Copenhagen, Denmark – Markus Artved, the talented indie musician and producer from Copenhagen, has released his latest single, “Hey Dreams,” under his project, Honey Hideout. This new track comes as a prelude to Honey Hideout’s debut EP, slated for release later this year.

A Journey Through Dreams and Realities

“Hey Dreams” explores the profound and often poignant realization that life doesn’t always turn out as we’ve planned. In moments when time feels fleeting, there is beauty in surrendering to the present and embracing life’s unpredictable twists and turns. Markus Artved invites listeners into this introspective space with his newest musical offering.

“Dreams are fleeting and often impossible to recite or remember to their full extent when we wake up. On the contrary, the dreams that each of us have for the future are both infinite and everlasting, but they also change as we develop and grow. When a dream eventually comes true,...

Kygo’s fourth album Thrill of the Chase arrived in a nature that keeps pace with its title. The Norwegian DJ and pop hitmaker released the record on Friday with no warning, chasing the thrill of the increasingly common surprise digital drop.

On Lukas Graham’s new track, “Lie,” lead singer Lukas Forchhammer dissects his relationship with his fiancée. This is the Danish group’s first new single since releasing third album 3 (The Purple Album) last year.

The autobiographical song has Forchhammer recalling the more chaotic, teenage days of his relationship with the woman he will marry.

Memories of fights and...

Danish soul-pop trio Lukas Graham may be the toast of Top 40 radio, but in his latest interview with Rolling Stone, frontman Lukas Forchhammer comes off as down-to-earth as ever. The 30-year-old singer-songwriter and his band first catapulted to global fame with their 2015 smash single, “7 Years” — which not only peaked at Number Two on the Hot 100, but earned them three Grammy nominations in 2017. The trio bounded back up the charts this year with their new LP, 3 (The Purple Album), a collection of no-frills, heartrending songs that touch upon themes of parenthood,...

“Love Someone” appears on Lukas Graham’s latest album, 3 (The Purple Album), which arrived in October. 3 follows the band’s two self-titled LPs,...

Lukas Graham frontman Lukas Forchhammer finds healing via camaraderie in the Danish band’s meditative video for new song “Not a Damn Thing Changed.” The clip – dedicated to the “loving memory of William,” one of the singer’s late friends – opens with an emotional Forchhammer at a funeral.

In a statement, Forchhammer elaborated on the video dedication.

Earning a Grammy nomination is a huge deal for any up-and-coming band, but the excitement is multiplied for Lukas Graham. The Danish hit-makers scored the prestigious Song of the Year and Record of the Year double-whammy for their infectious “7 Years,” plus a further nod for Best Group Performance. Consider the fact that they’re the first of their countrymen to ever accomplish this remarkable feat, and it all adds up to a big reason to celebrate.

Unfortunately, the band has to keep their joyous hysteria contained for the next few hours.

“A Grammy nomination is a huge thing!” frontman Lukas Forchhammer tells People.

Lukas Graham frontman Lukas Forchhammer is basking in the glow of newfound fatherhood.

The Danish “7 years” singer and his longtime girlfriend, Marie-Louise “Rillo” Schwartz, welcomed a baby girl in September. And the doting dad was happy to share the details about his daughter — including her name, which had yet to be revealed.

“Her name is Viola,” Forchhammer, 28, told People Friday night of his 10-week-old daughter at the 102.7 Kiis FM’s Jingle Ball in Los Angeles. “We haven’t kept it secret. It just hasn’t come up.”

It’s hard to imagine MTV holding the interest of anyone over the age of 16, but these days they don’t even come across as being in touch enough for the younger demographic. This year’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) nominees have been announced, and for the most part the network seems intent on shoving the same artists down our throats that it did five years ago.

You can count the DJ/producers nominated for VMAs in 2016 on one hand: Calvin Harris, 99 Souls, Afrojack, Alesso and The Chainsmokers. Even Skrillex and SeeB’s names were left curiously absent from the nominations for Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” and Mike Posner’s “I Took A Pill In Ibiza,” respectively, even though the latter song marks Posner’s first relevant single since 2011.

As its growth has run parallel to the proliferation of streaming services, electronic music simply isn’t a cash crop...

A ranking of performances at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards 17.) Britney Spears may have had some impressive 90s theatrics, but poor lip sync will always kill a performance. 16.) Madonna‘s tribute to Prince was passable, but we’ve seen so many better tributes in the past month. Not even Stevie Wonder could make this memorable. 15.) “Seven Years” is a great song, but Lukas Graham needed to do more with it to stand out against the whizz and bang his fellow performers were putting out. 14.) Pink has many better songs than “Just Like Fire,” but at least she justified the selection by bringing in some impressive pyrotechnics.
