I Feed You My Love is written by Karin Park, Robin Lynch and Niklas Olovson.

Watch the promo video at Macho Records Youtube channel.

Several remixes have been released.
A 3-track remix pack is out through Amazon digital. The Jay Hardway mix is out through iTunes. Don't know if these are exclusive to these sellers yet, we'll keep you posted. The Volume One subtitle suggests that there is more to come.
The remixes also seem available through some streaming thingy's, but you'll have to find that out for yourself.

Two further versions: the extended version and Macho Collective remix are also available at iTunes and Wimp.
All are out through Macho Records.

After some patchy digital releases a new official digital release combines six versions of the song plus two videos. Out on May 10 at Amazon and itunes.
Universal Germany also mentions a cdsingle to be released on May 10, but I haven't seen any confirmation yet.

Another mix, the Super8 remix, can be heard through Macho Records youtube.

New digital release has:
I Feed You My Love - original version
I Feed You My Love - Macho Collective remix
I Feed You My Love - Robin Low remix Two*
I Feed You My Love - Jay Hardway remix
I Feed You My Love - Dan Miles and Di Ferro remix Two*
I Feed You My Love - Torus Flow Remix
+ video of National final

* I don't know why the Robin Low and Dan Miles/Di Ferro remixes are called remix Two. It seems the running times are the same as the first released versions of these remixes. More as soon as I know....

MGP 2013
NRK selected the entry for Malmö in the 4-week Melodi Grand Prix. Three weeks with seven songs each with the top three going through to the final.

Each heats' songs became available through Norwegian iTunes a few days before the heat took place.
NRK pages also have links to listen to the songs through sources which you have to register for (Spotify, Wimp or iTunes, blegh...)

It turns out there will be a CD after all (after announcement that it wasn't) . The album is released on Februari 1 on a new record label: DaWorks (DACD649).
