a-ha in the studio - New album scheduled to be released this year.

Morten, Magne and Paul have been recording a lot of new songs for the forthcoming album. All three of them are contributing to the songwriting, and they seem to have at least 20 - 30 songs to pick from so far. In what has been described as a very creatively inspired process, the three of them are in the studio together for the first time in quite a while, apparently having a lot of fun and working in a relaxed mood. The development process has taken place in London, New York and Oslo...

An interesting occurrence: On the Billboard Pop Charts at #72: "Dragostea Din Tei (Ma Ya Hi)" by Dan Balan feat. Lucas Prata...

Just found this review Billboard: DAN BALAN (OF O-ZONE) FEATURING LUCAS PRATA Ma Ya Hi In its original Romanian version ("Dragostea Din Tei"), this major slab of Euro dance/pop topped the charts in France, Germany, Romania and most every other European country. Then, Ultra released the original and English-language versions last fall—with nary a care from Americans. But then a homemade video popped up on the Internet, and all of a sudden, Ultra's phones began to ring. After a recent appearance on "Today," the label is now rushing this new Today Show mix to radio. This could very well become the novelty hit of 2005. It is culled from O-Zone's 2004 album, "DiscOzone."—MP

Great to see this on the US chart! Dan Balan is, of course, the tall guy from O-Zone. (This specific version first surfaced on the Internet in August last year, and was wrongly labeled as O-Zone's English version). Oh, and the remixes for the Dan Balan & Lucas Prata are SO TOTALLY dreadful! (Very "empty" and far too American house sounding).
