Description:
a-ha "True North," a-ha's first new album in seven years and first for Sony Music. a-ha's 11th new album in seven years, "True North," is the first album for a-ha's move to Sony Music. The moving new song "I'm In", which opens the album, presents a new look at a-ha as a trio of Magne, Morton, and Paul. The orchestral arrangement is by Kjetil Bjerkestrand, whose relationship with a-ha dates back to the 1994 single "Shapes That Go Together. Magne, who wrote the moving "I'm In," said of the song, "It's about a statement of total commitment and support for those in distress. True commitment is a leap of faith. But it is also about achieving something worthwhile: love, friendship, change, self-improvement, a career, a better world. Of course, this is easier said than done, but it begins with an attitude, and then with words. After this, it is all hard work to realize the potential that one's commitment brings to the world.Without this attitude, everything would just be filled with contradictory thoughts, doubts, and fears. Just say "I'm in. For the new album "True North," a-ha has decided on a new approach. True North" is not only a new album, but also a film of a-ha recording a song in the Norwegian city of Bodø, 90 km above the Arctic Circle, in November 2021. We tweak each album to see if there's a different way to do it," Paul explains. And with "I'm In" and the other 11 songs on "True North" (six written by Magne, six by Paul), a-ha underscores its commitment to the band by tackling something new. With this, their eleventh studio album and an immediate record of their creative process, a-ha entered a new world. We had the idea to record the studio sessions live. Then we decided to film the studio sessions.That evolved into a production with the Arctic Philharmonic, a Norwegian orchestra with whom we collaborated," Paul says. In the True North film, a-ha played and recorded with the orchestra. The camera also captures the scenery around Bode, and Magne, Morton, and Paul discuss "True North". This multi-dimensional film depicts a story that embodies the spirit of the new song and shows how we are all connected to our environment. a-ha's longtime collaborator Stian Andersen is the director of the film. The film will be included on a USB drive in the Premium Edition. True North" is a letter from a-ha from the Arctic Circle, new music and poetry from the far north of Norway," says Magne.
