| Marit On The Road� � She has won the record buyers over. Now Marit Larsen is about to embark on her first solo tour. � Last time she toured was the infamous M2M-tour in the USA. That tour came to an abrupt ending when it became clear that Marit was out of the duo, and that Marion Ravn was about to become a solo-artist. � This time around there is a bigger chance of completing the tour. �Don�t save me� is the best-selling song of this week too, while the album �Under the Surface� is at number five on the VG-charts. � - I have been looking forward to this a long time, this is what I love to do. My current band is really happening live. And for the first time in my career I�m about to perform full-length concerts. We didn�t do that in M2M. � Larsen tells us that the album will be performed in its entirety. In addition the audience will hear a bunch of unreleased songs plus a cover song. M2M-songs are not on the repertoire. � - I will not rule out the possibility of playing them in the future. But right now I have them at such a distance that it would not feel right. � Rewarding She looks forward to playing clubs where there�s not room for too many people. � - It�s both rewarding and brutal to play when you got the audience up close. It's the only place where you can get real feedback about what works and what does not. � When she held her release-party in Oslo on the 8th of March she forgot to put her harmonica on before she was about to play the monster-hit �Don�t save me�. � - The same thing happened on a radio broadcast too! I had to hum where there was supposed to be harmonica, and it did not turn out that good, she laughs. � Of all the shows, she is looking forward to the shows in Oslo and Lillestr�m the most. There she will be joined by eight people on strings � among them her own father, who plays at the Philharmonic Orchestra. - Now I�m old enough to think it�s nice to have him join me, she says |
