Alphabeat - Boyfriend

The Danish band has already made a rather significant splash in their home country as well as in some of Europe and the UK. After "Fascination" and "Ten Thousand Nights" comes "Boyfriend." It's Electronic/Rock/Pop at its best. The lyrics are just so sugary sweet, as are the vocals of the lead singer. Just as their previous singles have been remixed, this one has been treated in the same fashion. The single is scheduled to be released in August. One remix that is currently being buzzed about on the internet is one done by Pete Hammond, who was responsible for a significant chunk of the Stock Aitken Waterman productions during the 80's and 90's. The mix is done with the same equipment that was used for all the SAW stuff. From the clips, the mix is very faithful to the classic SAW sound and works very well with the song. There's no confirmation on whether this mix will be released, however, it would be a crime against music if this mix were not released. A preview of it can be heard on this page.
