One of their earliest singles "Illusion" gained attention when it became part of a global campaign the retailer and fashion line H&M. But their breakthrough came in 2018 with their cover of "Dancing in the Moonlight,". The song was originally recorded in 1970 by Boffalongo, led by Kelly Sherman, and popularized by King Harvest. Jubël's version, featuring vocals by Neimy, initially charted in Sweden, Norway, and Belgium. However, a re-release in 2020 propelled the song to greater international success, charting on the UK Singles Chart and peaking at number 11. The track gained further exposure when it was featured in the sixth series of the reality show Love Island in 2020.
While experimenting in the studio with the melody of Toploader's 2000 version, itself a cover of the 1972 original by King Harvest, Jubël sensed its potential and enlisted the help of their friend Neimy for vocals. Despite spending several years shelved, the song garnered attention when an English guy, having heard one of Jubël's other songs, contacted them and expressed interest in listening to their music.
Following their breakthrough, Jubël released additional tracks such as "Teenage Minds" and "On the Beach," featuring their characteristic sound with decadent guitars and floating melodies. In 2019, they released their debut album, "Strawtown," followed by the "Strawtown EP" in 2020. Their music continued to find success, with "Weekend Vibes" becoming another radio hit and gaining popularity on TikTok with over 150 million video views. The duo also performed at Stockholm's Lollapalooza music festival, showcasing their talents to a wider audience.
Jubël's success extended beyond their initial breakthrough, collaborating with Israeli artist Noa Kirel and Danish international superstar Christopher in 2022. They later released "Tripel A," a collaboration with American rap star NLE Choppa.
