The second single from Savoy’s upcoming seventh studio album is called “Digital River” and was released today.
It can be streamed and downloaded through this link.
“Digital River” was originally part of a-ha’s Cast in Steel recording sessions in 2015, but didn’t make it onto the album. It later re-emerged as a live version played during the Hunting High and Low tour in 2019 and 2020. And now it has become a Savoy song, with vocals from both Lauren and Paul.
Paul has previously described the song as “ponderings on a virtual world competing with the real one”.
The song lyrics have been posted on Savoy’s Facebook page, with a music video to follow soon.
Update: Paul has posted some song credits on Instagram:
“Strings arranged by Joe Mardin, additional programming by Kurt Uenala, Chuck Zwicky, Eliot Leigh & Erik Ljungren, mixed by Simon Vinestock, mastered by Joe Lambert, artwork by Tom Korsvold.”
