Mads Langer set to support The Feeling on their October tour

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Mads Langer will support The Feeling on their tour next month kicking off in Bournemouth on 3rd October.  With shows in Bristol, Nottingham, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and Manchester, Mads will finish the tour with a date at London’s o2 Shepherds Bush Empire on Friday 14th October.

Following his success in Europe, including a number one hit with a cover of Olive’s ‘You’re Not  Alone’, Mads Langer is also set to release ‘Riding Elevators’ from his forthcoming new album BEHOLD on 3rd October.  Check out the video right here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YrRnB7rNQQ&ob=av2e

The story behind BEHOLD began in November 2009 when the London based Mads Langer was asked by his local radio station to record a cover for their Best of 90s campaign. “I went through tons of 90’s dance compilations before I finally found a song with lyrics that actually meant something”. He picked “You’re Not Alone”.  A year later his contemporary and emotionally charged interpretation of the song had topped the charts around Europe and Mads found himself performing in front of 80,000 people. This was immediately followed by another wave of attention, this time with an original song “The River Has Run Wild” when it was featured in the popular TV series The Vampire Diaries.

Having written the songs for the album, Mads also co-produced them with collaborators such as Ethan Allen (Tricky, Throwing Muses) and Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz) with the personal goal of capturing the intimate emotions of the live performances which are at the core of Mads’ artistry.

“BEHOLD is a reflection of the constant flow of music in my mind, a permanent dialogue of lyrics and melodies capturing snapshots of my life” says Mads.
