While True North is a new album, it is also a film capturing aha recording the songs during November 2021 in Bodoslash, the Norwegian city located 90km above the Arctic Circle.With every album we tweak it, to see if therersquos a different way to go about it,rdquo explains Paul.Magne Furuholmen shares about the first single ldquoIrsquom InrdquolsquoIrsquom inrsquo is a song about total commitment and a show of support for someone who is troubled. 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, selfimprovement, 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 realize whatever potential your commitment has in the world. without allowing ourselves this attitude everything just gets bogged down with conflicting thoughts, doubts and fear. Just say it Irsquom in. a-ha CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £12
