Press Info:
After the impressive response to their lockdown love song All Alone Mark Reeder and Alanas Chosnau follow up with their second outtake, the title track from their album, Children of Nature.

This song highlights the challenges the coming generations will face in the not too distant future. It warns of ruthless, totalitarian regimes, Police brutality, climate change and the possibility of a dystopian future, if we don’t react now. The cover of both the album, and single shows the accusational look of a post nuclear child. Is that the future we want to leave to the next generation?

Alanas was born to a Lithuanian mother and Iraqi-Kurdish father and grew up in Baghdad. He returned to Lithuania in the 80s to be raised by his grandparents. He grew up in the Soviet Union, but thankfully, the fall of communism saved him from a life in the factories and he became the singer of what would become the most successful Lithuanian pop group of the 90s, Naktinės Personos, after which, he embarked upon a solo career in 2001. Alanas meanwhile has achieved huge popularity and has become the most successful artist in Lithuania.

Mark Reeder first met Alanas at a film festival, and they decided to work together. Over the past few months, Mark and Alanas have crafted together an album of retro-modern sounding love songs, which almost feel prophetic when the current Coronacrisis is considered.

“We had no idea what was to come, but it seems we touched on a frequency from the future and the song appears to have been derived from a deep, inner-feeling we both had at the time” said Alanas.

Children of Nature, a song dedicated to all Children of Nature, everywhere.

Children of Nature was produced by Mark Reeder and Micha Adam in Berlin, and is released on MFS. It is digitally distributed Worldwide by Believe Digital and is available on all digital and streaming platforms.
