Lynks (formerly Lynks Afrikka, which is one of the best monikers we’ve ever seen, honestly) is back with a certified slapper with ‘New Boyfriend’ and that heralds a new tour for 2024 too!

Talking to the NME, they said: “peaking about the track, Lynks said: “”Look, ultimately I think I’m a fairly smart, reasonable, logical young person. I’ve done therapy. I give excellent dating advice. I know that a healthy breakup is a clean breakup. No footnotes, no P.S., no post-credits sequence shags. And yet the second I’m in the throes of a breakup, all that logic and intelligence evaporates.”

“And I become what I clearly always was; a dog, cosplaying as a well adjusted human man. Unable to resist the stick when someone says ‘FETCH’. I’m not proud of it. But I also don’t think I’m alone. That’s what this song is about – lovely, kind, thoughtful, intelligent, well-adjusted couples turning into chaotic horny monsters the second they break up.”

Dancing with backing dancers (called The Lynks Shower Gel – again, brilliant), check out the video below, which is every bit as fun as you could hope it to be!
