Alphabeat were a Danish pop band from Silkeborg, fronted by singers Stine Bramsen and Anders Stig Gehrt Nielsen.

Following its wide release in Europe in 2008, retitled This is Alphabeat, it reached number ten in the UK and was certified Gold in the region.

[4] As Sodastar, they won the 2004 edition of Danish music contest LiveContest DK, which enabled the creation of a self-titled EP and 16-date promotional tour.

It peaked at number ten on the UK Albums Chart and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry on 10 October 2008.

Two more singles, "X-Mas (Let's Do It Again)" and "Show Me What Love Is" were released from the album before the band went on hiatus to focus on side projects in 2013.

[17] On 18 September 2013, after a series of gigs supporting Express Non-Stop, Alphabeat posted that they were "over and out" on their social media feeds, suggesting the band were taking hiatus.

[18] On 23 September, it was confirmed that lead vocalist Stine Bramsen had signed a recording contract to produce her own solo album.

The band held a 10-date tour of Denmark throughout February 2020, which was followed by an additional three dates in the United Kingdom in April 2020.

[30] A day later, the music video for "I Don't Know What's Cool Anymore" was released, directed by band members Rasmus Nagel and Anders Reinholdt.

[37] On 4 June 2021, the group released "Danmarks Dynamite", the official Danish song for the postponed 2020 UEFA Championship.

[38][39] The track marks the band's first release in Danish and is a collaboration with members of the Denmark national football team.

[42] On 24 September 2021, the group played Fredagsrock, the Friday-night concert event at Copenhagen amusement park Tivoli.

Alongside this, they shared the reasoning behind their second split, explaining that whilst they had "no plans on writing new songs or to go on tour again", they did not rule out a future return.

[47] Following these shows, lead singer Stine Bramsen returned to her solo work, starting with the comeback single "What I Want You to Do" on 24 September 2021.

[48] A year later, in September 2022, Anders SG also began a solo career, releasing the debut single "Noget for nogen".

During the summer of 2008 they played numerous British and international festivals including T in the Park on "Camper's Friday",[52] Roskilde Festival,[53] T4 on the Beach, Summerfestival (in Klaksvík, Faroe Islands, in early August),[54] and in October 2008, along with many other bands at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England for hundreds of young girlguides.

[2] In the same year, the band was planning to play select shows with American singer Katy Perry on her 2008 world tour.

They also played a support slot for Lady Gaga on the UK and Irish leg of her The Monster Ball Tour, which took place in February and March 2010.

In 2011, Bramsen's vocals were featured in the dance hit "I Want You (To Want Me Back)", by Danish duo Morten Hampenberg & Alexander Brown.

Following Alphabeat's hiatus in 2013, Bramsen pursued a solo career and began releasing music under her own name.

[22] A follow-up single, "Can't Let It Go" featuring Danish soul and R&B singer Patrick Dorgan, was released in October 2018.

[70] As of August 2022, Bramsen is featuring in the DR television series Min Sang til Danmark, a programme in which Danish musicians are challenged to write a song celebrating the country.

[24] This was followed on 19 August 2016 with "Livin' My Life", a remix of Jill Scott's "Golden",[75] and on 9 December 2016 with "Your Man", a track featuring the vocals of Australian singer Sam Sparro.

[76] Three more singles followed, "I Can Get" featuring Go Go Berlin singer Christian Vium on 23 June 2017,[77] "Sunshine" on 30 January 2018[78] and "Mind Expansion" on 13 February 2018.
