Mike Andersen, the Aarhus-based roots artist, has announced the upcoming release of his 10th album, along with a solo tour this spring. His first single, ‘Only For You’, offers a glimpse into the intimate, acoustic side of his new work. The song is stripped down to just vocals and acoustic guitar, aligning with the vulnerable theme of opening up to a new relationship and allowing oneself to be truly seen.
Produced by Christian Ki, who has earned critical acclaim for both his solo albums and work with artists like Simone Tang, the new single is an honest, minimalist creation with Americana influences. The accompanying black-and-white animated music video reflects the raw emotional tone of the song.
In addition to the release of ‘Only For You’, Mike Andersen will embark on an extensive solo tour across Denmark in April and May, performing in venues like Amager Bio and Dexter.
Mike Andersen, who debuted in 2002 with ‘My Love for The Blues’, has consistently evolved as an artist blending blues and roots with contemporary influences. His dynamic live shows and music have earned him numerous awards, including two DMA Blues awards in 2022. With this new album and tour, he continues to solidify his place in Denmark’s music scene and internationally.
About Mike Andersen
Mike Andersen has a uniquely characteristic and powerful voice, an intense guitar style, and a fantastic band. These are just a few of the many reasons he is one of the prime concert attractions in Denmark and Northern Europe.
The inspiration of years of touring has given Mike’s new recording the maturity and soul of hard-earned real-life experience. You can hear it and feel it or as Mike says it: “I’m old enough to smile at how amusing my younger self’s know-it-all attitude was back in the day. I’m also old enough to understand the importance of keeping an open mind and moving forward, not backward.”
