MY REFLECTION released their new single THIS WORLD BELONGS TO US out digitally on April 11th. The single includes songs «This World Belongs To Us (Tonight)» and «Walk». The release was done in cooperation with Inverse Records.

The track THIS WORLD BELONGS TO US (TONIGHT) was released with a music video. “We felt that we have a killer song in our hands and it was natural to make a video for the song”, said Jenni Räikkönen, vocalist of My Reflection. “For us MR is about having fun and both song and video express that pretty well. «Walk», for its part, is a song about longing for good moments in the past.”

THIS WORLD BELONGS TO US differs from the debut album DREAMLAND DROWNING (2012). “We don’t want to over categorize ourselves, it only constrains the creativity. We like musical travelling and these were to paths we decided to take”, Jenni explained. “We want to push our limits and develop ourselves constantly”, Jenni says. “As a perfectionist, I’ve been building my walls half of my life and for me this also about me breaking free.”
