If you haven’t heard of Mads Langer, don’t feel too bad, but ready yourselves because you’re in for a definite treat.

The 28 year old singer-songwriter from Denmark found international success after he released a cover of Olive’s You’re Not Alone.

Considered a massive retro dance track from the 90’s, this isn’t the first time the song’s been remixed or remade.

Langer decided to take the song back to its barest form though, somehow transforming this massive club banger into a serenely sweet tale of affection and honesty.

To be honest, you wouldn’t even believe it’s the same song on first play – after hearing it for three weeks consecutively whilst on our summer travels it was only on the last day that realisation finally dawned.

His version of You’re Not Alone was first released in December 2009, solely in Europe.

After being charted highly in countries like Italy and Denmark, it was also included on his first international album, Behold, released 18 months later.
