Synth-pop sensation a-ha from Oslo, Norway formed in 1982 by Morten Harket (vocals), Magne Furuholmen (keys) and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (guitar) became a global success with the smash hit single “Take On Me”.

Long before the major success that was “Take on Me” the trio formed in Oslo, Norway in 1982 and later moved to London, England to take their career to new heights. It was there they sourced their name taking inspiration from a typical English exclamation. It was also around this time that the trio were introduced to their future manager John Ratcliff.

In 1985 a-ha released their debut album “Hunting High and Low” which officially put them on the map and catapulted into international stardom. Peaking at number one in the Norwegian charts and number two in the UK, the album featured the tracks “Torn”, “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.” and of course the smash hit single “Take On Me”. You’ll hear renditions of the popular track all over the world, whether it’s in karaoke bars or covered by artists such as a1, Tori Amos and ska-punk band Reel Big Fish. The success of the album earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best New Band. The following year the album was also named the best-selling album of the year.

a-ha were invited to play at the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony held in Oslo performing alongside Shania Twain, Elton John and Enrique Iglesias. At the end of “Foot of the Mountain” tour cycle, in 2010 the band announced that they would be calling it a day.

To mark 30 years of band history, in 2015 a-ha reunited to perform at Rock in Rio festival held in Brazil. In that remarkable length of time, the band have managed to amass a sale of over 80 million records worldwide, released nine studio albums, and inspired a multitude of bands such as Coldplay and Keane while remaining in the top list of highest grossing musicians in the world.

Live reviews

So, A-ha return after a five year "farewell" to promote a new album, "Cast In Steel". Well, promote it, I'm not sure, since they played only two songs from it (compared with nine from the first two albums!). A real shame that, as the two they played, the title track and "Under the Makeup" were excellent.

That was one of a few gripes, the second being the lack of songs from later albums, notably Analogue and Memorial Beach, where "Celice" and "Dark is the Night" were omissions. Including those, and a couple more from the latest album would have addressed my third complaint, that the show was criminally short, at 1:45 mins. my final bugbear was one that I have with a lot of bands, that they save all of their 'big' songs for the encores - just wish they would spread them around, and leave the encores as they should be, for bonus songs.

Anyway, that aside, it was a great set, with all (except the two above) key songs represented, most notably in the three song mini-set, where Morten left the stage, for his place on vocals to be taken, in turn, by Pal, Magne and the support act/background vocalist Anni, on three fabulous numbers: "Velvet", "Lifelines" and "Here I Stand and Face The Rain." Then there were the classics, "Hunting High and Low" was awesome as always, as was "Take on Me" to close the encores.

A great show, and it's great to have them back. Hope it won't be long until the next gig.

Norwegian new-wave/synth pop outfit A-Ha were a staple addition to the European airwaves throughout the 1980s having scored numerous hit singles. Despite having disbanded and reunited many times, the group is well and truly back in the musical zone and are planning to release a new album towards the end of 2015. The current setlist though is all about the pop classics of their heyday and it is these vintage gems that keeps fans old and new continuing to attend the tours in high numbers.

The fact the original trio remains in tact helps with the fantastic showmanship they attain as they not only have a natural rapport with each other, but they also convey this rapport to the crowds for are so enthusiastic throughout the show. This is mainly due to the pace never dropping off as the gig is constantly propped up by the appearance of mega hits such as 'The Sun Always Shines on T.V.' and 'Cry Wolf'. These sound as shimmering and shining as ever, yet it is perhaps the encore of 'Take On Me' that receives the largest singalong of the evening. From the deafening final applause, it is no wonder the group have reformed so many times.

I’ve always been a fan of A-Ha. Being an 80s child I listened to them growing up and well into the 1990s. I admit I still listened to them even after most had moved on. Their eclectic music beats and lyrics makes giving them up hard to do. They’re just an 80s band that keeps coming back and back.

Anyway, I saw them live back in 2009. It was my first time too. So after listening to them for nearly 20 years, I finally got to see them alive. Was I disappointed? Not at all! They were flipping amazing.

Their stage setup was quintessentially 1980s but with a modern flair There were no outlandish costumes, but just a fun business casual look. The crowd was cheering in delight and some older members of the crowd had taken out their lighters and stared swinging them side to side. Just like they do in movies. The experience made me feel amazing and it was an auditory experience I’ll never forget in my life.

