(March 18, 2016 Press Release) Singer, songwriter and former member of pop 90’s duo M2M, Marit Larsen, announces the release of her upcoming EP, Joni was right, out April 1, 2016 via iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all other digital service providers. Recorded on the Faroe Islands and self-produced by Marit, this project is a departure from her pop records.

The EP is currently available for pre-order - link below: iTunes: http://apple.co/1nUmqCC Listen to a snippet of “No” here: https://soundcloud.com/little-big-sister/marit-larsen-no-snippet As a teen, Marit’s good friend gave her Joni's albums (Blue, Court and Spark, Ladies of the Canyon) and she was never the same again. Through the natural rollercoaster of life, they have been the soundtracks of her journey. To Marit, Joni’s lyrics unfolded like the advice of an older sister, trying to guide her down the right path. With Joni’s help, however, Marit learned that we all continue to make our own decisions, and have to learn the tough lessons outrselves. Come to find out, in the end, Joni was right.
This EP is the debut release on Marit's very own label, Håndbrygg Records (translating to “hand brew” records). She is an avid coffee connoisseur! And how she brews her coffee, is how she brews her records, with lots of love. “Starting this label has been a long time coming. One of the biggest changes in this new life is that I’ll be able to release music how and when I want to, meaning more frequent releases and being able to release my records worldwide simultaneously. Geo blocking simply does not belong on 2016.” says Marit on why she wanted to launch Håndbrygg Records. Tracklist: Running Out Of Road Morgan, I Might No Hidden Heart A Stranger Song Marit Larsen is originally from Oslo, Norway and has been involved in music ever since she can remember. At a young age, Larsen took youth culture by storm as one half of the pop duo, M2M. Their debut single, “Don’t Say You Love Me” was a global success. As Larsen grew older she decided to become a solo artist, and has gone on to have an incredibly successful career. When The Morning Comes, received rave reviews when it was released in Norway, and earned her two nominations for the Norwegian Grammy, ‘Spellemansprisen,’ in the categories Best Lyricist and Best Composer. “I Don’t Want to Talk About It” has been praised by Perez Hilton saying, ”The Norwegian singer has just released one of the best songs of her career!!!” maritlarsen.com instagram.com/larsenmarit facebook.com/MaritLarsen twitter.com/larsenmarit youtube.com/user/maritlarsen Marit Larsen on Spotify
