Mike Andersen, the Aarhus-based roots artist, has announced the upcoming release of his 10th album, along with a solo tour this spring. His first single, ‘Only For You’, was released on March 13th, offering a glimpse into the intimate, acoustic side of his new work. The song is stripped down to just vocals and acoustic guitar, aligning with the vulnerable theme of opening up to a new relationship and allowing oneself to be truly seen.

Produced by Christian Ki, who has earned critical acclaim for both his solo albums and work with artists like Simone Tang, the new single is an honest, minimalist creation with Americana influences. The accompanying black-and-white animated music video reflects the raw emotional tone of the song.
In addition to the release of ‘Only For You’, Mike Andersen will embark on an extensive solo tour across Denmark in April and May, performing in venues like Amager Bio and Dexter.

Mike Andersen, who debuted in 2002 with ‘My Love for The Blues’, has consistently evolved as an artist blending blues and roots with contemporary influences. His dynamic live shows and music have earned him numerous awards, including two DMA Blues awards in 2022. With this new album and tour, he continues to solidify his place in Denmark’s music scene and internationally.

Former ‘The Voice’ finalist and renowned TV sync music writer LLOREN releases her next single ‘Like I Need’.

On the track, LLOREN explains, “After coming out of a 12-year relationship, I realised that any love I accepted next would have to be something spectacular, the kind of romance you see on movie screens. It wasn’t that I wasn’t loved before, just not in the way I needed. When I started developing a new crush, as exciting as it was, I knew I couldn’t settle. I wanted and deserved the kind of love that sweeps you off your feet, full of passion, magic, and possibility. Nothing less. The chorus is a pretty much a road map to my heart!”.

Produced by Daniel Pashman, ‘Like I Need’ captures feelings of hope and anticipation, while keeping the retro, anthemic vibe that’s quickly becoming LLOREN’s signature. The track’s melancholic under-tones are swept away in a thick 80s production, as the chorus hits hard with its instantly engaging and relatable themes, bringing all of the feels of searching for new love.

Hit TV show The Traitors, Grey’s Anatomy, The L Word, 1923, Wish, The Company You Keep, Made In Chelsea, Love Island UK and Love Island USA are just some of the many sync credits LLOREN has amassed to date, which have steadily proved her rich, multi-faceted vocal and powerful contemporary inspired compositions to be a cut above the rest.

Tracks from LLOREN’s hugely anticipated forthcoming debut album ‘It’s Always Sunny in LA’ have already picked up airplay from BBC Radio 2’s Angela Griffin and Radio X’s John Kennedy and press acclaim from prestigious music tastemakers Louder Than War and The Line Of Best Fit, as momentum continues to build. LLOREN’s video for her track ‘Like This’ also won a Telly Award in the US, as well as also being nominated for a prestigious Leo Award in Canada.

LLOREN appeared at The Gibson Garage All Day Festival in London earlier this year and in her career to date has opened European tours for Fleurie, Johannes Oerding and Michael Patrick Kelly respectively, played the UK’s annual PRIDE celebrations in Manchester and London and toured with Mauvey, with whom she collaborated with on the track ‘Pillow’, performing it at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend as well as the Isle Of Wight Festival 2023.