There are few 1980s bands I’ll bother watching live, but A-Ha is one I’ll buy another ticket for if they’re ever playing live close by. There’s no way I would give up a chance to listen to them again.

When you mention a Norwegian born band that formed in 1982 and that specialise in synth pop, you would probably be at a loose end to conjure up an accompanying name. But then you recall the song ‘Take on me’ and it all begins to ring a bell. I give you… a-ha. The musical trio from Oslo. With over 80 million albums sold worldwide, and having inspired such bands as Coldplay and Keane, the band is one of the most commercially successful bands in the world. They have produced an incredible nine studio albums and have even performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony in 1998, alongside such global superstars as Elton John and Shania Twain. The band have reassembled after their split to tour once more and you would be a fool to deny yourself this one chance to see the band reformed in all their former glory. The band performs all their greatest 80s and 90s hits for the crowd, allowing everyone to sing along to each beloved classic. 'The Sun Always Shines on T.V.' and 'Cry Wolf’ take precedence but it is, of course, ‘Take on me’ that ends the night on a climactic high.

The show was excellent. The boys have definitely not lost their touch. Morten´svoice is still young and able to hit the high notes. A good mic of the old hits and some (not very) new material. The arrangements were mostly new and some songs were just unbelievable. As always, the show ended with "Take on me" - this time in an acoustic version with only the 3 guys. Excellent.

The O2 arena is, in my opinion, very good for this kind of music. We were in section 108 so rather far from the stage but with the good acoustics and some help from the screen, it was just great.

What was not so good (and this hurts to say) was the audience around us. 1,5 hours after the show should have started, loads of people with loads of beer were still pouring in. During the show, many seemingly ignored the music, had loud conversations during the show and went in and out for more beer. Very disturbing for us who went there to listen to music. Manners?

I was a little disappointed with A Ha. I didn't feel much energy coming from the stage. The music was great. At one stage Mags commented about the audience being a little flat. But the energy of a gig comes from the stage, feeds the audience, which feeds back to the stage. So it could have been better.

I was not impressed with the venue at all. My wife is in a wheelchair. We were stuck at the side and could only see half the screens at the back of the stage. The downstairs gents toilet had one of only 2 cubicles blocked. One other 2 disabled toilets was blocked. And the bar was rubbish. Poor choice. Poor service. We were at Royal Concert Hall the previous night. A full bar with slick service. Get your act together Armadillo. The audience deserves better.

This was the first time ever I saw A-ha! I grew up with the music because my mom is a big fan of them.

Also, this was the first time I went to HMH (Heineken Music Hall). Most of the time I go to 'metal' concerts and most of the time they preform in 013 Tilburg. So I was pretty excited to go HMH.

I'm disabled and need to sit in a wheelchair, I was really shocked there was no office box or something else. I had to 'stand' in the regular line. People were pushing me and I didn't feel safe.

The show was great and I was shocked Mortan could still sing the high notes! I got goose bumps when they played Hunting high and low!

I had a great time and made my mom very happy with the tickets!

A great evening, eventually, with a well thought out selection of songs from a-ha's 30yr back catalogue along with a good light show. The evening was almost spoilt by Morten seemingly having serious issues with his earpiece which made him appear serious and grumpy for the first half a dozen or so songs. He then explained that due to travel issues from Glasgow the band were unable to soundcheck and so were doing it as they went along. The second half of the concert was far better once he had engaged with the audience. A final encore including The Sun Always Shines on TV, Living Daylights and Take on Me rounded of a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Absolutely splendid evening.

It was a shaky start with Morten's microphone not working, but it soon improved. All their biggest hits plus a demo version of Train of Thought that was very interesting. The guys still have it...and are looking great.

Highlights were Sun always Shines on TV, I've Been Losing You and Analogue, which they do not sing often enough. I think this was the 13th time I have seen the band, the frst being in 1985, and they certainly did not disappoint.

ursula-carey’s profile image

Amazing! Morten's vocals and the sound was excellent. Would definitely see A-ha again as they are absolutely brilliant live. Played all the classics and some newer tunes too. Would loved to hear more from their Minor Earth, Major Sky or Lifelines albums but ran out of time...too many great songs to fit into one gig!

A nice intimate venue with great acoustics, the Oslo Spektrum was convenient to get to with decent facilities.

The first part of a new Fan Q&A with Paul was posted on a-ha.com this week.

