New Music: Alphabeat - Vacation
Fabolous Danish pop band Alphabeat have just premiered their new single "Vacation" online! The very-80's track serves as the first official offering from Alphabeat's upcoming yet-untitled third album, due out later in 2012. If you're not that familiar with this group, let's do a quick recap. Alphabeat got on scene in 2007 with their self-titled debut album. The first two singles "Fascination" and "10.000 Nights of Thunder" were not only huge hits in Denmark, and adjacent European countries, but also in a very competitive market like the UK. That's where Alphabeat's 'international knowledge' comes from. Alphabeat's album #2 'The Spell' did not achieve the same sucess, but perform decently. So they're nos looking to make things right again in the follow-up album. The first single "Vacation" may not be the best Alphabeat song ever, IMO, but it's so bubbly, light-hearted, summery and with 80's vibes, I might end up completely loving it. It's a grower!
