There are several updates today about a-ha’s final single,‘Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)’.
The single was released last week in Norway and debuted in the Norwegian singles chart this week at #13. The song continues to rise in the airplay chart in Norway, reaching #6 this week.
The single will have its radio premiere in the UK on theKen Bruce show on Radio 2on July 15. Broadcasts are available online for a week after they air, so if you can’t listen live there will be time to catch it in the coming days online.
Fans in Budapest, Hungary were the first to see a-ha perform‘Butterfly Butterfly’ live in concert last night at Papp László Sportaréna. a-ha opened their set with the new single, and there are a couple of video clips onYouTube.
Speaking of videos, if you’re followinga-ha.com on Twitteror checking for updates on the home page here, you already know that the video for‘Butterfly, Butterfly’ was filmed in England earlier this week, with director Steve Barron. As the director of seven of a-ha’s early videos, including their ground-breaking video for“Take On Me” twenty-five years ago, Steve Barron’s involvement with a-ha’s final video seems like an appropriate– not to mention exciting– collaboration to many fans. We don’t have information yet on the release date for the video, but we’ll be sure to post it as soon as we do.
In the meantime, if you haven’t seenthe photosfrom the video shoot, here the highlights (click the pictures to see a larger version):
