Other Voices Records are proud to present Tobias Bernstrup's new album 'Sing My Body Electric'.

Tobias Bernstrup who works both as a visual artist and musician has been active for more than a decade and positioned him self as one of the leading re-inventors of Italo Disco with his unique mix of Italo, New Wave and Gothic Noir. He has created his own unmistakable stage persona wearing androgynous outfits of shiny latex and heavy make-up.

The new album contains 11 smashing tracks, and some exciting guest vocal appearances. Among these Videodrome featuring vocals by Pascal Languirand of the legendary Trans-X. Other guests vocalists are Paola, Saralunden and finally; the Jan Hammer-like ballad 'No Time To Die' where Bernstrup sings a duet with Miss Liz of 'Xeno & Oaklander'.

Chain DLK:

SING MY BODY ELECTRIC is the newest Tobias Bernstrup album and it's his fourth album to date. Released on tape by the Russian label Other Voices, SING MY BODY ELECTRIC will be soon issued also on CD and white vinyl without two tracks: "Light Years Apart" and "A.S.F.R.". The first one has already been released as well as "1984", "Enemies Of The Earth" and "Data Love" on the "1984" EP by Enfant Terrible in 2009. The album opens with a short introduction "Departure" and shows its value already with the second track "Dancing In The Shuttle", a vibrant electro pop song with a dancey flavor but with a bit of melancholy. "Can Play" follows the same path and it is able to please synthpop and italo disco lovers. The latter will be happy when they'll listen to the opening part of "Body Electric" as a synth arpeggio, synth stabs and a nice piano build the atmosphere of a sensual song. "Videodrome" is the first up tempo song of the album and it's there to be danced to along with the following "1984". "Light Years Apart" mix hard beats, synth arpeggios and synth melodies while Tobias sing: "We've reached the point of no return, your signal is weaker, your gravity's gone, I drift out of orbit, into the dark, away from you, tonight". "A.S.F.R." is another romantic mid tempo with dancey attitude which pairs with the following "Ugly Alone". "Roll The Camera" starts with a beat that is good to be danced by 80s b-boys but it grows into a great synthpop tune with cool melodies. "Data Love" is a classic italo influenced song with retro simmons pads taking care of the rhythm. "Enemies Of The Earth" is a mid tempo with light synth pads and bass line arpeggios where Tobias deep vocals take the deserved attention. The album closes with "No Time To Die", a melancholic mid tempo where he duets with Miss Liz Wendelbo. This new album, in my opinion, is a huge step ahead for him because it's still has a dance attitude but the songwriting is strong and catchy.
