Tim Schou releases new single “Altar” and seals a deal with BMG

Recorded in a Russian sauna and consolidated by a deal with BMG: “ALTAR”, the new single from Danish artist Tim Schou is out on January 19.

The Danish singer, songwriter and solo artist Tim Schou is renowned to be a modern vagabond, travelling 250 days a year and couch surfing his way through an incredibly productive musical career, with more than 200 titles in his catalogue. Now, we can taste the fruits of his endeavors with the new single and video “Altar” hitting the streets.

“Altar was actually conceived and tracked in a Russian sauna” explains Tim, who is in the habit of using his journeys as inspiration for his song writing. “Four German producers, a Canadian songwriter and myself were all gathered, drinking and talking about sex and religion... I like to use these random experiences that seems so mundane on the surface, but really gives life its spice and depth.”

The danceable pop tune is produced by the successful German producer team Hitimpulse (Kygo, Ellie Goulding, Alma, Felix Jaehn, Craig David). Hitimpulse also produced Tim Schou’s debut single “Novocaine” that won him three international prizes last year: Best Male Artist and Overall Grand Prize at the 13th annual IAMA (International Acoustic Music Awards) and Best Pop Song at Akademia Music Awards 2017.
