Boy In Space releases cover of Alphaville’s 1984 anti-war anthem “Forever Young”

Boy In Space (aka Robin Lundbäck) has released a poignant reimagining of Alphaville’s 1984 anti-war anthem “Forever Young”.

“This is one of my favorite songs of all time,” Boy In Space explains “It was written in such a crazy time for the world as a way to remind people to live in the moment and live life to the fullest. They were dealing with the threat of nuclear bombs, today we are all dealing with a global pandemic. The song has a message that is timeless for all generations and I’m proud to join the ever-growing list of talented artists who have covered it.”

Inspired by current events and propelled by Robin’s signature falsetto vocals, his stunning rework of the nostalgic track landed on New Music Friday playlists.

With just a handful of singles released thus far, Boy In Space has amassed nearly 60 million streams on Spotify alone, and has surpassed 2.1 million monthly listeners. 

“Forever Young” follows previous singles, “Caroline”, “u n eye”,   On A Prayer featuring SHY MARTIN, 7UP,  Cold, and Drown,  which have all received support from Radio One including Adele Roberts (Best New Pop) and Scott Mills and had syncs on Love Island. 

Boy in Space has quickly become one of the biggest breakout artists of the past year.
