Björn Ulvaeus on the ABBA reunion: It felt just like forty years ago

Music The wildly popular Swedish pop group ABBA went in 1983 from each other, but Agnetha Fältskog (69), Björn Ulvaeus (73), Benny Andersson (72), and Anni-Frid Lyngstad (73) after all these years again come together for new songs to work. “It was really perfect,” says Björn Ulvaeus.

“It felt as if we had forty years ago in the studio were," says Björn Ulvaeus, the British newspaper The Sun. “When we were there, I realized suddenly: this feels natural, but also really weird. It is 35 years ago.”

However, everything fell quickly back into the fold, and sounded the group also immediately as ABBA, says Ulvaeus. “The ladies singing in a lower key, which is completely natural. That just happens. But it is great: they start to sing, and wow: that is ABBA. It is a great sound. It's just Benny and me and the ladies to feel what is right for ABBA and what is not.”

ABBA-tars

Björn and Benny worked for two months on new songs for ABBA, who is soon on a brand new album. When the numbers are coming, is still unclear. Amazingly, slows technology the release. As previously announced, namely, holographic versions of the band members at the time of 1979. These images - applicable ‘ABBA-tars’ - will be used in music videos and later in place of the artists go on tour. “The heads will be from 1979. The voices of now," says Ulvaeus. But the digitisation of the artists takes longer than foreseen. “It is hard work, because we are literally copied, and you will not be able to see that there is no man for you. You see clothing and every pore, every hair, everything. So you can be as close as you want and it will still look like a man.”
