Exclusive: Madcon "anxious" over new single

Madcon have revealed that they are "anxious" about releasing their new single in the UK.

The Norwegian duo, who scored a top five hit in 2008 with 'Beggin'', admitted that despite their success across Europe they are keen to gain recognition in the UK with their latest release 'Outrun The Sun'.

Asked if they are nervous about putting out the song, Tshawe Baqwa told Digital Spy: "Not nervous, more anxious. We want to promote and get ourselves known over here as much as we are in other countries.

"Obviously there are no guarantees, but it's always good to think positively. This is our first time in the UK since 'Beggin'', but this time we plan to promote harder."

Describing the track, he explained: "It's very energetic, It's the kind of song you shouldn't sit still to. In fact, the whole album is very party-orientated. From track one it's the type of music that you should be dancing to - it's not a love album!"

'Outrun The Sun' is available to download now. Their album Contraband follows on May 2.
