They are one of the most-loved bands from the 80s and their music still rules discos and nightclubs after all this years. They turned down a $1 bn comeback contract in 2000 but, are now officially releasing two brand new tracks this year. Abba is back after 35 years and music lovers worldwide are holding their collective breath.
Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid are all set to make a comeback after a 35-year hiatus.
ABBA, the Swedish pop group, took to Instagram and wrote, “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 on a short 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.”
Fan immediately went on an overdrive on social media platforms and welcomed the news. Here are some of the tweets.
