On July 27, the 'Foot of the Mountain' album will be released in the UK. Leading up to the release next Monday, the album has been chosen for this week's 'Album of the Week' by the biggest selling national Sunday paper, News of the World, and will also be 'Album of the Week' on Radio 2!
News of the World only reviews one single and one album per week - and the choice is based on their own favorites! Today's News of the World included the following album review:
"With new artists like Florence and the Machine and Little Boots plundering the 80s it's a good time for the Take On Me trio to show them how it's done.
Half of the 10 songs are zippy, uptempo synthpop - nothing like you'd expect from blokes knocking on for 50. The other half are moody ballads, which show why Chris Martin is a massive fan - Shadowside could easily be by Coldplay. A great return that's as sharp as Morten Harket's cheekbones."
'Foot of the Mountain' will also be Radio 2’s 'Album of the Week' which will guarantee ten album track plays across a week on Ken Bruce and Janice Long. Next Saturday, a-ha will be guests of Radio 2's Dermot O'Leary, and the guys will play five songs, including a cover of a great British song!
The UK has been very receptive to 'Foot of the Mountain.' Over the past couple of weeks, a-ha has been doing a lot of great promotion - including interviews, web casts and even an acoustic performance or two - and there is much more to come! Keep updated by bookmarking these posts:
