Pop Group MLTR Will Debut In Bollywood Movies

"We just love Bollywood films", says Danish pop group Michael Learns to Rock, who are visiting India for the third time. The band which consists of Jascha Richter, Mikkel Lentz and Kare Wanscher and also known as 'MLTR', had toured the country in 1995 and 2005. They are back to promote their latest album 'Eternity'. "We love Bollywood films and Indian music. We can't remember all the names but would love to be part of them," MLTR said.

"Basically India is our favourite country. We like the people, the food and the beauty of the country. Every time in India is something special," they added. The band, named after the late 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson, was formed in 1988 and originally existed as a four member group. In 2000, bassist Sore Madsen decided to leave the group to embark on a solo career. Although it has sold over 10 million records worldwide, MLTR has a much bigger fan base in Asia than compared to US and Europe.

"Our melodies and the fact that people can sing along to our songs and also a number of concerts in the Asian countries have made us popular here," they said. The pop stars, who have produced hits like, 'The Actor', 'Sleeping Child', 'Breaking My Heart', 'Nothing to Lose' and 'You Took My Heart Away' will be performing a singback show in the capital on 17th June at F Bar.

"One will have to wait to see what we have in store as it's gonna be a short promo show with only 30-40 minutes. And I am sure that people will know a few of the songs on the playlist," MLTR said. Released in 2008, 'Eternity' is the soft rock group's seventh studio album.

"It was produced by Mikkel for the first time. He wanted to include a few very old songs which have not been released before and it turned out great. We also used other songwriters for the first time to get new experience and to try new ways. We are very happy and proud of the Eternity album," MLTR said.

Apart from Delhi, MLTR will also be performing in Bangalore and Mumbai as part of their tour.
