Enter Shikari, in collaboration with Fever 333‘s dynamic vocalist Jason Butler, has unleashed their electrifying new single, “Losing My Grip.” This latest release not only introduces Enter Shikari’s first new material in 2024 but also follows the monumental success of their first-ever UK #1 album, A Kiss for the Whole World. Fresh off their extensive touring through Europe and Australia in 2023, Enter Shikari is set to embark on their most ambitious UK headline tour to date.
The collaboration with Jason Butler in “Losing My Grip” exemplifies Enter Shikari’s commitment to exploring and merging diverse musical realms. The track, pulsating with both bands’ characteristic energy, delves into a reflective and intense narrative, confronting the chaotic state of the world. Over the past year, Enter Shikari has demonstrated their collaborative prowess, having worked with artists including AViVA, Cody Frost, WARGASM, and You Me At Six.
Rou Reynolds, Enter Shikari’s lead vocalist and producer, shared insights into the creation of “Losing My Grip”: “We’ve had a long-standing camaraderie with Jason and have toured extensively together. We always felt that a collaboration would happen when the right moment came, and this track was the perfect fit. It demanded a certain level of intensity and thoughtfulness, which Jason delivers with natural ease. We’re thrilled to be bringing Fever 333 along for our UK and Europe tour. It’s been a while since we’ve shared the stage, and we can’t wait to reconnect.”
“Losing My Grip” oscillates between two of the band’s key musical influences: drum and bass and hardcore punk. Lyrically, it delves into the formidable power humanity holds, reflecting on the existential weight and responsibility that come with it. The song is an introspective journey, exploring the struggle to maintain sanity amidst a system fraught with flaws and dangers.
Jason Butler of Fever 333 added his perspective: “I’ve always admired Enter Shikari, not just as a band but as individuals. Their unique approach and integrity in everything they do have always resonated with me. Collaborating with them was an honor, and I’m excited to hit the road together for the upcoming tour. WE ARE GODS.”
Enter Shikari’s upcoming world tour across the UK and Europe is set to be groundbreaking, with a portion of ticket sales being donated to the Music Venue Trust in support of grassroots venues. The tour promises to be a thrilling showcase of the band’s evolving sound and their continued dedication to making a positive impact in the music industry.
