More about: A-Ha

Norwegian legends a-ha are back with their first new music since 2015 today with ‘I’m In’. The single is taken from their upcoming album True North, which will arrive later this year with an accompanying filmed studio session in Bodø, Norway.

A-ha have gone big on ‘I’m In’, completing the song’s stunning vocals with orchestral instrumentation that gives the track an ethereal ambience that reflects the magic of where the album was recorded, 90km above the Arctic Circle. The band collaborated with the Arctic Philharmonic on ‘I’m In’ and throughout True North.

Magne Furuholmen said that the new song is about “total commitment and a show of support for someone who is troubled”.

He continued: Real commitment is a leap of faith. Everyone knows how difficult it can be to offer commitment and support unconditionally, but this is what it takes to make anything worthwhile happen – love, friendship, change, self-improvement, careers, a better world. Easier said than done of course but it begins with an attitude, then uttering the words. After this it is all hard work to realise whatever potential your commitment has in the world. Without this attitude everything just gets bogged down with conflicting thoughts, doubts and fear. Just say it: ‘I’m in’.”
