I found something in a German magazine called "Young Miss"

So here he is again!
It appeared as though Morten Harket, star of the Norweigen Band A-ha had dissapeared off the face of the planet!. Now he`s making a comeback, with his new solo album "wild seed". Olaf Wiehler asked the singer what he has been up to in the last few months.

"Quite simple" replies Morten "I have been trying to tune in to my reel feelings and regain some contol over my life." And how have you been doing that? "I've travelled for 18 months through Asia and South America, to find myself - and i feel happier than ever before, he says enthusiastically. It is true that natural beauty comes from within, and at 36 years old, Morten appears so young, that he could easily star in a teenage soap-opera! But at the moment he's not really thinking much about acting. "If I had wanted," says Morten, with a bored expression "I could have appeared in many, many films, i accepted a small role in 1988, but only because i wanted to help the filmmaker with publicity." Although this film was a childrens film, a-ha fans in England besieged cinemas to see Morten, something that Morten himself can't understand. "I've never liked or wanted this teenie-star image."

In the search for himself Morten also discovered his qualities as a song writer: "For ten years now all i have done is write autographs. Now i am finally writing songs."

The result: on "wild seed" there are 12 ballads which could give anyone goosepimples! But, never fear, he has not forgotten his two band collegues, " It's very possible that we will record another Album." But at the moment Morten is concentrating on the one thing thats most important to him, his wife and three small children.
