‘With Love’, the new EP from Michael Learns To Rock will be released digitally and on radio on May 06th. It features 2 brand new songs 'Dream Girl', 'Crushing Blue' and the 2 singles released prior over the last 6 months, 'I'll Wait For You' and 'We Shared the Night'. 

“ 'Dream Girl' is very special to us. We had this song with us for quite some time but could not find the right time to release it. After various transformations and rewrites, we are now very proud of this version and we cannot think of a better time than now to share this with our fans to close off our 25th Anniversary celebrations, and just before Mother's Day weekend.” – Jascha Richter

Michael Learns To Rock's 25th Anniversary Celebrations officially came to a close when they performed the last of their '25Live' shows in China last week.

"The last 15 months or so have been very busy for us, writing, recording, producing and releasing music whilst touring the World all at the same time. But we were very happy to have that opportunity to do that for our fans. And like they say 'all good things must come to an end'. However we are looking forward to the next phase of our career. As a token of our love and appreciation to our fans who helped us celebrate our 25th anniversary, to those who came to our shows, we are releasing a new EP titled 'With Love' to close up our 25th Anniversary Celebrations”. – Kare Wanscher

2015 was a very busy year for Michael Learns To Rock as they were celebrating their 25th Anniversary. The celebration started 18 months ago when they re-released their first 5 studio albums in remastered deluxe editions followed by their most comprehensive greatest hits collection simply titled '25'. Shortly after, the band started to tour with their ‘25Live’ show which took them to Asia many times over.

'We have been traveling to Asia every chance we got when we were not touring somewhere else in the World. Our fans have been amazing, and we have been getting constant requests to come back and perform for our fans. It feels really great, and the energy of our fans have not changed at all. It was like how it was back in the 90s” - Mikkel Lentz.

"We want to dedicate this song and this EP to our fans who grew up together with us over the last 25 years. Also especially to all the Mother’s out there, and of course to our beautiful wives; the mother of our children, for always being there despite our heavy work and tour schedule. We hope you will love our EP as much as we do.” – Jascha Richter

Bruno Mars Artist of the Year 2013

Singer-songwriter and record producer, Bruno Mars, 28-year-old “Treasure” singer is the first male artist to claim the coveted title since 2008.

Bruno for how he “grabbed hold of the album and single charts and never let go,” stated at Billboard’s  cover page magazine. His second album, ‘Unorthodox Jukebox,’ hit No. 1 on the charts and has sold almost 2 million copies.

“Bruno did well in touring and I think longevity does really well for him. His songs stuck around on multiple formats all year round,” Bill Werde, editorial director of Billboard magazine, told Reuters.

“He’s a powerhouse, and really keeps his focus on the music in a year where conversations have been dominated by (MTV’s Video Music Award) performances and PR cycles.”

In addition to having one of the best-selling albums of the year with “UNORTHODOX JUKEBOX,” Billboard announced today that Mars topped 8 of their 2013 Year-End charts, including “Hot 100 Artists” and “Top Overall Artists.” To celebrate these accolades, the GRAMMY®-winning superstar has unveiled the eagerly awaited next leg of his blockbuster “Moonshine Jungle World Tour.” The acclaimed trek will hit arenas and amphitheaters across North America beginning summer 2014 (see attached listing of cities). Full details – including dates, venues, and ticket information – will be announced soon. For up-to-the-minute news, please see www.brunomars.com/moonshinejungletour. 

 

In addition to topping the “Hot 100 Artists” and “Top Overall Artists” charts, Bruno also came in at No. 1 on the following Billboard year-end rankings: “Hot 100 Singles Airplay,” “Hot Digital Songs,” “Mainstream Top 40” and “Pop Digital Songs.” On top of the Billboard “Artist of the Year” honors, Mars was also just named among the top nominees for the upcoming 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards. “Locked Out Of Heaven,” the #1 smash single from his blockbuster second album, “UNORTHODOX JUKEBOX,” received nods as “Record Of The Year” and “Song of the Year.” What’s more, the multi-talented singer/songwriter/superstar received two further nominations: “Best Pop Solo Performance” for the chart-topping “When I Was Your Man,” and “Best Pop Vocal Album” for UNORTHODOX JUKEBOX.

With 120 million singles sold worldwide, the 18-time GRAMMY® Award nominee and winner has made music history more than once, including such milestones as scoring his first five Billboard “Hot 100” chart-toppers faster than any male solo artist since Elvis Presley. In addition to his two acclaimed multi-platinum albums – 2010’s “DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS” and 2012’s “UNORTHODOX JUKEBOX,” of which share a combined certification total of 60x platinum worldwide – Mars has logged an extraordinary catalogue spanning 22 “Hot 100” hits, marking his numerous gifts as singer, songwriter, musician, and producer. A charismatic and irresistible live performer, he recently concluded the epic 2013 leg of the “Moonshine Jungle World Tour,” having performed sold-out shows in over 90 cities around the globe.

 

Furthermore, Mars is one of the most acclaimed artists of this or any other era, with Billboard hailing his work as “boldly ambitious and gloriously irreverent.” “Bruno Mars is beginning to stake a claim as one of the most gifted songwriters of his generation,” declared GQ, while The Hollywood Reporter ranked him “among the best male vocalists that the music industry has to offer.” The New York Times summed it up: “(Bruno Mars) is the most formidable synthesizer of styles going in pop today.”

 

Bruno Mars will begin his North American leg of his “Moonshine Jungle World Tour” in 2014, and will also headline the Super Bowl half time show in February.
