Agnetha Faltskog, one of the renowned stars of the immensely popular Swedish pop group ABBA, has announced the launch of a new single, marking the revival of her solo career at the age of 73.
Faltskog, who served as the lead vocalist alongside Anni-Frid Lyngstad in the iconic band formed in 1972, has not released a solo album in over ten years. Her announcement about the world premiere of ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ on BBC Radio 2 with Zoe Ball was shared on social media, encouraging fans to tune in on August 31st from 8:30 am (BST).
ABBA, a band that captivated millions of fans globally with timeless hits like ‘Dancing Queen‘ and ‘Fernando,’ achieved a landmark victory at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with their unforgettable performance of ‘Waterloo’. Their music has remained influential, transcending generations and cementing their legacy as one of the greatest pop bands in history.
The release of Faltskog’s new single is particularly significant as it represents a return to the music scene after a considerable hiatus. Her last solo album, ‘A’, was released in 2013 and received critical acclaim. This new single, ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’, is anticipated with much excitement as fans are eager to hear her melodious voice once again.
Faltskog’s journey in the music industry has been remarkable. Born on April 5, 1950, in Jönköping, Sweden, she showed an early interest in music and formed a musical group, the Cambers, at the age of 15. She eventually pursued a solo career and gained success in Sweden before becoming a member of ABBA.
Throughout the years, Faltskog has released several solo albums, each showcasing her vocal range and musical talent. Her first solo album, ‘Agnetha Fältskog,’ was released in 1968, followed by several others over the years. Despite facing personal challenges and taking breaks from the public eye, she has always found her way back to music.
The release of ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ signifies not only a resurgence of her solo career but also serves as a testament to her enduring passion for music. Fans of ABBA and Faltskog alike are eagerly awaiting the release of the single, hoping it will be followed by a full album.
As the world tunes in to hear Agnetha Faltskog’s new single, it is a reminder of the enduring power of music and the artists who create it.