In it, he reveals that Savoy’s Under will be getting a CD release next month. Originally the album was only released physically on vinyl, but many fans have requested it on CD as well.

The CD can now be pre-ordered from edda.tigernet.no , with a March 15th release date.

Paul also shared exciting plans for the Savoy back-catalogue: “With SAVOY we have remastered the back-catalogue of albums yet to be digitally released which we’ll get to after ‘Under’. Vinyl & CD could happen too. We’ll also be going back to the master tapes for hi-res versions of all our videos and documentaries so they can be added to our YouTube Savoy channel.”

There is work being done on the a-ha back-catalogue as well: “a-ha are in the process of making sure all the albums are available on all the platforms in extended deluxe versions, and I’m sure there will be vinyl/CD’s available at times too.”

And he says his Waaktaar solo album will finally be released later this year: “At this point it can venture off in different directions but I’m pretty happy with the material.”

Read the whole Fan Q&A on a-ha.com

There is also a new interview with Paul on the Norwegian music site Popklikk .

Paul and Lauren on BBC radio

a ha tour canada

On stage with Savoy

Paul and Lauren were interviewed by Richard Green on BBC Radio Devon on Saturday, February 10th. The whole 14-minute interview is available at bbc.co.uk .

Lauren on the reception the album is getting: “[We’re] super proud and very excited. It’s such a good feeling when you work so hard – just the two of us, working away – that when it goes out there, some people do recognize it and like it.”

Paul on possible Savoy concerts: “We’d love to, it would really be nice. Lauren is the only one I know that hasn’t had Covid yet, so she’s very careful and that might present some challenge to travel around a lot. But we would absolutely love to play live, so we’re looking into it.”

Paul was also asked if there is any possibility of a-ha getting together again: “[True North] was a strange period, because we were in the middle of the Hunting High and Low Tour – and that got postponed so many times – so we never got around to actually touring the True North album. We sort of ran out of time.

And with a-ha, we’ve always done things in an ebb and flow sort of style. We do one thing, then we retract and then we come back and do something else. There’s always things being discussed. I think our fans know us. We come back when we feel “OK, now we’re gonna do something”. It could definitely happen.”

Paul was also interviewed on the radio show Kveldsåpent on NRK P1 earlier this week, but the audio is unfortunately not available online . Update (21/2): The interview is now available.

And although Under is the first Savoy album that has failed to enter the official Norwegian Top 40 album chart, it continues to garner positive feedback from fans and critics.

Puls ‘ reviewer describes the album as really excellent pop/rock, and that “Coming Down” sounds like something Paul McCartney would wish he’d written. He also praises Waaktaar’s ability to come up with “quirky chord progressions” in his songs: “The ones that turn up unexpectedly, outside the box – but still slide into the ear canal like cream on strawberries. Listen to the opening track “Lonely Surfer”, and I’m sure you’ll understand what I mean”.

Popklikk gives special mention to the album’s production and vocal deliveries: “The music has been placed inside a modern and meticulously crafted production, where a vital and playful soundscape adds a fine mixture of pleasure and energy to the songs. A production that has room for both string arrangements and electronic equipment. One of the best things about ‘Under’ is how the couple Paul and Lauren sing so beautifully throughout the album, both individually and together. While the frequent backing vocals add freshness to the music and acts like a melodic supplement.”

Norway Rock ‘s album review (in English) is more lukewarm, but does highlight the production and other high-quality elements: “The title track has an excellent Bowie-esque chorus (and there are echoes of his work and sound throughout, along with Beatles and Beck), “Life and Times of a Wannabe” has some first-rate guitar work on it, edgy riffs and some good textures. Likewise, “Coming Down”, which also exemplifies Frode Unneland’s drumming on the record, which is generally prominent in the mix, and with good reason, as it carries the record along well.”

Frode: “We are very satisfied with the album”

a ha tour canada

Frode Unneland

Savoy drummer Frode Unneland was the main guest on the Norwegian radio show Stjernepose on NRK P13 this week, to talk about the new Savoy album Under .

Below are some translated quotes from the conversation.

On the album: “We are very satisfied with it. It was an easy recording process and it’s a very structured and cohesive album. To us there’s a common thread throughout the concept that is ‘Under’. Paul has said that many of the songs were written during Covid lockdowns. His lyrics are personal, but I can relate to the loneliness that he describes. Walking down empty streets and so on.”

