Listening...

Morten Harket, until recently the lead singer of Aha, will release a new solo album in April which includes a new song by Pet Shop Boys. The album is called Out Of My Hands and the new song by Pet Shop Boys is entitled "Listening".

Harket approached Pet Shop Boys in September last year and was offered the recently written ballad which Neil and Chris thought would suit his voice.

The album tracklist:

1. Scared of Heights
2. Keep the Sun Away
3. Lightning
4. I'm the One
5. Quiet
6. Burn Money Burn
7. When I Reached the Moon
8. Listening
9. Just Believe it
10. Out of my Hands



The first single is called "Lightning" and will be released on March 9th in Norway only.






The second single from the album will "Scared Of Heights" and will be released internationally on March 23rd. A music video will be released soon.



And more on the Pet Shop Boys: he producer for the forthcoming PSB album has been announced.

Andrew Dawson, the multi-platinum-selling, multiple Grammy Award-winning producer, audio engineer, and mixer extraordinaire, has forged close professional relationships with some of the music industry’s biggest hip-hop and pop stars and helped to produce some of this generation’s most massive genre-bending hits. And this year, he will produce the new Pet Shop Boys album.

Dawson has worked with an impressive group of A-list, chart-topping recording artists in his own studio (Dawson’s SoundEQ in Hollywood, CA) and in major studios around the globe including, but not limited to, R&B/pop superstars John Legend, Ne-Yo andBeyonce, rap/hip-hop superstars Common, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, and T.I. pop/rock superstars Michelle Branch, Third Eye Blind, Kimbra, and Fun., and most recently P.O.S., The Morning Benders, and Pet Shop Boys.

Considering the people he has worked with previously, this seems an odd choice. But I am sure that the boys know what they are doing. I have loved every single one of their previous albums, so I'm sure this one will be good. No release date has been announced, but the album is supposed to come out later this year.
