Background: BOY is a Swiss-German pop duo founded in 2007 by singer Valeska Steiner and bassist Sonja Glass. The two met while at a pop-music course at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg in 2005. The band initially played concerts exclusively, before being discovered and signed to Herbert Grönemeyer's label, Grönland Records, in 2011. Their debut album, Mutual Friends was produced by Philip Steinke and released in the autumn of 2011. The band sings entirely English in a style reminiscent of that of Leslie Feist. BOY won the Hamburg Musician Prize HANS in 2011 in the category Hamburgs Newcomer of the Year, and the EBBA (European Border Breakers Award) in 2012.

Trivia: Little Numbers was their first single and the featured song of the German film “Kein Sex ist auch keine Lösung” (No Sex is no Solution either).

My two cents: Woo-oh, oh-oh, what a great song. Received it this morning, waking up on Easter sunday, listening to it and getting chills all the time. Couldn't do any different than sharing with all of you. I also needed to know more about BOY. There are some great singer-songwriters out there. Also yet another music act founded in Hamburg, there's some vibe to this city, I like it :)