Starting the recording process: “a-ha had finished their [2022] tour and Paul was staying for a week in Oslo, alone in their house. He called me up and asked if I wanted to come over, drink some wine and listen to some new songs he’d made.

When I entered his home studio he had put up a large sheet of paper with 13 songs on it, and we just started at the top of the list. He had already recorded some rough demos that I played along to, and then I was able to add my own drumming style to that. It was really fun to play on this album, because things started to gel really fast. We did all the songs in around three days.”

Old and new: “On this album there’s one song that we’ve recorded a few times before, but never made the cut because we weren’t quite happy with it. But this time we suddenly figured it out. But Paul is constantly writing new material, and sometimes he’s amassed a lot of songs that he needs to release – or at least record.”

Across the Atlantic: “So we did the initial recordings very quickly, but then he went home to the US and continued working from there. He’s in California, I’m in Norway, but he’ll send me video clips from the studio of things he’s working on, like a new keyboard part or guitar part. And he’s eager to get my feedback.”

Recording his own vocals: “All my own vocal tracks were recorded in the bedroom of our house [in Bergen], and that worked really well. It’s the first time that I’ve recorded something without Paul being present. But I don’t know much about using computers to record things, so I enlisted the help of my youngest son Filip. So on the cover it says “engineered by Filip Unneland” and that’s really cool. And Paul really loved how it sounded, so he gifted him a black Ludwig drum kit and lots of compressors and microphones.”

Why Savoy rarely play live: “The [2018] concert [in Oslo] was incredibly fun. After the show everyone were like “we need to do this again!”. But then another a-ha tour got in the way. That’s what happens. (…) There’s also the challenge of hiring new backing musicians and rehearsing extensively – yet again. Although Paul knows that I’d do it in a heartbeat. But we do get lots of offers to play live, here and there. Paul’s latest suggestion was that perhaps I could put together a Savoy cover band, that would have been much easier! [laughs]”

New Savoy album Under out now

a ha tour canada

This is the Transparent Orange version of the vinyl. Transparent Lime and Black are also available.

Savoy’s seventh studio album Under is released on their own label Eleventeen Records today. Available now digitally on streaming , or physically on vinyl . It doesn’t seem like there will be a CD version this time.

The 10-track album has been produced and arranged by Savoy, mixed by Simon Vinestock and mastered by Joe Lambert. It features contributions from familiar names such as Hågen Rørmark, Per Hillestad, Joe Mardin and True August. Frode Unneland’s son Filip is credited as one of the engineers.

The music video for latest single “Coming Down” has also premiered today and can be seen on YouTube . Directed by Jason Brandenberg.

The newspaper Dagsavisen gives the album 5/6 in its review (paywall), highlighting the title track: ” “Under” is a guitar-driven song where the chorus sounds like something David Bowie could have made after his late comeback, a melancholic pop song kept in a psychedelic drive and with large contrasts in both the vocals and arrangements. This is Savoy at their most experimental, but also at their most accessible. Some of the same Bowie-esque way of singing can be heard in “Lonesome Alone”, while the production on the album consistently builds intricate layers of atmosphere, sounds and nice details, especially in the guitar playing and some of the string arrangements.”

Dagsavisen’s reviewer also mentions “Camden Palace Chronicles” as another highlight on the album, calling it “a pop-aesthetic jewel of a song, with beautiful vocals from Lauren” . He concludes that “Under is more proof that some of the best and most ambitious music Paul Waaktaar-Savoy has written (with Lauren), he’s kept for himself and for Savoy”.

Another positive review of Under comes from Dagens Næringsliv (paywall): “Their seventh studio album Under sounds quite inspired. This is their best album in a long time, featuring ten well-written quality songs. (…) It’s a consistent record, but check out songs like “Digital River” and “Pure as Driven Snow” as examples of excellent, mature pop.”

Two-page interview with Lauren and Paul in Klassekampen, 2 February.

Meanwhile, Klassekampen has interviewed Paul and Lauren across two pages in today’s paper issue (paywall).

“The move [to LA] has given us new impulses and influenced the finished result quite a lot” , Paul says of the new album.

“We have also found inspiration from musicians who have worked here, like the Laurel Canyon-scene in the 1960s and 70s” , Lauren adds. “A song like “Station” is somewhat inspired by The Mamas & the Papas, with its layered vocals”.

