Phlake
Artist
The R&B/pop-duo Phlake was unfamiliar to most of their native Denmark before they performed on the Rising-stage at Roskilde Festival in the summer of 2016. Since then, the two guys from Albertslund near Copenhagen–singer and songwriter Mads Bo, and producer Jonathan Elkær–have taken Denmark by storm.
With their second and third single, “Pregnant” and “Angel Zoo”, which respectively reached #9 and #3 on the Danish charts, the duo gained their first attention from the Danish radio stations.
In 2016, their debut studio album Slush Hours was released. The album got great success within Danish borders, but countries overseas started noticing them, leading to a Europe tour in Fall 2017, the same time as their second studio album, Weird Invitations, dropped.
After several singles with a mysterious partner was released between 2018 and 2020, the duo’s third album T.I.D.O.Y.S. dropped in March 2020. The partner, Mercedes the Virus was later revealed to be the alter-ego of Mads Bo, created by vocal manipulation.
