Danish music star Lukas Graham is back in Manila to grace the New Frontier Theater stage tonight.
Lukas is known as one of the 25 artists to join Spotify’s Billions Club, thanks to his 2015 chart-topper, 7 Years, from his self-titled international album. The song struck a chord with music fans due to its message about family, friendship and passing of time. The video for 7 Years has now amassed 1.4 billion views on YouTube, while the song itself boasts nearly two billion streams on Spotify.
When asked about his upcoming show during a virtual presscon, Lukas said his setlist would align with what he’s performed at summer festivals worldwide. “Several of my songs are quite emotional, but we still have some party songs, so I think fans could be expecting to laugh, dance, and cry during the concert,” he said. “I love being able to make people have a big party, but I also love how my lyrics and my more poignant ballads can evoke a multitude of emotions in the audience.
Lukas shared the story behind 7 Years, the song that led him to play overseas. “I was 24 or 25 when I wrote the song. The first half of the song was about the life I’d been living — traveling and starting to write songs. The second half of the song is about the life I was dreaming of having. When I wrote the song, I didn’t have any kids. Now I have the kids. When I wrote the songs, I didn’t have a wife. I got the wife. And when I wrote the song, we hadn’t traveled all the way around the world.
