Standalone cover of **ABBA**’s **“Angeleyes”** (1979, Andersson/Ulvaeus) with [**Lou Roy**](/with/lou-roy/) on the feature vocal: **August 12, 2022** per streaming metadata. [@beformer announced official Spotify All New Indie placement](https://www.instagram.com/p/ChK7dGXP2L8/) the same day, then [Ultimate Indie](https://www.instagram.com/p/Chk5SZiv_JH/) **August 22, 2022**, and [Dinner with Friends](https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch20Lxav5Yk/) **August 29, 2022**. Same collaborator thread as [*I*](/albums/i/), Roy sings background vocals on six LP tracks (see [with hub](/with/lou-roy/) and [album notes](/albums/i/)).

Scoobert’s version keeps the original’s river-walk betrayal setup — *look into his angeleyes, you'll think you're in paradise*: but routes it through bedroom-pop production rather than disco glitter. The lowercase title matches other casual Scoobert single slugs from the period.

Distro: **Beformer**. No lyrics published here (cover).

**Circulation (public + private archive):** Shazam lists **20,384 Shazams** on **angeleyes (feat. Lou Roy)** (release **August 12, 2022**, label **Beformer**; songwriters **Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Stig Anderson** on public metadata). [BIRP!](https://www.birp.fm/playlist/2022/september-2022/) listed the track in its **September 2022** Indie Playlist. [SecondHandSongs](https://secondhandsongs.com/performance/Scoobert%20Doobert/angeleyes) places the recording in the ABBA **Angeleyes** cover lineage. Private archive records, including friend videos and account-visible playlist evidence, indicate that much of the Shazam activity came from **H&M in-store rotation** — not an official H&M sync or campaign, and not publicly confirmed by H&M unless a public playlist log surfaces.