They both mention Frode as being a very important part of the band: “Frode spreads a lot of good energy around. His vocal parts are also an integral part of our sound, as on the new song “Pure as Driven Snow”” , Paul says.

They refer to each song on Under as its own journey and what Paul calls pieces of the big puzzle: “At the same time we’re chasing that feeling of goosebumps. Most of the songs have been through many versions, and in the end you just have to trust your gut feeling” .

“With this trio of ours we don’t have to think about ticket sales, endless touring and all that. In Savoy we’re doing this out of love for the music and because we want to create something we’re proud of” , Paul says.

New Savoy single “Coming Down”

a ha tour canada

Single cover (photo by Paul)

“Coming Down” is the fourth single off Savoy’s upcoming album Under , and is released today. The song is available on Spotify , Apple Music etc, and has also been posted on YouTube . A music video is on the way, according to Paul .

VG has reviewed “Coming Down”, giving it 4/6: “Even 28 years into their career, it’s fair to describe the collaboration between the married couple Waaktaar-Savoy and Bergen drum genius Frode Unneland as a “con amore” project. As with any labour of love, [Savoy] just keep getting better and better as the years go by. “Coming Down” is a soft reflection about places you’ve been and places where others are. A simple tune, really. But then Paul Waaktaar-Savoy sings so softly and beautifully that you just have to adore it.”

Review: a-ha live at the Royal Albert Hall

By Paul Sinclair

a ha tour canada

In 2006 a-ha played in a back lot of London’s ExCel centre as part of the British International Motor Show. I was there, and while the band were excellent (they are rarely less than that), as fans congregated in this rather grim, tarmac setting, it was apparent that the show wasn’t a sell out and there was a good third of the capacity free. They may have been enjoying a mini-revival at that time – thanks to the UK top ten hit ‘Analogue’ (the title track from their 2005 album) – but the appeal of seeing a-ha play live didn’t stretch much beyond the diehard fans, it seemed. Thirteen years, one split, a farewell tour and a new album later… and the band are riding the crest of a wave powered by the evergreen appeal of pop classic ‘Take On Me’, which apparently averages 480,000 views on YouTube PER DAY! The song, with its groundbreaking video, is truly iconic and the reach of streaming has reactivated engagement levels enormously –  the world is in love with a-ha again, a bit like back in 1985 when they topped the charts both sides of the Atlantic.

To underline this fact, a-ha filled the O2 Arena a couple of years back with their ‘intimate’ MTV Unplugged tour and last night entertained a capacity crowd at London’s Royal Albert Hall, with a concert performance that kicked off with their debut album Hunting High and Low played in full (in order) and then continued with a further selection of hits (and the odd deep cut). When I interview Paul Waaktaar-Savoy a year ago , and asked him about the plans for the then newly announced Hunting High and Low tour, he said “I’m really hoping to do stuff we haven’t done before” and spoke of a desire to have “some new songs” in the show. More on that later, but first off let’s talk about the idea of playing a whole album in full, on stage.

There are pros and cons in this concept. It’s certainly a rare opportunity to hear album cuts that the artist might otherwise be unlikely to play, but the problem is that this includes the duffers as well as exquisite deep cuts. It’s a bit like buying those big multi-packs of crisps, there’s always going to be the audio equivalent of prawn cocktail. Choosing to play the album in order also removes a level of spontaneity from the event; you know what is coming next and that is quite significant. I actually found myself mentally checking off the songs, as we went through the album. A live event is not supposed to be a box-ticking exercise.

In some ways, you could say that the artist relinquishes control. They step on to a conveyor belt that starts with the album’s opening number and hop off until the last track is done and dusted. Speaking of control, it also denies the act the ability to create a proper ebb and flow to the concert – and audio ‘narrative’’, if you will. You are locked into a running order that was decided – in the case of HHAL – over three decades ago and while Paul Waaktaar-Savoy has said that he quite likes getting ‘Take On Me’ out of the way, early on, I do think it simply works better as an encore, when people have been looking forward to hearing it for 90 minutes.

Ultimately, the playing-an-album-in-full idea, is really pure marketing –  it’s what differentiates your new tour from the last. a-ha and their management clearly understand this and so last time we had an-intimate-acoustic-evening-with-a-ha, and this time it’s Hunting High and Low played in full. Clever acts have a concept to stir the interest and give people a reason to come back. From the artist perspective, whatever compromises this may entail are for the greater good.

