Michael Learn Rock English Name: Michael Learn Rock official website www. MLTR.DK
Once described as a sweet encounter between Scandinavian music tradition and western pop music, McSnow Rock can't be done simply by using the word "Danish group". Their amazing global sales of 8 million songs are not only rare in ordinary orchestras, but also their ability to penetrate into the emotional level of pop music and their accurate grasp of the composition of note groups make them one of the most successful groups in the history of Danish pop music. Michael Locke has sold more than 500,000 records in his hometown, but what is even more amazing is that their global sales figure is as high as 8 million! Among them, there has been a wave of enthusiasm in Asia.
1987, Yasha richter formed a small band in Arrus. Among them are two later MLTR band members: Kare Vancher and Mikel Lentz. Although I am young, I have been exposed to rock music since I was a child, and all have the experience of performing in other bands.
1In May, 1988, under the name of "Michael learns to rock", the band officially participated in a music competition called "Dansk Rock Grand Prix" held in Arrus, and finally won the championship. This success made them famous in Ahrus area. In August of the same year, on an accidental occasion, the band met the later boss and agent JP Anderson. Andersen realized that this young band would have a bright future and began to "create opportunities" for them. In the following two years, the band appeared in various music festivals, clubs and other occasions with the help of Andersen.
The band joined EMI records and began to realize their dreams step by step. 1in the autumn of 989, after recording some DEMO, I started recording my first album. Janshoffman and OLI· Paulson are producers, and American Tony Peruso is sound mixer. 1 991September1day, a record named "Michael learns to rock" finally came out. This album became the best-selling album in Denmark and lasted for five weeks. Among them, the single "Actor" became the champion of Danish radio pop charts on 1992 1, and then this work quickly topped the pop charts in Norway, Sweden, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries, and entered Canada, Germany and other countries, making MLTR a household name with lightning speed. The diligent "Michael" didn't stop learning. They set up their own music studio and their own recording studio.
In this MLTR craze, they began to tour in Denmark and visited some Southeast Asian countries, further consolidating their musical achievements. In the meantime, JASCHA RICHTER did not relax and began to write new songs for his second album. The album Color was released on 1993 and 10, covering most of Europe and the Far East, and it was once again a great success. Lonely Sleeping Children has become another important global work of MLTR. Other singles, including "25 Minutes" and "Thunderbolt", occupy a very high position in the local pop charts, and the global sales of the album have exceeded 1 10,000. In the following 18 months, the band traveled all over the world and was warmly welcomed by fans everywhere. 1994 was a glorious year for the band. As a perfect summary, MLTR won the German music authority award RSH Award at the end of the year, and was named "Best Performance of the Year" at the Grammy Awards in Singapore.
MLTR's third album on Zanthoxylum bungeanum was released in 1995, and its distribution scope was further expanded to1/countries in Europe, South America, South Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. On June 5438+ 10 that year, the band held 25 concert tours in Southeast Asia 10 countries, which were treated like royalty, and released well-received singles such as "That's why (you left)" and "One day", among which "That's why (you left)" topped the list at an unprecedented speed. The global sales of the album also exceeded 654.38+200,000 copies.
An inevitable negative effect of the band's popularity is the emergence of a large number of piracy, which is particularly rampant in Southeast Asian countries. In order to deal with this problem, MLTR specially released an album with high gold content-"Drawing My Love to Southeast Asia 1996". This is actually a summary of MLTR's achievements since her debut, including the most popular singles in all previous albums, and adding a single of the same name, PAINT MY LOVE. Although the MTV of this song has been strictly examined by film and television censors in many countries, it has once again proved the unparalleled talent of the band. The final album sales reached 3.4 million. In July, 1997, MLTR, as one of the main performing guests, participated in a concert to celebrate the return of Hong Kong to the motherland.
By 1997, Michael Learning Rock is a super band, which has published four albums and one featured album, with global sales exceeding seven million, and nearly ten singles ranked first. 1In the autumn of 997, MLTR made a trip to Asia. They visited Shanghai and Beijing in June 5438+065438+ 10 with excellent works. On the night of the performance in Beijing, the huge gymnasium was packed. Thousands of fanatical fans of all colors spent an unforgettable night with their idols. When interviewed after the concert, MLTR members said that they were moved by the enthusiasm of the fans. The lead singer JASCHA RICHTER said that he really didn't expect China fans to be so familiar with their songs in advance, and MLTR members expressed their deep gratitude for their support.
