Alphaville, known for their timeless hits like “Forever Young” and “Big in Japan,” has always embraced innovation while staying true to their roots. This new EP marks a significant return to the studio for the band, following their successful tour last year, which celebrated the 40th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album, “Forever Young.” The Christmas EP is set to feature a mix of original compositions and classic holiday favorites, reimagined through Alphaville’s distinctive electronic lens.
