Apple Valley Man Releases First Music Album

Mark Dahlen, a 1997 Apple Valley High School graduate, released his album,"Return to Love," on June 18, according to a report.

APPLE VALLEY, MN — An Apple Valley High School graduate recently released his first album after more than two decades helping other artists create theirs. Mark Dahlen released his album,“Return to Love,” on June 18 under the project We Are Vibrational Beings.

Dahlen, who was born in Fargo, N.D., but spent a majority of his childhood in Apple Valley, said the record — which features 13 tracks for a total of 61 minutes of music — is “what I think is needed in humanity is a shift in consciousness,” according to Sun Thisweek.

“It’s a statement of inclusion,” he said. “The record is about how do we shift into that state of consciousness where we experience ourselves as more of the world. It’s much easier to care about the world when we feel it’s a part of us.”
