ABBA's Angeleyes reframed as a domestic feature: hypnotized by someone who wears a disguise; Lou Roy on the vocal.

Standalone cover of ABBA’s “Angeleyes” (1979, Andersson/Ulvaeus) with Lou Roy on the feature vocal: August 12, 2022 per streaming metadata. @beformer announced official Spotify All New Indie placement the same day, then Ultimate Indie August 22, 2022, and Dinner with Friends August 29, 2022. A Spotify for Artists email on May 5, 2023 (1:16 p.m.) added it to Café Croissant (208,842 followers). Roy also sings background vocals on six tracks of I (see with hub and album notes).

Scoobert’s version keeps the original’s river-walk betrayal setup, look into his angeleyes, you’ll think you’re in paradise, but routes it through bedroom-pop production rather than disco glitter. The lowercase title matches other casual Scoobert single slugs from the period.

Distro: Beformer. No lyrics published here (cover).
