Charli XCX and Carly Rae Jepsen Feature On BC Unidos' 'Bicycle' EP
The new Swedish duo enlist two of pop's biggest queens for their debut...
BC Unidos need your attention - and they deserve it.
The new duo have released their debut EP Bicycle with the help of pop's brightest stars, including Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen and Santigold.
While BC Unidos is a new entity, Markus Krunegård and Patrik Berger are two of Sweden's most established pop acts, with Patrik having co-writes on monster hits including Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own' and Charli's own hit 'Boom Clap'.
Their first release as a duo is the 5-track Bicycle EP and it's a brashy combination of pop-rock, killer synths and more unconventional pop tricks, like the sci-fi soundbites pelted around their own sonic universe.
The Charli XCX-assisted 'I'm a Dream' is an manic '80s-pop rush of dreamy guitars and synths, so the name makes perfect sense, while she gives an understated and nonchalant vocal performance.
'Trouble in the Streets' is a more melodic - and a touch psychedellic - slice of futuristic pop, with Carly Rae Jepsen's angelic voice and effortless style completing the '80s vibe perfectly.
The groovy title track, which features Shungudzo, was released as the lead single from the project back in summer but the accompanying visual has now dropped, showing the cool-AF singer hanging with a bike crew in Oakland, California.
We don't know about you but we think we've found our new obsession.
BC Unidos, we want more!

Boys, boys
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys (XCX)
Head is spinnin' thinkin' 'bout boys
I need that bad boy to do me right on a Friday
And I need that good one to wake me up on a Sunday
That one from work can come over on Monday night
I want 'em all
I want 'em all
And when they finally leave me I'm all alone, but
I'm lookin' down and my girls are blowin' my phone up
Them twenty questions, they askin' me where I'm at
Didn't hit 'em back
I'm sorry that I missed your party
I wish I had a better excuse like
"I had to trash the hotel lobby"
But I was busy thinkin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
Head is spinnin' thinkin' 'bout boys
In every city I got one with different ringtones
Flyin' from LA all the way to Puerto Rico
My girls are calling me asking me where I'm at
Didn't hit 'em back
I'm sorry that I missed your party
I wish I had a better excuse, like
But I can't even lie, you got me
I was busy thinkin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
Head is spinnin' thinkin' 'bout boys
Don't be mad, don't be mad at me (No, no, no, no)
Darling, I can't stop it even if I wanted
Don't be mad, don't be mad at me (No, no, no, no)
Missed what you was sayin', I was miles away, yeah
Don't be mad, don't be mad, not like I had a choice
I was busy thinkin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy thinkin' 'bout boys (Boys)
Boys (Boys), boys
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys (Boys)
Boys (Oh, baby), boys (Yeah)
Head is spinnin' thinkin' 'bout boys
