MTV Sound Check for The Big Room album |
 |
M2M
"The Big Room" (Atlantic)
In Summary: A huge improvement
for the girls. A pop record that rocks indeed!
|
Sounds Like: After three different
releases of their debut album "Shades Of Purple," Norwegian teen pop sensation
M2M are finally back with spanking new material to charm the pop crowd
once again!
You May Have Heard: The lead
single "Everything," which has a video that unveils the girls' new image.
Watch out for the attitude-laden Marion and Marit in hot pants and tinted
shades. Serious Britney contenders indeed!
We Fancy: Be prepared for
an all-new M2M! In just two years, Marion and Marit have outgrown their
cutesy "Pokemon" days and emerged with stronger vocals and harmonising
abilities, clearly evident on tracks like "Everything," "What Do You Do
About Me," "Payphone," and "Eventually." Although the girls are still writing
about teen issues like popularity, love, and jealousy ("Miss Popular,"
"Jennifer"), the teeny-poppy sound is there no more! Instead, the girls
have gone for a more organic, guitar-based sound that really works well
with their new singing style.
We're Not Sure About: They
write their own stuff, play their own instruments, sing really well, and
they look really good too! So young and yet so talented! How can anyone
not like them at all?
Verdict: Definitely a huge
improvement for the girls. A pop record that rocks indeed! -- Britpopster

M2M Charm Singapore! |
| Dropping by Asia for a whirlwind
promotional tour for their latest album "The Big Room," Marion Raven and
Marit Larsen of M2M finally made their way to Singapore (their second last
stop) for a short two-day stopover. Not only did the girls hold an autograph
session at HMV at the Heeren Shops that attracted thousands of M2M fans,
they also put up a fantastic gig at Grease disco last December 10, 2002. |
|
Being an "over-18-only" event, the
event unfortunately didn't manage to see the usual screaming mad fans in
attendance. Kicking off their gig at about 7:30 p.m., Marion and Marit
launched into their first lead single "Everything" off the "The Big Room."
The song, slightly edgier than the old stuff that M2M used to do, certainly
proved to be a hit among the fans who clapped and sang along with the girls.
|
Showing an huge improvement in their
vocals abilities, Marion and Marit belted out two more songs "What You
Do About Me" and the slightly angsty "Jennifer." Marion also whipped out
her baby Taylor and decided to join Marit on guitars for an acoustic set
on "Don't" and "Love Left For Me." The male fans were of course transfixed
at the sight of two cute girls on stage playing guitars with such passion! |
A short banter with the girls giving
out two cute bears that each of the girls personalized with their kisses
later, the night finally ended with an acoustic version of "Pretty Boy."
A short showcase it may be but it was certainly quite a worthwhile one!
