Alphabeat

From the Source

Alphabeat's 'Hole In My Heart' is the second cut from their 2010 sophomore album, The Beat Is.... It's a '90s-esque floor-filler of the kind that these retro-loving Danes are the undisputed masters. This jam-packed edition boasts not only the track's uber-catchy radio edit, but also the warped Chew Fu Refix, and the trance-tinged Wideboys Remix.

While 'Hole In My Heart' is typical of the super-infectious tunes that are Alphabeat's speciality, it also leans more towards '90s-influences than their earlier '80s-laced offerings. It's a move that characterises most of their second album, The Beat Is....

Here's the band's lead singer, Anders SG's take on the track's new vibe: "'Hole In My Heart' is actually one of the first songs that we finished. It's very influenced by '90s dance music and the piano-driven dance music back then, and all that 'bit housey, bit souly' pop music around at that time. It's just a basic love song like all of our other songs. When we do love songs we use big words and something that makes it sound cool. It's just that the more dramatic it sounds the more cool it is.'
