Those colourful Danish wags, Alphabeat, are back with yet another piece of pop brilliance.

Of the many versions that are available, there’s a remix that places Boyfriend straight back into the 80’s.

Alphabeat aren’t one of those bands you listen to looking if you’re…say looking for the meaning of life. Or anything deep like that. What you’re more likely to get is pure bubblegum pop, and Boyfriend hits the spot on so many levels.

Far better than 10,000 Nights, this latest single provides hints that Alphabeat are an unstoppable pop machine. Here’s a song that’s purely dedicated to warning other women off her man – in the nicest possible way!

Of course, with our normal cynical attitude to the record buying public, we wonder how well Alphabeat’s upbeat pop patter will last when the second album comes around.

Until that time, check out the superior Pete Hammond remix version.

Boyfriend is the third single from their debut album, This Is Alphabeat.
