MLTR closes 25th-year feast with a new EP
With Love, the new EP from Michael Learns To Rock (MLTR), has been released digitally and on radio. It will feature two brand-new songs Dream Girl and
Crushing Blue, plus the two singles released earlier, 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,” says band member Jascha Richter
Michael Learns To Rock’s 25th anniversary celebrations officially came to a close when the band members performed the last of their 25 Live shows in China last week.
“The last 15 months or so have been very busy for us, writing, recording, producing and releasing music while touring the world all at the same time. But we are very happy to have that opportunity to do that for our fans. And like they say, all good things must come to an end,” says Kare Wanscher. “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 anniversary celebrations.”
2015 proved to be a very busy year for MLTR as it was celebrating its silver anniversary. The celebration started 18 months ago when the band re-released its first five studio albums in remastered deluxe editions followed by its most comprehensive greatesthits collection simply titled 25. Shortly after, MLTR started to tour with its 25
Live show, which took the band 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 has not changed at all. It was like how it was back in the ’90s,” says 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. And of course, to our beautiful wives for always being there despite our heavy work and tour schedule. We hope you will love our EP as much as we do,” says Jascha.
