Norwegian pop duo M2M announce their first release in more than 20 years

Taylor Swift once named Norwegian duo M2M (aka Marit Larsen and Marion Raven) as one of the 51 female artists who inspired her. 

Having reformed last year after bumping into each other while queuing for coffee in Oslo, Larsen and Raven announced back in October that they would mark the 25th anniversary of the first M2M album Shades of Purple with a new run of shows in southeast Asia, aptly titled the Better Endings Tour.

Now with the first date in Bangkok just a few weeks away, M2M have announced the 9 May release of a new EP, Still in my dreams, featuring newly recorded reworkings of four Shades of Purple tracks plus one from their second album, 2001’s The Big Room. Pre-save the EP here.

Still in my dreams tracklist:

1. The Day You Went Away (2025)
2. Don’t Say You Love Me (2025)
3. Everything (2025)
4. Mirror Mirror (2025)
5. Pretty Boy (2025)
