Neil Tennant does the backing vocals for the song Listening, which was written by PSB.

where do you think the album will land on the german album chart?

by **sneakythesnake** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 11:56 am

well I see it's currently No. 7 on amazon.de..I would say he'll just make the Top 10, but it will drop very quickly

by **Benny** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 9:14 pm

Can't believe he's 52

"Scared Of Heights" is nice, his voice is as beautiful as always 8-)

The album will go top 10 in Germany for sure, after all the success A-ha had in the past 12 years (six albums going top 6 including three number ones).

by **sneakythesnake** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 9:49 pm

He's been doing a lot of promo in Germany so yeah he should go top 10.

Just Believe It, Keep The Sun Away, and Listening are my favourites so far. I'm The One is very cheesy.Quite a few a-ha fans are not keen on the album, but I think it's his best one.

that's good!

Love Morten's voice, but I always finds his solo releases to be pretty boring... I by far prefer his work with A-ha.

by **sneakythesnake** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 9:55 pm

He's performing some a-ha stuff on his solo tour.I'm going to see him in Manchester and London next month. It will be weird not having Paul and Magne there on stage.

Stand out track is IMHO the title track "Out of my hands" 8-)

it's a nice song that fits really well to Morten's powerful voice

by **CrazyCrazy** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 3:34 pm

Will check his album, been feeling SOH even more recently, I love the sentiment and sensibility of the song.
