Five years after a-ha released their last single, they now return with “Under The Make-Up”, the first single taken from the band’s upcoming album “Cast In Steel” (you can listen to it on our Spotify playlist). Written by Paul Savoy and produced in collaboration with Erik Ljunggren, Lars Horntveth did the orchestral arrangement on “Under The Make-Up”.
In Norway, the single is being released by Universal Norway and is available on all platforms for download and streaming (Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, WiMP, Tidal, etc). In Germany and the rest of Europe, the single is being released by Universal Germany, and will be streaming only (Spotify and Apple Music). It will be made available for download next month. In the rest of the world, the song is being released by a-ha/Phonofile and will be available for download and streaming (Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, WiMP, Tidal, etc).
Universal Music also posted a minimal video for the single.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
