LIghtning is actually only going to be a single in Norway.
Everyone else is getting Scared of Heights which is a cover of the Espen Lind song . This will be released on March 23rd. I actually prefer Lightning

Album is called Out Of My Hands and will be released in April http://www.mortenharket.com/

Tracklisting
* TRACKLISTING:
* 1 Scared of Heights
* 2 Keep the Sun Away
* 3 Lightning
* 4 I'm the One
* 5 Quiet
* 6 Burn Money Burn
* 7 When I Reached the Moon
* 8 Listening
* 9 Just Believe it
* 10 Out of my Hands

Pet Shop Boys have supposedly contributed to the album, but I don't know which song yet.
Burn Money Burn is an English version of Kent's song Kärleken Väntar

I also wanted to mention that "Wild Seed" his debut LP is worth tracking down, kind of a moody mellow classic.
