MØ
‘Forever Neverland’ saw MØ touring the world over off the back of its success.
Her career was almost instantly launched into the stratosphere with her monumental 2014 debut album ‘No Mythologies’ and a very prominent feature soon after on one of the most successful singles of all time with Major Lazer’s ‘Lean On’.
When touring behind ‘Forever Neverland’ came to a halt in 2019, MØ found herself completely burned out after five years on the road.
She returned to Denmark to recalibrate and recover from the physical and mental exhaustion she was experiencing as a result but had trouble checking out. A serious vocal injury requiring months of rehabilitation exacerbated her bouts of anxiety and a sense that things were slipping out of her control.
MØ, born Karen Marie Aagaard Ørsted Andersen, hunkered down and did what she knew best by writing songs. The music that began to emerge bridged the gap between her years as a teen-punk touring anarchist squats across Europe, and the bright Scandipop she’d come to be known for to create a darker and more personal take on her sound with new album ‘Motordrome’.
