Norwegian singer-songwriter Elvira Nikolaisen released her new album (Every day I’m) Born Again digitally on Friday, August 15th.

It includes a previously recorded duet with Morten Harket called “I Look to You This Time of Year”. The song was briefly available for download on Elvira’s website back in December 2019, but has now re-appeared on this album.

(Every day I’m) Born Again can be found on all major streaming services. It can also be purchased in hi-res audio from HD Tracks and Pro Studio Masters.

In connection with the album project, a book of sheet music was published earlier this year. There are also plans for a vinyl release at a later stage.

Besides Elvira Nikolaisen on piano, musicians on the track are Kjetil Steensnæs (guitar), Even Ormestad (bass), Thomas Gallatin (timpani), Ole-Henrik Moe (violin) and Kari Rønnekleiv (violin), with backing vocals by Hanne Sørli.
Engineered by Even Ormestad and Bjarne Stensli, mixed by Christian Engfelt and mastered by George Tanderø.

Elvira Nikolaisen records duet with Morten

Norwegian singer-songwriter Elvira Nikolaisen posted a new Christmas song on her website on 25 December, a duet with Morten Harket called “I Look To You This Time Of Year”. She has also posted a picture of them together at a piano on her Instagram.

Elvira Nikolaisen has released four albums since her debut Quiet Exit in 2006.

Back in 2007, Morten and Elvira appeared together in Oslo to promote the launch of Amnesty International’s “Make Some Noise” campaign, for which both a-ha and Elvira contributed cover versions of John Lennon songs.

Update: The song has since been removed, but can still be heard on YouTube.
