Blue Night is the fifth studio album by Danish soft rock band Michael Learns to Rock (MLTR). It was released on 1 November 2000 by Medley Records (EMI).[1] The album was produced by Boe Larsen with band member Mikkel Lentz, who makes his debut as a songwriter on the song "Tell It to Your Heart". It is the first Michael Learns to Rock album since the departure of bass guitar player Søren Madsen in July 2000; however, his name is still credited on "More Than a Friend". This album was remastered by ADMS on Warner Music label in 2014 due to Michael Learns to Rock 25th anniversary celebrations.[2][3]