The band opened with Take On Me (click image to enlarge)

So onto the show. The projections behind the band were stunning. The impressive mix of original video elements (‘Take On Me’), abstract visuals and film of eco-style landscapes (forest, seas, planets and the like) were all seamlessly blended with live coverage of the band on stage. Everything was pin-sharp and projected onto an absolutely enormous screen and it really worked a treat. A-ha arguably need this kind of lift, because none of them could be accused of being natural showmen, and only keyboard player Magne engaged with the crowd with any kind of ease and regularity (doing so with his usual wit and charm). As always, Paul remained studiously devoted to his guitar duties, and while Morten sung beautifully all evening, it has to be said that the guy has more ‘ticks’ than Nadal preparing for a serve, constantly fiddling with his ear-piece, making silent signals to the sound desk (presumably to adjust his ‘mix’ in his ear monitor) and occasionally looking like he’d lost where he was in the song. But that’s just Morten for you.

Before this tour, the band had actually already played Hunting High and Low in full – just twice – back in 2010, although both of these gigs (one at the RAH, incidentally) were with a full orchestra. So this tour is the first time they’re playing it in a ‘just the band’ setting.

The album sounded more or less as you’d expect live, save for a rearrangement of ‘Dream Myself Alive’ which reverted the song back to an form not dissimilar to the original demo (found on the super deluxe of the album). ‘The Sun Always Shines On TV’ (the song that outperformed ’Take On Me’ in the UK charts, let’s not forget) was as dramatic and amazing as ever, ‘Living A Boy’s Adventure Tale’ still sounds like it’s belongs in a Broadway Musical and of course ‘Take On Me’ was a stunning opener, where the projections fused video and live performance perfectly. ‘Love is Reason’ is still the weak link (prawn cocktail flavoured) and there’s no way it should be played ahead of classics like ‘Manhattan Skyline’ or ‘Cry Wolf’ but they promised to play the album in full and that’s what you get. I’d like also to give a shout out for ‘Here I Stand And Face The Rain’. I really love this song and the line “let’s stay friends forever” never fails to transports me back to my teens, and the days of discussing an unknown future with friends – life’s compromises and harsh realities somewhere far in the distance.

After a short interval, we were back for part two and because I’d made a point of avoiding reading reviews or checking out set-lists online, this was all going to be a complete surprise to me.

The ten-song selection that took us to the end of the concert was reasonably balanced between hits and deep cuts, but closer inspection reveals a massive bias towards the material from the 1980s. They only played two tracks (‘Foot of the Mountain’ and ‘Analogue’) from their last six albums, including nothing from 2015’s reunion record Cast In Steel , zip from recently reissued Minor Earth Major Sky (2000) and Lifelines (2002) and nada from the dark and dusty Memorial Beach (1993). I guess the thinking was if you are going to get people through the door with the promise of Hunting High and Low don’t be a party pooper and alienate them with a load of obscurities in the second half.

We did get to enjoy the two outstanding album tracks from Scoundrel Days (the title track and ‘The Swing of Things’) in addition to a fabulous sounding ‘I’ve Been Losing You’. ‘Stay On These Roads’ was truly beautiful and remains one of the best songs in their canon, while the biggest surprise – ‘Sycamore Leaves’ from 1990’s East of the Sun West Of The Moon – was a wonderful dip into prog-noir and was a great opportunity to observe Magne getting into the groove with some Ray Manzarek-style organ playing.

There was only one new song in the end, called ‘Digital River’. I’m not sure a world exists where a song with that title is any good, and indeed, it was a disappointingly bland and forgettable mid-paced number, with a frankly horrible chorus lyric/melody. This is apparently a ‘Cast in Steel’ outtake, but why not play the brilliant windswept ballad ‘Under The Makeup’ from that album, instead? It’s still relatively unknown, but unlike ‘Digital River’ it sounds like a lost classic.

The evening ended with the fanfare of Bond theme ‘The Living Daylights’ and the crowd were rapturous. Morten delighted some of the female contingent at the front of the auditorium by shaking hands and showing off his cheekbones.

I had throughly enjoyed the show but couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed at how it was aimed squarely at the casual fan more than the diehard. I’ve given up going to see Duran Duran because there’s only so many times you want to see a band play ‘the hits’ and with the Hunting High and Low  tour having new dates stretching to the end of next year, it will be a while before the next ‘concept’ for an a-ha concert comes along.

