Boyology is the new album by the singer Asbjørn.
Continuing his niche for creating feel-good rhythms, the artist takes us through for an introspective journey for his latest release, intertwining elements of pop finesse and R&B. From the summer-ready “STB X Boyfriend” to the emotionally-charged “Teen Heart, the artist touches on it all for his release and covers all ground.
Speaking on the release, the artist said, “I wrote the first demo of “STB x Boyfriend” with Danny L Harle in London in 2017. Being a huge fan of Danny’s work with Charli XCX, SOPHIE, Clairo and in his own right, I was terrified going into the session. I learned quickly that he was as big of a pop-geek as I was, and we bonded over *NSYNC, Britney Spears and Destiny’s Child. He works so fast and energetically and we finished the first demo within 2 hours. It was sonically very different from the rest of the material I had produced for the album, and the demo layed around for more than a year. By the end of 2018, I was living in Los Angeles for a little while, wrapping up the album in a cute house in Echo Park, where roosters woke me up every morning at 4 AM. I was falling for a guy who lived there, and one night I dreamt of him. In the dream our love affair was soundtracked by “STB x Boyfriend”, but in this around-the-bonfire sing-a-long version. When the roosters woke me up, I grabbed a guitar and sat down on the front porch to rewrite the lyrics. The song found a different nerve and rawness with the rusty guitar, that somehow fit the rather naive chorus, about a relationship that was bound to end before it even began.”
