I am a huge A Ha fan, from way back, and was excited about their latest, and ninth album release. This album has the traditional sounds that fans love with a new spin to keep it current for new fans to enjoy. A Ha is a Norwegian band with an incredible sound, that gets better with each album they release.

The band A-Ha is created of three musical geniuses. Morten Harket, who is the lead vocalist, guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy and of course keyboardist Magne Furuholmen and was originally formed in 1982 when they left Norway to relocate and take the music industry by storm in London . The name, quite honestly as unique as the sound of this band was actually a name that they were going to give to one of their first songs, and it means in several languages the affirmative or a positive connotation. The band agreed on the name being that it was simple, unique and easy to say.

The title of their latest album is Foot of the Mountain, is a new release that has just hit the stores in much of the world, outside the US that is. Already the title track is getting notable attention in the UK and around the world. It is running up the charts, and perhaps that is because it has that synth pop sound that made the band famous in the first place. They are once again reverting back to those original sounds that gained them so much notoriety in the 80s. They haven’t had a single to this well on the UK charts since, Take on Me in 1985, so this may just be their big re-entry onto the top 40 scene.

With so many bands making the mistake of trying to reinvent themselves, it is refreshing that they instead took a step back and gave us today’s music with a little bit of the past intertwined. This works since today’s top 40 listeners are different from those of the 1980’s, therefore they made the sound enjoyable for both generations of listeners.

So, if you can, don’t miss out on the opportunity to purchase this incredible album. All the songs were written by Paul and Magne, some together and some individually, and are a mix of the old A-Ha sound and a connection to their homeland. It truly is a wonderful collection of songs, and they all deserve the worldwide attention that they are receiving.
