FROM wedding playlists to heartfelt karaoke belts, Michael Learns to Rock’s (MLTR) songs have been the “soundtracks” for many ever since its first single I Still Carry On dropped in July 1991.
A popular band in its own rights, the Danish pop rock band’s entry into the music industry was celebrated by the masses, earning MLTR its own fanbase. In an era of boy bands and punk rock groups, MLTR found a niche in the 90s for its soft, melodious tracks that swooned its fans, complemented by its no-controversy and humble reputation.
MLTR’s legacy is akin to that of Bee Gees in the 70s, a “pop rock misfit” in disco prime – you may not know MLTR albums by heart but you have heard of its songs at least once.
Reentering the entertainment scene, MLTR is currently on the road and is set to play in Malaysia at the Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting on Sunday. Leading up to its concert, theSun has had the opportunity to sit down with the band in an exclusive interview.
The band revealed after nine albums, with hits such as That’s Why (You Go Away), 25 Minutes, Sleeping Child and Take Me to Your Heart, which are still popular, it has more stories to sing now.
