Glam-pop queen Medina just officially released her sophomore U.S. LP, Forever, on Ultra Music. You can now preview Medina's new album in its entirety right HERE.
|
Medina's Forever is packed with gleaming electro-pop anthems, including the forthcoming single, synth-pop heartbreaker "Fool", which Medina explains is "about having people in your life you just need to get rid of because they're just no good. The song's about feeling sorry for those who refuse to change for the better." Another standout single is "Junkie", a slick progressive house track that's guaranteed to seep into your veins and make your body move. V Magazine recently premiered the Nordic songstress' grim dance pop visuals for the track HERE.
Moonlighting as a Multiplatinum-Selling Singer/Songwriter as well as a Model/Actress,and all-around "It Girl", Medina has experienced massive worldwide success with her US debut album Welcome To Medina, released in September 2011 which spawned the international hit single "You & I.” The single sold more than 1 million copies worldwide, and has over 20 million views on YouTube, while in the UK, the single ranked as A-list at BBC Radio 1 and entered the US Billboard Chart's Hot Dance Airplay at #6. The follow up single “Addiction” topped the Billboard Hot Dance Chart at #1.
While sitting on the top of the charts is all very exciting to Medina, there’s a sheer honesty with her that resonates beyond the clubs on a much larger level. "I can't write about champagne bottles and dancing on tables. That's just not me. I have a lot of art, and the way I write is quite sensitive." affirms Medina. Her honesty and realness is something her fans truly admire and respect, which is perhaps why has been the #1 MOST Googled Artist in Denmark 3 years in a row, and has received more radio airplay this year in her native Denmark than any other artist, all things she hopes will continue to translate with her US fans. Considering that the songstress cites Drake, Solange and Rihanna as three of her favorite artists of 2013, she can't be too far off.
While she anticipates the U.S. release of Forever, Medina isn't sitting around drumming her fingernails -
Following the release of her single "Overdose" (2013) with Wolfgang Gartner, the pop progenitress completed an acoustic tour of Europe that just wrapped and is now touring Germany, in addition to prepping her next upcoming international studio album. She just unleashed her own Danish makeup line, and Medina reveals that her next project is "a clothing line for men…a mix of Malene Birger and Balmain".
Medina's Forever LP is available now on iTunes HERE. Medina will soon be announcing select dates in both LA and NYC this January 2014. Stay tuned. |

ABOUT MEDINA:
Since her 2010 release, Velkommen til Medina (Welcome to Medina), Medina has ruled the Danish music scene as one of the top-selling female artists to date. But even though Denmark is the artist’s hometown as well as the primary market for Medina’s success (she has sold over 600,000 singles and 400,000 albums to date), it is by far not the only part of the world where she is known.
Medina, a pop artist with a dance and R&B influence, already has a large European following, she is Denmark’s biggest and most celebrated female artist, a multi-platinum selling performer, who has graced the cover of Elle magazine and has won multiple awards in her native Denmark, including the MTV Award for “Best Danish Act” for the last three years in a row, which is record breaking. She has also won the Fashion Icon Award in both 2010 and 2011, 8 Danish Music Awards (Equivalent to US Grammy) and more. There is an artistic depth to Medina that clearly separates her from most other female pop icons.
Medina is set to conquer the U.S. music charts with her forthcoming US debut album release for Ultra Records, “Forever” this December. Within five months of its European release, the album reached Gold status in Germany and her current summer tour is already sold out in Denmark.
Not only is Medina a highly successful pop artist, she is also the face of many established brands such as Reebok, Schweppes Lemon and Jewelry line Krantz & Ziegler. She has also appeared on the cover of Elle Denmark twice, along with other female and lifestyle magazine covers most recently Eurowoman, making her highly suitable for anything fashion-related. With her foot well in the fashion world door, there is undoubtedly more to come.
