ABBA Just Announced They Will Release New Music
ABBA fans, you're in for a treat.
The band has announced that they have written and recorded their first new songs since they split in 1982.
Confirming the news on Instagram, the famous Swedish four-piece wrote: "The decision to go ahead with the exciting ABBA avatar tour project had an unexpected consequence. We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the recording studio. So we did. And it was like time had stood still and that we had only been away on a short holiday. An extremely joyful experience!"
They added that one of the two new songs, which will be titled "I Still Have Faith in You," will feature in a television special due to air in December.
"We may have come of age, but the song is new. And it feels good," they concluded.
The announcement comes after singer Bj?rn Ulvaeus, 72, opened up about an "avatar tour project" that the group are taking part in, The Times reports.
Virtual "Abbatars" representing all four members of the Swedish pop group will be revealed for the first time in the TV show this autumn, with a world tour expected to follow in 2019 or 2020.
"You'll hear the voices of Abba coming out of the mouths of the Abbatars," Ulvaeus said at a speech in Brussels earlier this week. "You won't be able to see that they're not human beings. It'll be spooky, I assure you, but great fun and no one has done it before."
In 2012, Abba's greatest hits album, Gold, became the UK's biggest selling CD, according to the Official Charts Company. It had sold 5.3 million copies since its release in 1992.