On the way home, I came to the conclusion that being a band like a-ha in this day and age requires a two-pronged campaign, to keep everybody happy. This means regular arena tours designed for wide appeal and expanded physical album reissues – with demos and rarities – for the diehard students of a-ha. If both of those things keep happening then we can all stay friends, forever.

Paul Sinclair watched a-ha play the Royal Albert Hall on 5 November 2019. The tour continues –   check the website for further dates . The newly repackaged ‘Hunting High and Low’ super deluxe edition is released next week.

Kid Cudi Cancels Insano World Tour After Breaking Foot: ‘The Injury Is Much More Serious Than I Thought’

Cudder was slated to hit the road in june on a tour that included three big canadian dates..

Kid Cudi performs onstage during Weekend 2 - Day 3 of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 21, 2024 in Indio, Calif.

Kid Cudi performs onstage during Weekend 2 - Day 3 of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 21, 2024 in Indio, Calif.

Kid Cudi is canceling his upcoming Insano World Tour {which included stops in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal ) due to an injury suffered while performing at Coachella over the weekend.

Cudi relayed the news to his fans in a heartfelt note on Wednesday (April 24), in which he revealed that he actually broke his calcaneus — the bone that forms at the heel — in the stage fall.

“Guys, so, I have a broken calcaneus. I’m headed to surgery now and there’s gonna be a long recovery time. We have to cancel the tour so I can focus on getting back out there in top shape to rage with you all,” Cudi wrote to X and Instagram. “There’s just no way I can bounce back in time to give 100%. The injury is much more serious than I thought. Anyone who bought tickets will get a full refund, you’ll get an email soon.”

The 43-date trek with Pusha T, Earthgang, Jaden Smith, Chelsea Pastel and Siena Bella as supporting guests was slated to launch on June 28 with a show at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.

However, Cudi is planning on getting back on stage when healthy, and he’ll be making it up to fans with another tour coming down the road.

“We will be back with new tour dates as soon as possible, and I can’t wait to get back out there with you guys and turn up how we do,” he continued. “I’m so sorry fam and I love you all so much, thanks for the endless love and support. I’m really disappointed as I’m sure you guys are too, but I will be back. That’s a promise I’m ok, just a lil soreness, but I’m in good spirits.”

Mr. Solo Dolo returned to Coachella for the first time since 2019 on Sunday (April 21) as a special guest added for Weekend Two, but his stay was short-lived when he broke his foot while hopping down from the stage to get close to fans during a performance of “Memories.”

Cudi was carried off and received medical attention.

“Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show [forehead smack emoji]. just leavin the hospital,” he wrote after sustaining the injury. “Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy. I wanna thank u all for ur concerns and well wishes!! I love yall man. I heard yall still ragin when I was offstage. Made me smile big.”

Chance The Rapper

The Chicago rapper is looking to make a comeback.

Chance the Rapper is making his long-awaited comeback.

The Chicago MC has announced a new mixtape entitled Star Line inspired by his trip to Ghana and Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line — a short-lived shipping and transportation endeavor meant to transport goods, services and African-American tourists to and from Africa. Chance posted a trailer recently of him in Ghana and clips of him in various studios working on new music. The clip features fellow Save Money member Vic Mensa, as well as Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, T-Pain, Jazze Pha, Jermaine Dupri and DJ Premier, all helping him put this new era together.

Late last year, Chance announced on Instagram Live that he would be dropping an album called Star Line Gallery in the spring of 2024. There’s no word on if the Star Line mixtape will be a precursor to Gallery , but Chano has thrown snippets up on his IG, the earliest of which he posted in January 2023.

See on Instagram

Yesterday he posted an IG Reel of a song named “Buried Alive” asking if he should drop a video.

Each clip he’s shared of his new direction has featured a darker tone with black backgrounds and white subtitles. In “Buried Alive,” he mentions his former manager , his recently divorced wife , his money and the hype that once surrounding him. He seems to be addressing all the drama he’s been involved in since dropping his debut studio album The Big Day in 2019. Everything he’s teased has sounded promising.

We’re looking forward to seeing where he plans to take his new sound.

This article was originally published by Billboard U.S.

Over the course of their 30+ year career, a-ha have performed more than 600 concerts in 38 countries around the world. Millions of fans have come out to see the band in venues big and small - from a stadium of up to 197,000 people to small halls of less than 100 - and everything in between.
