Morten will go on tour beginning in April, and all tour dates confirmed so far can be found on his official site. You can also follow updates on Twitter and Facebook.
Speaking of Morten’s tour, over 1500 fans participated in Morten’s setlist contest last month! The a-ha song that received the most votes and will be performed on Morten’s upcoming tour is ‘Out Of Blue Comes Green’. Five lucky fans have been chosen at random from the entries to receive a signed copy of Morten’s forthcoming album. To see the list of winners, visit mortenharket.com.
Also last month, Morten was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for a promo appearance and meet & greet at FNAC Bookstore. Fans were given the opportunity to ask Morten questions and listen to samples of six songs from ‘Out Of My Hands’. Afterwards, Morten signed autographs and took photos with fans.

Happy Valentine’s day to Morten. How sexy and seductive is the cover to his new album and single. I wish I had listened to Norwegian radio as it premiered his single “Lightning” can we have it played on radio 2 in the UK so we can hear his fantastic vocals. I cannot wait to buy copies of his single and album and see him in Manchester. Xx

Thank-you Morten for this amazing song.I had the feeling of anticipation and excitement on hearing it for the first time,a feeling I feared I wouldn’t get again after the last a-ha song was released.’Lightning’ struck me immediately with the perfect,unique vocals and the wonderful tune.I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.
