LUKAS GRAHAM RETURNS WITH THE “CHEAT CODE” FOR HAPPY LOVE OUT MAY 3
Lukas Graham, the “7 Years”-hitmaker and 3X GRAMMY® Award-nominated Danish pop star is back with “Cheat Code,” his first new release since last years’ 4 (The Pink Album). Out today, “Cheat Code” introduces a new yet nostalgic sound from Lukas Graham and is the lead single from a new album set to be released worldwide through Universal Music Group.
The new single is recorded at Lukas Graham’s Copenhagen studio, written along with the American songwriter, Autumn Rowe, most recently renowned for her work with Jon Batiste on the GRAMMY®-winning album, ‘We Are’, and the Dutch Billboard-chart topping producer, Kizzo, known for his work with artists like Usher, Ne-Yo and Jason Derulo. The vocals for “Cheat Code” were recorded in front of a live audience at the legendary Copenhagen venue, VEGA, during his 8-night residency earlier this year.
“I think everyone knows the struggles of keeping love and life both happy and exciting in a romantic relationship. I got the cheat code for my girl and how to make our everyday adventurous and fun. Of course, it’s oversimplified but the underlying message is for everyone to unlock each other’s undiscovered levels to explore new sides of shared love,” Lukas Graham says about “Cheat Code.”
In the making of his new album, Lukas Graham also spent eight consecutive nights at the legendary Copenhagen venue, VEGA, inviting fans to participate in the studio recordings live on stage! These unique and intimate live events – also known as “The Recording Experience” – has led to several vocal recordings which are going to be heard on upcoming songs from the new album.
The release of “Cheat Code” comes one year after the 2023 release of his most honest work to date: ‘4 (The Pink Album)’ followed by sold-out tours around Europe, the U.K. and the U.S. In August 2019, Danish artist Lukas Graham became one of the first 25 acts to enter Spotify’s Billions Club with his smash hit “7 Years,” which kicked off the remarkable story of a global multi-Platinum #1-hit song that paved the way for an international Danish pop star that still continues to shine.
