Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair) is a vibrant synth-pop track by Scottish singer Sheena Easton, released in August 1983 as the lead single from her fourth studio album, *Best Kept Secret*. Written by Greg Mathieson and Trevor Veitch, and produced by Mathieson, the song captures the emotional nuances of a long-distance relationship. The accompanying music video, directed by Steve Barron, features Easton in a whimsical black-and-white setting, being pursued by classic horror figures like Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster, adding a playful visual narrative to the song’s theme. The single achieved commercial success, peaking at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning Easton a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
