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Critics have praised his honest lyricism and catchy hooks, earning him spots on key playlists like Spotify’s New Music Friday and Apple Music’s Breaking Pop.
Behind The Scenes
In selfies from his home studio, Sebastian has already teased recording sessions for a forthcoming full-length album. Fans glimpsed him arranging choral harmonies, experimenting with vintage synthesizers, and fine-tuning guitar layers—suggesting that “Be Still” is just the opening chapter of a larger creative evolution.
Fan Response And Artwork
Alongside his song announcement, Sebastian unveiled the cover art for “Be Still”: a minimalist floral motif set against a soft watercolor wash. Fans flooded the comments with heart emojis and praised the design’s understated charm. The caption, “Thanks for the flowers,” doubled as a nod to both real bouquets sent by admirers and the track’s botanical-themed sleeve.
As “Be Still” prepares to hit streaming platforms at midnight BST this Friday, fans can pre-save it now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major services. Sebastian’s Instagram will continue to offer behind-the-scenes glimpses—from rehearsal clips to city snapshots—as the launch unfolds.
Keep an eye out for the official music video due later this summer; in the meantime, Sebastian’s blend of candid storytelling and melodic songwriting remains at the heart of his growing fanbase. Much love from Seb, and remember: Be still—your next favorite song arrives very soon.
