ABBA’s Agnetha Faltskog’s first single in ten years is ‘a little underwhelming’

Hopes have been excessive. New music linked to Abba at all times excites us, however Agnetha Faltskog’s single – her first new music for ten years – is a bit underwhelming.

Not unhealthy, Where Do We Go From Here? is completely nice; it simply falls in need of the impossibly excessive requirements set by the Swedish band’s traditional hits like Dancing Queen and Waterloo.

The track, specifically written for her by producer Jorgen Elofsson, begins slowly and acoustically, with Agnetha revealing ‘Outside I’m chilly, however I’m burning inside.’

It’s not influenza that troubles her, although, simply the timeless pull of affection.

The pop legend shortly hits a summery midtempo groove earlier than reaching the wistfully catchy refrain. ‘…it feels like I’m drowning,’ she sings.

‘Don’t let me go now, please maintain me nearer…’

It’s a well-made quantity, a particular grower with pleasing synthesisers and vocal distortion.

It’ll be the background to a thousand seaside events, and may hook her a brand new technology of followers.
