ABBA reunited: Ready with new songs

Mamma Mia! ABBA is back together again. The Swedish ABBA has recorded new music for the first time in 35 years

They already have their own museum where they stand as lively figures formed in wax – Agnetha, Benny, Björn, Anni-Frid, mostly known as ABBA.

But after 35 years ABBA has recorded two new songs.

The decision to go ahead with the exciting ABBA avatar tour project had an unexpected consequence. We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the recording studio. So we did. And it was like time had stood still and that we only had been away ona ashort holiday. An extremely joyful experience. It resulted in two new songs and one of them ‘I Still Have Faith In You’ will be performed by our digital selves in a TV special produced by NBC and the BBC aimed for broadcasting in December. We may have come of age, but the song is new. And it feels good.Agnetha, Benny, Björn, Anni-Frid.
