Young Folks
Peter Bjorn and John ft Victoria Bergsman

Wichita

WE SAY

First released last August, when it got to number 35 on the UK singles chart, Peter Bjorn and John's prefect pop tune is now due for a welcome re-release. The song was a viral phenomenon last time around, getting over 2m plays on MySpace and 3m hits on YouTube. It has since been featured in many adverts and TV placements around the world, becoming a ubiquitous feelgood anthem in the process. A great remix package lands this time around with versions from Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve (Erol Alkan), Phones (Paul Epworth) and Diplo. As infectious as music gets, it has just been added to the R1 playlist. Watch the video here. JF London gig: August 26 Get Loaded In The Park, Clapham Common SW4
