Michael Learns to Rock(also known as MLTR) is
a Danish soft rock and pop rock band
formed in 1988. The band currently consists of Jascha Richter, Mikkel
Lentz and Kåre Wanscher. Søren
Madsen was an original member of the group since its formation but left in
2000. The band has sold over 11 million records over the
course of their career, with the majority sold in Scandinavia and Asia. Despite being Danish,
the band performs songs in English.
The band has attributed its success in Asia to their drug-free, clean-living
image and to singing in English as a second language.
MLTR has earned gold and platinum status for
records in many countries and won many awards, including the Gold Preis Award
from RSH, Germany and "The
Best Performing Act of the Year" at the SEA Grammy Awards in Singapore. In
addition, their song "Take Me to Your Heart"
was awarded "most downloaded single of the year 2006" with 6 million
or more paid downloads. The band has recorded nine studio albums as well as a
number of live and greatest hits albums. Their latest studio album, Still,
was released on 21 March 2018.
During the peak of their popularity in the
mid and late 1990s, MLTR was described by critics as being "as good (if
not better) a band as any current big name group out of America or the UK or
the Australia." According to the band's record label releases, their sound
is "the perfect balance of a Scandinavian glow and the international pop
song that has been instrumental in forming the compelling sound of the
band", although the lead singer and songwriter, Jascha Richter,
disagrees with this, maintaining that the music defies geographical
categorization.
Nothing to Lose is the fourth studio album of the Danish soft rock band Michael
Learns to Rock. It was released on September
12, 1997 by Medley Records in
Denmark. Like the previous album, Played on Pepper(1995),
it was mainly produced by the band itself. Guitar player Mikkel Lentz said the band programmed new beats during the mixing
process as they wanted to experiment a bit more with this album. While the
band's previous albums relied heavily on soft rock ballads, Nothing
to Lose also contains a rockier sound intended
to suit the European market. Bass guitar player Søren Madsen debuts as songwriter on the track
"Magic".
In Denmark, Nothing to Lose sold 25.000
copies on the day of release. In May 1998, the album had sold 500.000 copies
worldwide, with 70.000 copies being sold in Denmark.
The fourth single, "I'm Gonna Be
Around" was re-produced by Per Magnusson and David Kreuger for its single release. The song was "written especially for
the United States" according to lead singer Jascha Richter. It was
later included on the compilation álbum MLTR(1999).
There are times
When you make me laugh
There are moments when you drive me mad
There are seconds when
I see the light
Though many times you made me cry
There's something
You don't understand
I want to be your man
Nothing to lose
Your love to win
Hoping so bad
That you'll love me in
I'm at your feet
Waiting for you
I've got time
And nothing to lose
There are times
When I believe in you
These moments when I feel close to you
There are times I think
That I am yours
Though many times I feel unsure
There's something
You don't understand
I want to be your man
Nothing to lose
Your love to win
Hoping so bad
That you'll let me in
I'm on your feet
Waiting for you
I've got time
And nothing to lose
I'll always be around
you
Keep an eye on you
And I won't let you run
'Cause you are the only one
Nothing to lose
Your love to win
Hoping so bad
That you'll let me in
I'm at your feet
Waiting for you
I've got time
And nothing to lose.
