According to the website of 140dB Management, UK producer Steve Osborne is “about to start work on a solo album for Morten Harket”.
Exactly when this was posted and how far along they are in the process is not known.
Osborne previously worked with a-ha as a producer, mixer and musician on the Foot Of The Mountain album in 2009. He also did alternate mixes of “Nothing Is Keeping You Here” and, most recently, “Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)”.
Update: The solo album info has now been removed from the 140db Management website.
In a message sent out to several fans, 140db Management writes the following:
“Steve is not currently doing any work with Morten. Unfortunately that is an error at this stage and nothing has taken place. One of our interns got over excited and has placed that on a page as he has been updating our website and assumed this project is happening. At this stage nothing has happened or is actually confirmed.
You can definitely pass the word as there is nothing going on at the moment. Of course that may change in the future but our official comment is that nothing is happening at the present time. Steve is currently working on a band from New York called Glint.”
