Our Take

A-HA's "Headlines And Deadlines - The Hits Of" is a compilation album that takes listeners on a whirlwind journey through the iconic Norwegian band's greatest hits. From the infectious synth-pop anthem "Take On Me" to the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Hunting High and Low," this album is a must-listen for any fan of 80s music.

The album kicks off with the catchy "The Sun Always Shines on TV," a track that perfectly encapsulates the band's signature blend of catchy hooks and emotional depth. Lead singer Morten Harket's soaring vocals are on full display here, showcasing his impressive range and emotive delivery.

As the album progresses, we are treated to classics such as "I've Been Losing You" and "Cry Wolf," both of which showcase the band's knack for crafting infectious pop melodies with a dark, brooding edge. The production on these tracks is top-notch, with lush synths and tight percussion creating a rich sonic backdrop for Harket's vocals to shine.

The album closes with the anthemic "Take On Me," arguably A-HA's most famous and enduring hit. The track's iconic music video may have overshadowed its musical merits over the years, but listening to it in the context of this album, it's clear that "Take On Me" is a timeless pop gem that still holds up today.

In short, "Headlines And Deadlines - The Hits Of" is a must-have for any A-HA fan, as well as a perfect introduction for newcomers looking to delve into the band's iconic discography. So grab your best 80s outfit, crank up the volume, and get ready to dance the night away to these timeless hits. Cheers!
