A-ha released a 4K version of 'Take On Me'

The Norwegian trio released a restored version for the music video of their 1985 hit Steve Barron, which blends animated pencil sketches and live-action scenes in an eye-catching visual. A press release said that "most music videos from this time were edited in tape format, while this clip was uniquely restored from the original 35mm film reels". A-ha aim to reach one billion views on YouTube with this video, which would make it the first pop music video of the '80s and first music video by a European act to accomplish this feat.
