Ronnie Atkins, vocalist of Horsens, Denmark-based hard rock / heavy metal band Pretty Maids, released five-song EP 4 More Shots (The Acoustics) through Frontiers Music Srl.
4 More Shots (The Acoustics) consists of one previously unreleased studio song, 'Carry Me Over', three acoustic versions of songs included on Ronnie Atkins' debut solo album One Shot, plus the track 'One Shot (Orchestra Version)'. The latter was previously only available as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of the album.
"Carry Me Over' was the first song I wrote after I was told my cancer had returned in March last year," said Atkins. "I had hit rock bottom mentally and emotionally and was in a hopeless, frustrating period. It's pretty obvious when you listen to the lyrics, which are melancholic but also very honest. However, when I had to decide which songs were going on my solo album, I deliberately decided to leave it off as I thought the lyrics were too sad and depressing and that's not what I wanted to signal to fans. However, I still think it's a beautiful melody!"
As to the current state of his health, Atkins added: "I'm in a different place, not diagnosis-wise, but I feel good and I guess I've somehow learned how to adapt to the situation and deal with it. Thanks to immunotherapy, a positive mindset, and, not the least of which, the almighty God, I'm still here."
