ronnie atkins new solo lp Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the upcoming release of ‘One Shot’, a solo album by Danish vocalist Ronnie Atkins, who has fronted the much loved and respected Hard Rock act Pretty Maids since their inception in 1981. It will be released on 12th March 2021 via Frontiers.

”I initially had no intention to make a solo record, but for various reasons and in particular my own personal health situation, I finally decided to have a crack at it” explains the singer before adding “Around Easter 2020 and only a few weeks after being told that everything seemingly looked very positive for my health, I was unfortunately diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and told it was incurable, which was devastating news for me. Needless to say, that was a total game changer and I went into a kind of panic situation for a while! But, one the dust had settled, I realised there were two ways to approach the situation. I could sit down, accept the facts and feel pity for myself, or I could pull myself up, set some goals, pursue my dreams and carry on living! With fantastic back up from my family and friends, I went for the latter!.”

While the creation of ‘One Shot’ is bittersweet for a variety of reasons, it is nonetheless a wonderful melodic Hard Rock offering from a master of the genre.
