ABBA: The band's new songs will be released "for sure" this year


Björn Ulvaeus confirmed that 2021 will be the year we will hear new music from ABBA.

The legendary Swedish band remains inactive after the release of their last album, "The Visitors", in 1981.

Ulvaeus told The Herald Sun: "There will be new music this year, that's for sure, it's no longer the case that could happen, it will happen."

The Swedish singer and songwriter then described what happened the first time ABBA met again in the studio after 40 years.

"We are really, really good friends. The four of us are in the studio for the first time in 40 years and there is something in the fact that we know what we have been through. It's hard to describe, but there are so many bonds between us, "he explained.

In April, Björn Ulvaeus shared more information about the band's upcoming holographic tour and promised that "enough ABBA will be heard".

In 2017 it was announced that the band would be reunited in digital form in 2019, singing as "Abbatars" for the first time since their dissolution in 1982.

When the tour was postponed, ABBA announced in 2018 that they would release two new songs entitled "I Still Have Faith In You" and "Don't Shut Me Down", which were then expanded to five new songs as a reward for their their fans who are even more waiting for their tour due to COVID-related delays.

"One of them is a pop melody, very danceable. The other is more timeless, more thoughtful, that is all I will say. "It's a Scandinavian sad, but at the same time happy piece," Ulvaeus said at the time.

The 76-year-old artist recently ruled out the possibility of creating a biographical film for ABBA.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, he said: "I do not think we would want that, I know for a fact that I would not want an actor - not as long as I live - to play me on the big screen and I do not think others would. they wanted".
