Clear Violet. M2M are a Norwegian pop duo comprising Marit Larsen and Marion Raven. Larsen and Raven had been friends since the age of five and formed a music duo when they were eight. They released a children's album in 1996 when Larsen was 12 and Raven was 11, under the name "Marit & Marion". The album was nominated for a Spellemannprisen award and the band changed their name to M2M after signing a record deal with Atlantic Records in 1998. M2M were frequently praised for writing most of their songs and performing their own instruments, something which was considered to set them apart from the majority of teen pop music artists. Their debut single, "Don't Say You Love Me" (1999), was both a critical and commercial success, and remained their biggest hit. Their debut album, Shades of Purple (2000), was critically acclaimed and sold over 1. 5 million units worldwide. As M2M, their first single was "Don't Say You Love Me" after they signed to Atlantic Records in 1998. It was featured in the closing credits of the film Pokémon: The First Movie and was chosen as the lead single from the film's soundtrack, being released on 26 October 1999. Promoted by a "nonstop marketing effort", advanced airing on Radio Disney and the affiliation with Pokémon, the single experienced commercial success. [7] It charted at No. 2 in Norway and No. 4 in both Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, it was certified Gold in both Australia and America, and was nominated for the year's best song at the 2000 Spellemannprisen awards. In November 1999, M2M performed the song on the episode "Band on the Run" of TV series One World. The duo released their debut album, Shades of Purple, in early 2000. It was well received critically, and reached No. 7 in Norway, No. 89 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on Top Heatseekers chart. The second single from the album, "Mirror Mirror" (2000), was certified gold in the United States. A third single, "Everything You Do" (2000), reached No. 21 on the United States Hot Dance Singles Sales. The complete album plus bonus singles are presented here on two colored vinyl platters.
