Four years after the release of his last internationally platinum and gold-certified hit album, Michael Patrick Kelly is ushering in a new era with his sixth studio album, “TRACES.” He returns to a lifelong theme that has been the main focus of many of his greatest songs: humanity. The album title is highly symbolic, as Michael Patrick Kelly himself has left an enormous mark on European music history.
With his last album alone, he achieved five consecutive Top 5 radio hits, 400+ million streams, and played live concerts in front of more than 500,000 fans.
The artist with a flair for profound lyrics in groundbreaking songs that inspire without being dreamy, that pull you forward because they are based on real stories – this is a skill that has kept expectations high for every musical comeback of the charismatic singer-songwriter for decades.
On the day Michael Patrick's father Dan Kelly died, he wore a T-shirt with the words: “Many people come into your life, but only a few leave their mark!” “After that, I asked myself what marks others have left on my life, and what marks I would like to leave on the lives of others,” says Michael Patrick Kelly. He develops some of the answers in his new songs.
