Over 100 Singapore fans and media recently opened up their hearts for Danish band Lukas Graham, at the showcase that was hosted at M Social Singapore.
The band, led by frontman Lukas Graham Forchhammer, after whom the band is named, performed hits such as ‘7 Years’, ‘Love Someone’ and songs off the band’s latest album, ‘3 (The Purple Album)’. The tunes transformed MySpace into an intimate romantic setting filled with acoustic ballads, followed by a meet-and-greet session.
The pop-soul trio first gained international acclaim with the hit song ‘7 Years’ in 2015, which peaked at number one on various European charts including Denmark, Italy and Belgium, and charted at the second spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 List in the US. The song has also been nominated for ‘Best Song’ at the Grammy Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards and BBC Music Awards. Their third album was released in October 2018, and includes the single ‘Love Someone’, which debuted at number one in Denmark and has crossed 100 million streams on YouTube.
M Social also held its first ticketed event, with Singapore comedian Hirzi Zulkiflie, who goes by his first name. The comedian started his career as an online personality producing parodies, skits and satires on YouTube, before crossing over to TV, film, theatre and stand-up comedy. His sold-out show had audiences laughing at observational commentaries and his perspective of a millennial growing up in Singapore.
