Next year, the band will play virtual concerts, for which all four members have created a digital version. The performances will take place in London, in the arena that will be built in Queen Elizabeth’s Olympic Park.

Music publishing manager Miloslav Zýka expects the new album to be a success. According to him, the two already published songs precisely define the style that fans expect from the group. “There are also hints of certain other songs in them, those older hits, and that’s exactly what the fans want – so as not to deviate from the trend they have set,” he told CT. “The sound of two songs corresponds to today, it is modernly recorded, but at the same time it evokes the era of the 70’s and 80’s,” he added.

A group that has not been forgotten

ABBA is a phenomenon that has been able to span generations. When members of the group rarely show up somewhere, their grandmothers, mothers and granddaughters look for them together. This is despite the fact that the band released their last single almost forty years ago.

ABBA pulls regardless of nationality, social status, gender, religion and current trends. “It is from the heart. It’s not like Rihanna. It’s not just sex, it’s feelings. It’s beauty, it’s music, it’s words. Perfect symmetry, “explains British fan Camilla Cookson, the magic of the group’s longevity.

ABBA was founded in 1970, it definitely broke through the victory at the Eurovision Song Contents four years later. “We knew little about show business. And the magic was in our mix of talents. Even the fact that we were (partner) couples, held together and discovered the world, “recalls Anni-Frid Lyngstad, a member of the group.

In addition to the magic of the moment and the ideal partner chemistry, the story of the ABBA brand worked mainly with systematic and hard work. “It simply came to our notice then. I mean, we didn’t have a hit after a hit. We came up with the hit, and then we wrote another song, recorded it and released it, “adds Björn Ulvaeus.
