Pet Shop Boys are known for their infectious synth-pop hits, but A New Bohemia offers something refreshingly different. This latest track has a more laid-back, ballad-like feel, drawing comparisons to The Beatles with its lush orchestration.
Neil Tennant’s vocals, known to dominate charts in the ’80s, carry this track to an ethereal level with help from sweeping strings and echoey drums. Pet Shop Boys have always been skilled at crafting heartfelt ballads, and this one hits all the right notes. A New Bohemia is an epic, melodic anthem that feels like a breath of fresh air from the duo.