The latest album of strange foreign beauty Remixed and More 1999 MLTR is another collection of them, which is released simultaneously in Europe, Africa and Asia. This has caused fans everywhere to set off MLTR fever again.
A nine-year music course is neither too long nor too short. Four members of MLTR also decided to put aside their jobs and their favorite rock music for the time being. However, JASCHA prepared several new songs as early as the autumn of 1998. So the band chose the single "Strange Foreign Beauty" as the decoration of their selected album. The title of Selected Golden Songs is appropriate, because it extracts the essence of the first four albums, and after mixing, re-recording or arranging, it brings together MLTR's masterpieces in the past nine years. This selected album released by 1999 once again broke through millions of sales, bringing MLTR music to further corners of the world.
In the spring of 2000, when MLTR started making their fifth album, Soren Madsen decided to leave the band to develop herself. Although his departure did bring a lot of shock to MLTR, the other three members of the band, Richter, Lenz and Wanshe, were determined to continue this journey. The production of the album also resumed in the summer. As before, they did not choose to cooperate with famous foreign producers who are good at "making stars", but with Danish music producer Boe Larsen. This brand-new album called Blue Night was released at the end of 2000. The successful release of the album Blue Night is their first highlight in the new millennium. During their tour in Asia again, their songs and singing skills proved that they are evergreen trees in the music industry.
In April 2004, MLTR, which kept fans waiting for four years, released a brand-new album "Bring Me to Your Heart". "Don't Lose" in the new album became the English theme song of the French film "If You Dare to Love Me". Another song is "Bring Me to Your Heart", which fills Jacky Cheung's Goodbye with English lyrics and pushes Asian love songs to the world, and this song has become one of MLTR's favorite songs in China. This song is popular all over China, and the album has also created a miracle of 250,000 sales and won the Golden Record Award of EMI. In September, 2004, mltr came to Beijing to attend the MTV Awards Ceremony of CCTV, won the best foreign singer of the year award, and met their fans in Shanghai, which pushed the mltr craze in China to the highest point. Therefore, mltr was also invited to attend the CCTV Spring Festival Gala held in Guangzhou on February 3, that year, and played "Bring Me to Your Heart".
From then on, mltr began to perform in various places. In March and April, 2005, MLTR released their selected works in Korea, and cooperated with Xinhui City, the mythical hometown of China, to launch the English-Korean duet version, and went to Korea to perform and promote it. In September, 2005, MLTR launched its selected work "MLTR Selected Works" in China. On June 5438+1October of that year, mltr also came to Shanghai to participate in the performance of F 1, and together with famous drivers such as Raikkonen and Alonso, it made China audience further appreciate the elegance of mltr with a passionate F 1 night. Later, mltr went to India, Cambodia, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries to continue their performance tour in Asia.
In 2006, mltr was basically in a state of rest, and there were only a few charity performances in Malaysia in February and March. Of course, this is also related to their cancellation of the contract with EMI Records, which has been cooperating for nearly 20 years, and their signing with CMC Records, a new company. The reason for the termination of the contract may be that EMI's propaganda on mltr made both parties uncomfortable. But the lead singer jascha soon gave everyone a surprise. He released his second solo album in 5438+ 10. Where do I belong & gt, follow
In March 2007, mltr finally released its first live album "Best Live", which was released in South Africa and Denmark, including two new songs "Only Love and Traffic" and "Stars", and the live song 16 performed in India in 2005. At the beginning of the year and in June, mltr came to Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province, Singapore and other places, and sang another mysterious cover Chinese song "I Go This Way Alone". Finally, 10 mltr came to China from June 10 to June 18, and brought the album "I Walk Alone" released by them, which covered Cui Jian's classic rock "Nothing", mltr's performance at the closing ceremony of the Shanghai Special Olympics, Zhoushan's "The Same Song" and Beijing Sohu Song Festival. Of course, the most gratifying thing for everyone is that the band members mentioned more than once that they will start working after returning to Denmark after the performance, and they are going to give back their enthusiasm with their brand-new albums in the first half of 2008, which also means that mltr's seventh album will be grandly born four years later.
MLTR's latest album Eternity in 2008 was officially released in Europe on1October 27th! The next day, MLTR released the album's second title song "Sweet Test Surprise", which was widely broadcast on major Danish radio stations. The new song "Sweet Test Surprise" continues MLTR's consistent lyrical style, as if returning to MLTR more than ten years ago.
All along, Michael's learning to rock and roll has proved through his own efforts that even in the farthest corner of the world, the distance from us is just a touching song.
