PRETTY MAIDS / RONNIE ATKINS

RONNIE ATKINS – Make It Count (2022)

Danish hard rock legend singer/songwriter RONNIE ATKINS will put out a new album via Frontiers Music, “Make It Count“, released almost one year to the day after Atkins’ last solo album, the critically acclaimed “One Shot”.
In early 2021 Ronnie Atkins released his up close and personal solo album called One Shot. The album took a more personal direction, detailing some of struggles Ronnie has faced recently with his battles with cancer and acknowledging one’s mortality. 2022 has blessed us with another personal album from Ronnie. This one is called ”Make it Count” and musically pick up right where One Shot left off.
Like the title-song ‘Make It Count’, every day counts and Atkins is trying to make the best of a serious condition. I liked ‘One Shot’ but I like ‘Make It Count’ even better.
Since the start of his rock ‘n roll journey with Pretty Maids, Ronnie Atkins has consistently gifted fans with quality melodic rock, and “Make It Count” delivers again in spades…

RONNIE ATKINS – 4 More Shots (The Acoustics) +1 (2021)

Hot on the heels of his really good new solo album “One Shot”, stellar Danish vocalist RONNIE ATKINS (Pretty Maids, Nordic Union) has announced the upcoming release of a new EP, “4 More Shots (The Acoustics)” on October 1, 2021.
The EP consists of one unreleased studio track, ‘Carry Me Over’, and four acoustic tracks. All three acoustic tracks, ‘When Dreams Are Not Enough’, ‘Picture Yourself’, and ‘Real’, have original studio versions that appear on “One Shot”, but here are presented in stripped fashion, including pianos.
With a physical CD edition limited to 500 copies worldwide, “4 More Shots (The Acoustics)” is already sold out a day before its official release.
