Danish singer-songwriter Mads Langer broke through internationally in 2010, with his acoustic cover of Olive’s 1997 banger You’re Not Alone. Although he had several bigger hits in his home country since then, his success abroad quickly stalled. And that’s a pity, for Langer is a very talented composer and multi-instrumentalist.

Take his new single for instance. He wrote, produced, sang and played all instruments on it himself. Life In Stereo is a great tune that deserves a spot on radio and Spotify playlists alike. It’s both soulful and funky, in a Stevie Wonder kind of way.

Meanwhile, Langer is creative on another level as well. The last months he managed to continue performing live by staging several very successful drive-in concerts.
