ABBA are set to release new music next Friday ( 3rd September 2021) with a virtual hologram world tour to follow....
the holographic tour doesnt interest me but new music certainly does because they wouldnt release anything that wasnt quality material...

I am very curious as to what this is going to sound like. They were offered a billion dollars to reform many years ago. Must have been very tempting but they did not go for it. I hope to God they don't include some stupid rap number in order to appeal to the current mindless mindset...

the album is due fo be released on November 5th 2021 and contains 10 tracks.
the album is titled "voyage" as Benny states in a recent interview that "we are on a voyage into the unknown with the album and the holographic world tour".
the image that is being used to advertise the album so i can only assume it will be the actual album cover art.

and the lead off promo song:
judging by the quality of this track im expecting great things.

Attention Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and all the other wannabees & no-can-do's - this is what real songwriting looks and sounds like. And you will also notice they did not have to resort to crude expletives & half-dressed bimbos to make it work. They have real talent.

^100% Jerome. Suddenly there's a bit of joy in the world. I watched the whole promo launch thing and an interview with Benny and Bjorn. It's utterly fascinating - Benny is a phenomenal songwriter - he doesn't deviate from the tried and trusted paths, thank god, and yet they are using cutting edge technology for this 'tour'. A really strange dichotomy that actually works. I think they made absolutely the right call using those avatars (Agnetha won't travel in any case), and it's all their own movements - they were hooked up to sensors for the filming, so there's still an authenticity to it all. They also recorded everything themselves, together, in the studio, with one engineer, so it's them and there's warmth - just not in flesh and blood. Does this mean we can live forever? Albeit not in the way we thought we might??!!
Here's another track ...
