After four decades of anticipation, ABBA, the iconic Swedish pop group, returns with their ninth studio album, "Voyage." Released on November 5, 2021, this collection of ten new songs marks the band's first studio album since "The Visitors" in 1981. Composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, "Voyage" is a testament to ABBA's enduring musical prowess, blending their signature sound with contemporary production techniques.
The album kicks off with the powerful duet "I Still Have Faith In You," followed by the nostalgic "When You Danced With Me." Tracks like "Little Things" and "Don't Shut Me Down" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy, upbeat pop songs, while "Just A Notion" and "I Can Be That Woman" offer a more introspective side of ABBA. The album concludes with the stirring "Ode To Freedom," a fitting finale to this long-awaited release.
"Voyage" is not just an album; it's a celebration of ABBA's legacy and a testament to their enduring influence on pop music. The album is accompanied by a groundbreaking concert experience in London, where ABBA members Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus perform digitally with a live band in a purpose-built arena. This innovative approach allows fans to experience ABBA's music in a unique and immersive way. With "Voyage," ABBA proves that they are still a force to be reckoned with in the world of pop music.
